Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate a waste of water and, further, prevent water from being scattered when a nozzle is directed upward by providing an object detecting means for remotely detecting an object, on the end of said nozzle, and jetting out water from said nozzle based on the detected signal of said object detecting means. CONSTITUTION:A sensor 12 consisting of the transmitter of a supersonic wave A and a receiver for receiving a reflected wave, as an object detecting means, is provided on the end of a nozzle 11, and outputs a detected signal when an object is within, e.g., 50cm. Also, a sensor unavailable switch 13 is provided, to enable water to be jetted out of the nozzle 11 by turning on the switch 13 when the sensor 12 fails to detect an object. Accordingly, water can be jetted out when the nozzle 11 is directed to an object, i.e., a car body, at a distance within 50cm. Therefore, when the nozzle 11 is being moved or when the nozzle 11 is erroneously directed upward, the jet of water does not take place. As a result, a waste of water can be eliminated while water can be prevented from being scattered.
