BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
1. Field of the Invention 
The present invention relates to a hands and arms cleaning apparatus and 
more particularly pertains to automatically cleaning hands and arms of a 
user with a hands and arms cleaning apparatus. 
2. Description of the Prior Art 
The use of hand washing devices is known in the prior art. More 
specifically, hand washing devices heretofore devised and utilized for the 
purpose of automatically washing hands are known to consist basically of 
familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding 
the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been 
developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements. 
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,439,370 to McLaughlin discloses a hand 
washing machine. 
U.S. Pat. No. 4,769,863 to Tegg et al. discloses a hand wash unit. 
U.S. Pat. No. Des. 315,196 to Tegg et al. discloses the ornamental design 
for a portable hand wash unit. 
U.S. Pat. No. 4,295,233 to Hinkel et al. discloses an automatic hand washer 
and dryer. 
U.S. Pat. No. 4,606,085 to Davies discloses a hand washing device. 
U.S. Pat. No. Des. 272,263 to Lienhard discloses the ornamental design for 
a hand washer. 
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective and 
requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a hands and arms 
cleaning apparatus for automatically cleaning hands and arms of a user. 
In this respect, the hands and arms cleaning apparatus according to the 
present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and 
designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily 
developed for the purpose of automatically cleaning hands and arms of a 
user. 
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for 
new and improved hands and arms cleaning apparatus which can be used for 
automatically cleaning hands and arms of a user. In this regard, the 
present invention substantially fulfills this need.

thereof within the water channel 36. Each of the rods 62 have bristles 66 
extending radially therefrom. The water from the water supply line 28 
flows through the water channel 36 causing the propulsion of the 
propeller's 64 thereby causing the rotating of the brushing members 60. 
The preferred number of brushing members 60 is four with the brushing 
members positioned adjacent to the hand receiving holes 44 to rotate about 
the user's hands and arms when they are placed within the housing 12. 
Additional water will be sprayed out of the plurality of water sprayers 50 
to rinse off any soap that was originally placed on the arms and hands. 
The excess water is then drained out of the water drain 32. The device 10 
can be mounted to a bathroom wall of any establishment or institution. 
As to the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same 
should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further 
discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided. 
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the 
optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to 
include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and the 
manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and 
obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to 
those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are 
intended to be encompassed by the present invention. 
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the 
principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modification and 
changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired 
to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and 
described, and accordingly, all suitable modification and equivalents may 
be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
