| Abstract: |
A car washing mitt constituting a flexible glove adapted to be worn on the hand of a user, having a palm pad formed of sponge material, and a liquid soap reservoir also mounted on the glove. A flexible water hose may be connected to a control device mounted on the glove, and the control device includes a manually operable selector valve, which may be set to deliver water selectively either directly to the interior of the pad, or to the interior of the pad after intermixture thereof with soap from the reservoir, or to a jet directed forwardly from the tip of the glove for rinsing purposes.

What I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. A car washing mitt comprising:
- a. a glove which may be worn on the hand of a user,
- b. a control valve mounted on said glove,
- c. means whereby said control valve may be furnished with a constant supply of water under pressure,
- d. a pad of sponge material mounted on the palm of said glove,
- e. means for delivering water from said control valve to the interior of said pad,
- f. a liquid soap reservoir also mounted on said glove and comprising an elongated hollow cylinder vented to the atmosphere at one end thereof,
- g. soap-water mixing means mounted on said glove and operable by the flow of water therethrough comprising a passageway operable to receive water from said control valve and to deliver it to the interior of said pad and having a restricted portion whereby the flow of water therethrough creates a zone of sub-atmospheric pressure, said zone of sub-atmospheric pressure being interconnected to said hollow cylinder at the end thereof opposite from its atmospheric vent and
- h. A piston mounted frictionally in said hollow cylinder for movement therealong, whereby when soap is withdrawn from said hollow cylinder said piston follows to render liquid soap continuously available at said zone of sub-atmospheric pressure, regardless of the physical position of said glove, said control valve being operable to deliver water selectively either through said mixing means to said pad, or directly to said pad in by-passing relation to said mixing means, or to stop the flow of water.
