A surface wiper device which includes a carrier which supports a blade. The carrier attaches to a wiper arm which urges the blade against and moves the blade across the surface of a windshield. The carrier further provides a plurality of outlets each of which communicate between a hollow passage inside the carrier and a location on the external surface of the carrier. A fluid can be delivered from a fluid source fluidicly coupled to the hollow passage of the carrier under sufficient pressure to be dispersed from the plurality of outlets onto the windshield during movement of the blade. A fluid heater can be thermally coupled with the fluid delivered from the fluid source to the plurality of outlets to increase the temperature of the fluid dispersed onto the windshield. The fluid can be sufficiently heated to generate a heated gas.

A powered tool may be improved by mounting a light thereto. Some examples of a powered tool include a polisher tool adapted to polish and/or buff a work surface. Other examples of a power tool include various rotary, orbital, reciprocating, or other types of handheld tools. In various examples, a bracket can secure a light to a polisher or buffer tool so that the work surface can be directly illuminated to improve the efficiency and comfort of the tool operator. The bracket can be repositioned on the hand tool to optimize light direction to enhance the effectiveness of the hand tool.

A pressure washer (10) includes a pump (12), a hose (14), a wand (16) and first and second nozzle configurations (18a, 18b). A control (30) is electrically coupled to an electric motor (20) for running the pump (12). The control (30) senses the level of electric current being drawn by the electric motor (20) during operation and, in response, automatically adjusts the level of electric current drawn by the electric motor (20) between at least a first level and a second, different level. This changes the rate of rotation of the motor output (20a) depending on whether the first nozzle configuration (18a) or the second nozzle configuration (18b) is coupled in fluid communication with the wand (16). An electronic display (40) is coupled to the control (30). The control (30) senses the output pressure from the pump (12) and provides an electronic indication to the user on the display (40) to show at least a relative pressure condition.

A method of cleaning an underside of wheeled outdoor equipment includes attaching a blower extension pipe assembly to a power blower and positioning the extension pipe across the ground and under the equipment to be cleaned. The blower extension pipe includes an elbow end fitting with a blow-off opening that is directed to the underside of the equipment. The blower is operated to direct air through the blower extension pipe and against the underlying surface of the equipment to remove debris therefrom.

A chassis foam sprayer comprises a bottom plate, a solvent pot and a flushing pipe arranged above the bottom plate, rollers arranged below the bottom plate, and an upper cover covering above the bottom plate, wherein one end of the flushing pipe is provided with a water inlet connector which can be externally connected with a high-pressure water gun, the other end of the flushing pipe is provided with at least one nozzle, and a connecting pipe is arranged between the solvent pot and the flushing pipe; the high-pressure water gun is fixedly connected with the water inlet connector by arranging the rollers on the bottom plate, and then the foam sprayer is pushed in at the position of the chassis of the automobile, so that the position can be conveniently moved, and all positions of the chassis can be conveniently cleaned; moreover, the solvent pot is equipped with car wash liquid, so that the chassis can be subjected to foam spraying first, and then washed with clean water for thorough cleaning.

A device to wash an underside of an automobile comprises a handle comprising a first end and a second end, wherein a fluid flow through the first end of the handle is regulated via a valve member, wherein the handle comprises a canister to store and dispense one or more detergents during the wash. A pipe section fixedly attached to and extending obliquely from the second end of the handle to couple with a horizontal member via an elbow section and the horizontal member comprising a spraying head positioned at a distal end of the horizontal member, wherein the spraying head comprises a plurality of nozzles to spray the fluid in the underside of the automobile during the wash. A method of washing an underside of an automobile using the device is also disclosed.

A spraying device for deicing vehicle windows includes a shell that defines an interior space. The shell is configured to position a deicing solution, such as windshield washing fluid. A housing that defines an internal space is coupled to the shell. A power module and a pump are coupled to the housing and are positioned in the internal space. The pump is fluidically coupled to the interior space and is operationally coupled to the power module. A tube is fluidically coupled to the pump and extends from the shell. The tube is flexible. A nozzle is coupled to the tube distal from the shell. The pump is configured to motivate the deicing solution from the interior space through the tube. The nozzle is configured to spray the deicing solution on a target, such as a window of a vehicle, such that ice on the target is melted.

A liquid cleaning system rests on a surface having a non-porous material covering and a drain. A lower plate layer and an upper plate layer each have runners arranged in a grid. The lower plate layer rests upon the surface and the upper plate layer rests upon the lower plate layer offset at an angle with respect to the grid of the lower plate layer. An upper layer covers the upper plate layer and has a plurality of holes for the passage of fluids into the liquid cleaning system. As liquid enters the liquid cleaning system through the holes, the liquid traverses the grid of the lower plate layer and the grid of the upper plate layer flowing towards the drain, and contaminants within the liquid collect within the grid of the lower plate layer and the grid of the upper plate layer.

A mobile trailer-cleaning system is a system that facilitates the cleaning of the exterior surfaces of a trailer. The system may include at least one brush assembly, a roof carriage, an agitation mechanism, and a steering assembly. The at least one brush assembly enables the cleaning of all the trailer's exterior surfaces including the rear of the trailer and any non-flat surfaces. The roof carriage serves as a guide to maintain the at least one brush assembly adjacent to the trailer's walls as the at least one brush assembly moves along the trailer. The roof carriage also prevents the at least one brush assembly from tipping over. The agitation mechanism eases the cleaning of the trailer's exterior surfaces by agitating the at least one brush assembly in predetermined modes of operation. The steering assembly enables the user to manually operate the at least one brush assembly during the cleaning process.

System for washing a gas turbine engine. The system comprises a spray device including at least one nozzle adapted to inject liquid into an inlet of said engine during a washing operation; a wash unit adapted to distribute said liquid to said spray device; and a positioning device adapted to move said spray device in three dimensions, thereby enabling a positioning of said spray device in a washing operation position in said three dimensions relative said engine inlet without any contact between the spray device and the engine. The invention further relates to a vehicle for making the inventive system mobile and to a mobile system for serving a gas turbine engine comprising a mobile vehicle carrying the washing system and a liquid collecting unit comprising a collecting device adapted to collect waste wash liquid emanating from the engine during a washing operation of the engine.
