Portable clothes washing device

Abstract

A portable clothes washing device having a container for receiving clothes to be washed and liquid for washing, an apertured pressure agitator in the container which may be placed over clothes in the container, a rod attached to the pressure agitator, a cover having a hole through which the rod freely movably extends, and a handle on the end of the rod for manipulating the pressure agitator. Preferably, the container is tapered to its bottom and the pressure agitator is of a diameter less but about the diameter of the bottom of the container.

1 . A portable clothes washing device comprising 
 a container having a bottom and closed at its sides adapted to receive fabric like material to be washed and liquid for washing,    an apertured pressure agitator adapted for movable seating in the container over said material to be washed,    a rod attached to said pressure agitator,    a cover for said container adapted to enclose said material and said pressure agitator, 
 said container having an aperture permitting said rod to extend from said container and to freely move said pressure agitator for pressing and agitating clothes in said container, and  
   means on said rod for manipulating said pressure agitator toward and away from said cover and said container bottom.    
   
   
       2 . The portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 1 , wherein said container is tapered to its bottom.  
   
   
       3 . The portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 1 , wherein said pressure agitator has is dimensioned less than but about the dimensions of said container bottom.  
   
   
       4 . The portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 3 , wherein said pressure agitator and said container are round in their corresponding planes.  
   
   
       5 . The portable washing device recited in  claim 1 , wherein a closeable and openable spigot extends from one of its said sides adjacent the bottom of said container for selectively draining fluid from said container.  
   
   
       6 . The portable washing device recited in  claim 1 , wherein said cover has an aperture for filing the contained with liquid.  
   
   
       7 . The portable washing device recited in  claim 1 , wherein said apertured pressure agitator has apertures arranged around said rod.  
   
   
       8 . The portable washing device recited in  claim 7 , wherein said apertures are sizes to permit liquid to be forced through said material by manipulating said handle when said material and liquid are installed in said container and said cover is removably secured over said container.  
   
   
       9 . The portable washing device recited in  claim 8 , said pressure agitator may be manipulated from adjacent to said cover toward said container bottom.  
   
   
       10 . The portable washing device recited in  claim 9 , wherein the pressure of such force is increased as said pressure agitator is manipulated toward said container bottom.  
   
   
       11 . The portable washing device recited in  claim 1 , wherein said manipulating means comprises a handle which may be grasped by hand.  
   
   
       12 . A portable clothes washing device comprising 
 a container having a bottom and closed at its sides adapted to receive fabric like material to be washed and liquid for washing,    a pressure agitator adapted for movably seating in the container over said material to be washed and adaptable to be reciprocated in said container.,    a rod attached to said pressure agitator,    a removably secured cover for said container adapted to enclose said material and said pressure agitator, 
 said container having an aperture permitting said rod to extend from said container and to freely move said pressure agitator for pressing and agitating clothes in said container, and  
   means on said rod for manipulating said pressure agitator toward and away from said cover and said container bottom.    
   
   
       13 . In the portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 12 , wherein said pressure agitator is dimensioned to permit it to be freely reciprocated in said container for forcing liquid through said material.  
   
   
       14 . In the portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 13 , wherein said pressure agitator is apertured to permit fluid under pressure to pass through it.  
   
   
       15 . In the portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 12 , wherein said cover has vent holes for admitting air into said container.  
   
   
       16 . In the portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 12 , wherein said cover has entry means for admitting liquid into said container when said cover is secured on said container.  
   
   
       17 . In the portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 14 , wherein said apertures are spaced around the periphery of said pressure agitator.  
   
   
       18 . In the portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 12 , wherein said rod is removably secured to said pressure agitator.  
   
   
       19 . In the portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 12 , wherein said manipulating means is removably secured to said rod.  
   
   
       20 . In the portable clothes washing device recited in  claim 12 , wherein said cover has a double wall for closing the container when filled with fluid and said pressure agitator is reciprocated in said container.
