Snow removal device for an automobile
A snow removal device for an automobile including a rectangular flexible sheet and each of a front seam and a back seam disposed within the rectangular flexible sheet. Each of a front cord and a back cord of a pair of cords is continuously disposed through an entirety of each of the front seam and the back seam, respectively. Each of a plurality of stitchings permanently affixes one of the pair of cords to the rectangular flexible sheet. Each of a right handle and a left handle of a pair of rigid handles is attached to the pair of cords. One of the pair of handles is configured to be held by one of a pair of users in order to allow the pair of users to brush snow off the automobile using the rectangular flexible sheet.
MOTORCYCLE CLEANING TOWEL
A towel for washing a motorcycle includes an upper portion configured to overlie at least a portion of the motorcycle windshield and a lower portion configured to overlie at least a portion of the motorcycle fairing. An upper pocket of the upper portion is configured to receive the top of the motorcycle windshield, a left side pocket of the lower portion is configured to receive a left side portion of the motorcycle fairing, and a right side pocket of the lower portion is configured to receive the right side portion of the motorcycle fairing. The towel may be soaked in a cleaning fluid and is configured such that it can be positioned on the windshield and fairing and will remain there without any intervention required by a user. The user may therefore leave the towel unattended to soak on the windshield and fairing, thereby allowing sufficient time for the cleaning solution to soften debris on the windshield and fairing to make it easier to remove the debris.
MAGNETIZED SNOW REMOVAL BRUSH DEVICE
A magnetized snow removal brush device for removably attaching to an exterior of a vehicle includes an ice scraper facilitating removal of ice from a window of a vehicle. The ice scraper has a top side, a bottom side, a scraper edge, and a pair of side edges. A brush is coupled to the bottom side of the ice scraper and a base is coupled to the side edges of the ice scraper. A tube encloses an interior space and is coupled to the base. A handle is coupled to the tube. A closing fastener and an opening fastener are positioned within the interior space of the tube and releasably fasten the handle in a closing position and an open position respectively. A magnet is coupled to the handle and secures the handle to the exterior of the vehicle assuming the exterior is metallic or is engaged by a magnet.
COWL LOUVER ASSEMBLY WITH MODULAR ICE SCRAPERS
A vehicular cowl louver assembly, a vehicular windshield assembly and a vehicle. A cowl louver that makes up a portion of the vehicular cowl louver assembly has one or more recesses formed in an upper-facing surface with which to provide storage of an ice scraper. A resiliently-biased clip allows the ice scraper to be selectively removable from the cowl louver to enable a person to scrape ice, snow or other debris from a vehicular windshield. The ice scraper may be returned to the recess after use, where the clip keeps the two secured to one another, even during vehicular movement. In one form, the surface of the ice scraper may be made to form a substantially flush, continuous fit with the portion of the surface of the cowl louver that is adjacent the recess to improve aerodynamic and aesthetic features of the cowl louver assembly.
TOWEL WITH INTERGRATED CLEANING AGENT
A towel with an integrated cleaning agent includes a towel body having a pocket that is interposed between a front surface, a rear surface, a pair of opposing side edges, a bottom edge and a top edge. A cleaning agent having a porous fabric body is positioned within the pocket of the towel body. The cleaning agent includes a cleaning solution that is incrementally released through the porous body and the towel body when activated by water. The towel body is constructed from any combination of smooth and textured materials, and includes an opening that is in communication with the pocket for receiving and positioning the cleaning agent therein.
Wheel brush and lug nut cleaner
A wheel and lug nut cleaning device providing a single tool for cleaning behind and between spokes of a wheel rim, the lug nuts, and rim cavities theraround by including a handle having a rear portion with a lug nut and rim cavity-cleaning body thereon and a releasable front portion pivotably disposed on the rear portion and having brush head thereon. A knuckle guard is disposed on the front portion. The brush head has a non-abrasive shaft and bristles including convex first and second bristle sets forwardly and rearwardly extending therefrom to facilitate cleaning crevices, corners, and concave surfaces of the wheel and behind the spoke edges, respectively. Flexible cleaning flanges, preferably covered with a soft microfiber, extend from a central base of the lug nut and rim cavity-cleaning body to fit into and rotate to clean around the wheel lug nuts and the walls of the wheel rim simultaneously.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
An unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, comprises (i) a camera having a field of vision including, in use, a portion of a vehicle to be cleaned, (ii) a liquid container comprising waterless carwash liquid, (iii) a liquid dispenser operable to cause the waterless carwash liquid comprised in the liquid container to be dispensed from the liquid container, (iv) a cleaning implement, and (v) a controller communicatively coupled to the camera, the liquid dispenser and the cleaning implement. The controller is operable (a) to cause the liquid dispenser to dispense the waterless carwash liquid from the liquid container onto the portion of the vehicle to be cleaned and (b) to control the cleaning implement to clean the portion of the vehicle to be cleaned.
Towelette with Wiping Element
A towelette with wiping element for cleaning small targeted areas on the exterior surface of a vehicle. More specifically, the device is used to scrape congealed filth off of the exterior of a vehicle. The towelette includes a flexible absorbent cloth-like material with at least one wiping element attached along the edges or corners of the planar towelette. Additionally, the absorbent cloth-like material is designed to receive a cleaning solution to aid in the cleaning process.
Method and system for automobile cleaning
A 5-step system of washing a vehicle that will yield substantially contamination-free surfaces. To yield the desired results, each step uses a product formulation that incorporates matching color-coordinated wash buckets and microfiber wash mitts to prevent cross-contamination or neutralization of chemicals, which could render them less effective and jeopardize our ability to achieve optimum results. Each step incorporates a formula that attacks and eliminates a specific range of soil types, such as: Hydrocarbon film, grease, brake dust, hard water mineral deposits, bug and tar residue, tree sap, dried paint overspray, etc.
WHEEL AND LUG NUT CLEANING DEVICE
A wheel and lug nut cleaning device that includes a static central spine defining a front portion and a rear portion, a shape-retaining core encircling the front and rear portions, and a sheath removably coupled to and encircling the core spanning from the rear portion of the static central spine to the distal end of the static central spine, wherein the sheath has a plurality of spaced-part microfiber flanges continuously spanning from the rear portion of the static central spine to the distal end of the static central spine and each extending in a direction outwardly away from an outer surface of the sheath and the core and having a rounded external end, wherein the spine, core and sheath are operably configured to bend in a position to dispose and orient the front portion in a shape-retaining angle relative to the rear portion.
