Normally, the utensils used by many people for bathing and showering are simple sponges. But in many occasions and based on the physical characteristics, state of health, needs or habits of each person, the bath sponges may not be sufficient for daily personal cleaning and have to be used cumulatively or successively, other utensils such as brushes scrape, brushes, sponges special sanitary, pumice stones ... so that their joint transport is difficult, not only to occupy a large volume, but because they are the last elements and absorb large amounts of water should not be combined with other cleaning tools such as toothbrushes teeth, hair or other common elements of personal care. For this reason, it is usual to abandon its inclusion in suitcases and in the traditional plastic bags, because the necessary hygienic conditions are not guaranteed.

In the invention U8803949 a device is described that is arranged and mounted in a receptacle or box that is fixed by its bottom wall to the respective wall by appropriate elements or means, such as screws or the like. Inside the box, a spindle is arranged vertically, one end of which is mounted on a support piece that has an electrical contact facing another upper one disposed on the upper face of the box. A bracket equipped with two side contacts is mounted on the spindle so that when the spindle is rotated by an autonomous motor, the support moves until it reverses direction by means of the aforementioned contacts and localized electrical inverters facing the contacts previously mentioned. The device facilitates a vertical movement of the brush that is also rotating.

In the patent 200401801 there is described a shower for the disabled, in which a rotating brush (1) provided with a perforated wall core (3) is provided, through which a supply of water and detergent is established by means of a collector (4) incorporated in a rotating relation with said tubular core (3).

In the invention U9003461 there is shown a brush for bath and shower intended to be taken by the hand of the user and rub with the corresponding head on the skin of said user, while simultaneously applying the corresponding soap that comes out through that brush head.

The assembly object of the invention, although it pursues similar aims to the cited inventions, presents a series of peculiarities that make it novel with respect to the known systems, in particular and with respect to the previous inventions, it brings the advantage of its easy transportation, cleaning and handling, because it is not an element fixed or anchored in the bathroom area.

Regarding the hand tools, it presents the novelty of the quick and easy extraction of the accessory parts to the handle due to its unique system of notches for rotation and method of fixing the accessory elements.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The multifunction device is shown as a set of removable elements or parts that have a shape similar to that of a long-handled bath and shower brush when it is extended, but can take several positions and when it is disassembled, it can easily be stored in a hermetic box equipped with spongy compartments to house each of the parts, so that they can be removed for proper cleaning and the set can be easily transported in a suitcase

The invention consists of three fundamental parts: removable tubular structure handle, swivel part and attachable washing and hygiene accessories, which allows the appliance to perform the function of being able to use several hygiene accessories in the same bathroom session using the same set by its simple coupling and separation with a simple "click".

Also, accessories such as the sponge, brush, massager and sandpaper can be oriented and fixed firmly in different positions through the system of notches and coupling of the turning part, facilitating cleaning or other hygiene operations on the different parts of the body. difficult or impossible access for people who are obese or have mobility problems.

In particular, the invention has the following advantages:

- Easy extraction and colocation of the pieces

- Low manufacturing cost
