<p>A self-contained, hand-held washing and/or massaging appliance comprising a resiliently deformable pressure member (5) whose inner surface is mounted face-to-face against an outer wall (11) of a rigid reservoir for a viscous fluid, the pressure member having a valve closure stem (13) projecting from its inner surface through a fluid outlet opening in the said reservoir wall and normally abutting sealingly against a valve seat (15) around that opening with the deformable pressure member in its relaxed condition, there being a clearance, transverse to its inner surface, between the opposed surfaces of the pressure member (5) and the reservoir wall (11) at least in the region of the fluid outlet, and the pressure member (5) being resiliently deformable in use by the temporary application of working pressure to displace the valve closure stem (13) from its seat (15) to open the fluid outlet opening to allow egress of the fluid. In the example of a massaging appliance, the deformable pressure member (5) would be rubbed against the body, and would thereby receive its working pressure in use, sufficient to displace the valve closure stem (13) and to release the fluid for application over the body being rubbed.</p> |
