A rotational driving device is provided within the housing for rotationally driving the arm assembly. A washing liquid feed hose is connected to the ejection nozzle. A compressed air feed pipe has one end mounted to the casing to communicate with the pressure chamber. A control device controls the amount and speed of extension and retraction of the arm assembly and includes a perforated metallic belt connected to a base end of the innermost cylindrical member.
