FIELD OF INVENTION: This invention relates to improvements in the field of washing machines for clothes textile and similar items. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION WITH REGARDS TO THE DRAWBACK ASSOCIATED WITH KNOWN ART: The existing machines are bulkier and use large ground space. Normally the bathroom is small in size and this machine can not be easily located in a bathroom. Existing washing machine needs large size of bathroom. Accordingly these machines are kept in bedrooms, sitting rooms, balconies and other places. Or the washing machine needs to be transported every time it is used. If the washing machine is kept anywhere else then a large space is blocked and piping needs to be extended to the place. There is a difficulty in extending water pipe arrangement to the location of the washing machine. Manual washing of clothes as per practice or convention in the household is done in the bathroom. Hence washing of clothes and textiles are more suited in bathroom due to availability of water and drainage. Most people do not have large space in their bathroom and they face this space problem. Existing machines have arrangement of tub or drum which is rotated continuously or gyrated in to and fro direction requiring high power and consume high amount of electrical energy. In invention GB1255470 -1971 the speed is developed in steps so as to maintain balance. The soap or detergent and water or soap solution is to be poured into the machine. The drum is rotated or gyrated along with clothes and soap solution which cleans the clothes and textiles due to churning effect. Some of the machines have a system of soap solution being stationary and clothes in the drum rotating in a perforated tub. Some machines rotate in forward as well as reverse direction in gyration. In another invention GB2358642 heated water is injected into cleaning solution to improve cleaning. In another invention EP0004490 a mechanical arrangement have been devised to change direction of rotation to improve cleaning. There are fully automatic machines where many operations are automated with timers and sensors. These machines because of their number of component tend to be heavy. All the machines are bulkier and heavy and use similar method of rotating the clothes in a soap solution. The machines have lot of components and are thus heavy. The machines need long time of operation to clean properly and thus consuming more energy. None of the device incorporates use of vanes attached to shaft that vibrate in soap solution containing clothes and textiles for cleaning. None of the device incorporates method of fixing the device on the wall. All devices use a method of moving, rotating or gyrating clothes and textiles in the soap solution. OBJECT OF THE rNVENTION: To solve the above problem, the present invention provides a washing machine that does not use floor space. Another object of the present invention is to make the washing machine light in weight. Another object of this invention is not to rotate or to gyrate the clothes and textiles in the soap solution. Use of space saving design is characterized by system of fixing the device on to the wall. Light weight of the device is characterized by use of tubular members and also that the tub or drum containing soap solution clothes and textiles is not contained in the device. STATEMENT OF INVENTION: The device, capable of being fixed on to the wall and which cleans the clothes by means of vanes fixed to a shaft that vibrate in the bucket containing soap solution, clothes and textiles, is unique. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: The problem of location and floor space consumption is overcome by fixing the washing machine to the wall and arrangement for folding the device to further make it space saving. The washing machine for cleaning clothes and textile has a clamp for fixing the device to the wall. A horizontal tubular bar hinged at the clamp also has a hinge at the middle for positioning and folding. At the other end of the horizontal tubular bar have a motor box attached to it. The motor box has an electric motor with one end attached to the horizontal bar and at the other end is attached to a vertical shaft. The motor has a rotating shaft to which has an eccentric wheel which when rotated creates vibration to the vertical shaft. The vertical shaft attached to the motor also has an extension shaft with vanes. When the motor is rotated and the vertical shaft vibrates along with the extension shaft. The device has a regulator for regulating the vibration. Extension shaft with vanes when vibrate inside the tub containing soap solution, clothes and textiles get cleaned. In this method clothes and textiles are not rotated or gyrated and thus electrical energy is not used for rotating or gyrating clothes and textiles. In one form of the invention the device can be modified to exclude the clamp and that the horizontal bars with hinges being modified to represent a handle for holding in hand and vertical shaft shortened considerably so that the device is operated as hand held device. In another form of the invention horizontal bar is smaller without any hinge for accommodating in a further smaller space. In other form of the invention the motor box instead of having is the use of motor and an eccentric wheel can be of electro magnetic by use of solenoids. In another form of the invention the option for vanes for size, shape and number can be different. In one more form of the invention the option of material of construction for vertical shafts, extension shaft, horizontal bar, motor box and clamp can be either galvanized steel or coated steel or stainless steel or plastic. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWING The invention is described in the following fashion by way of an example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig1- It illustrates the external view of the invention. Fig2- It depicts the invention in folded position with extension removed. Fig3- It illustrates the extension shaft and when detatched from the washing machine. Fig4 -It shows the internal arrangement of the motor box and Fig 5- It illustrates the invention in one form modified to be held in hand. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO DRAWINGS AND EXAMPLES: Referring to the drawings in "Fig1" a device for cleaning clothes and textile in accordance with the invention indicated generally by reference numeral '10'. A device for cleaning clothes and textile refer '10' consisting a clamp '20' at one end of a horizontal bar '120' for fixing to the wall and a hinge '125' in between so that the device can be folded with a motor box '30' at the other end. The clamp '20' has a gasket pasted on the external side and have hales for fixing on the wall with the help of spring washers, nuts and bolts. The motor '30' have a vertical shaft '40' to which an extension shaft '50' is attached which has vanes '60' at the end. The extension shaft '50' can be detached as and when required by an arrangement of screwing. The extension shaft can be of various sizes and shapes as may be required for various types of clothes, textile and container. The motor box '30' has internal component as one motor '70' with an eccentric wheel '80'attached to its rotating shaft '85', supported at the other end with a bearing '90'. The eccentric wheel rotates over another bearing '100' supported by the vertical shaft '40'. Vertical shaft is held by an arrangement of springs '110'. There is a bush '1120' between motor box '30 and the vertical shaft '40'. When the motor '70' is rotated the vertical shaft '40' will vibrate. The motor box '30' will have a regulator with switch '130' to regulate the vibration and suitable cable with socket '140' for incoming power to the motor. However the vibration can be changed with changing the type of eccentric wheel '80' and the regulator '130'. The motor will be of suitable voltage and suitable current as required from place to place. Hand held machines would have handle '150' instead of clamp arrangement. CLAIMS : I claim : 1.
