Fluid flow actuated tool
A fluid flow actuated tool including a housing, a tool and an actuating mechanism. The housing includes a housing interior. The housing interior receives a flow of fluid. The actuating mechanism includes a fluid wheel structure. The fluid wheel structure is connected to the tool. At least a portion of the fluid wheel structure is arranged in the flow of fluid for rotating the fluid wheel structure. The tool is actuated based on rotation of the fluid wheel structure.
Auto-adjusting vehicle pressure washer
A pressure washing system is disclosed for integration into a recreational vehicle or other large mobile vehicle. The wand of the system includes a rotating brush and one or more sensors to determine a distance from, pressure against, or orientation with respect to the vehicle. While a pump is supplying water to be output by the wand, the distance, pressure, orientation, or other sensor readings are continuously used to modify output characteristics of the wand, including the output water pressure and the speed of rotation of the brush. As a result, no more pressure is supplied by water or brush bristles than is necessary, avoiding overuse of water or damage to outer surfaces of the vehicle. Sensor readings may include one or more of a camera feed, sonar, lidar, pressure feedback, and accelerometer data. The system may also be responsive to a mobile app on a user's mobile computing device.
Vehicle Wheel Cleaning Apparatus
A vehicle wheel cleaning apparatus configured to provide cleaning of a vehicle wheel particularly the interior surfaces thereof. The vehicle wheel cleaning apparatus is operable to be coupled to a water source such as but not limited to a pressure wand. A clamping member is included to provide a sealable coupling to the water source. The clamping member has a first portion secured to the water source and a second portion secured to the apparatus. A rotational coupling is provided and is configured to allow rotational movement of a ball assembly. The ball assembly includes a stem member secured to the rotational coupling and a solid silicon ball. Formed in the ball is a channel wherein the channel has divergent portions that are directed to opposing sides of the ball so as to discharge water therefrom.
EXTENDABLE AND FLEXIBLE SNOW THROWING DEVICE
An extendable and flexible snow thrower includes a handle, an extendable section, and an end section. A power unit is also integrated into one of the components of the snow thrower. The power unit includes a rechargeable battery. The snow thrower also includes the handle which is composed of an ergonomic shape and material that aids in comfortable use. In addition, the expendable section is flexible for directional disposal of snow or ice. Furthermore, the end section includes a rotary brush with a heating element. Heat from the heating element is radiated through metallic protrusion(s) situated in between bristle(s). The radiated heat may aid in loosening the snow or ice from an operational surface. The loosened snow or ice is routed through the end section for disposal.
VEHICLE WASHER BRUSH PANEL WITH MOLD-INJECTED PARTIALLY EMBEDDED NODULES, CHANNEL WELL DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME
A vehicle washer brush panel and channel well device, and methods for manufacturing the same. The vehicle washer brush panel includes a contiguous section, elongated brush panel fingers, and partially embedded nodules. A method for manufacturing a vehicle washer brush panel includes creating a hole near an edge of a cloth brush panel, sandwiching the cloth brush panel between an upper section and a lower section of a die, aligning a mold cavity of the die with the hole, and mold-injecting an injection material through an injection orifice of the die so that the injection material fills the hole in the cloth brush panel and the mold cavity of the die. A vehicle washer channel well device includes an elongated well, a first flange, a second flange, a first elongated screw channel, and a second elongated screw channel. One or more vehicle washer channel well devices are secured to a frame.
AUTO-ADJUSTING VEHICLE PRESSURE WASHER
A pressure washing system is disclosed for integration into a recreational vehicle or other large mobile vehicle. The wand of the system includes a rotating brush and one or more sensors to determine a distance from, pressure against, or orientation with respect to the vehicle.

The system may also be responsive to a mobile app on a user's mobile computing device.
ADHESIVE REMOVAL TOOL
An adhesive removal tool is provided. An adhesive removal tool for removing adhesive on painted and non-painted automotive parts comprising a bolt coupled through a center hole of rubber wheel via one or more fasteners. The bolt having a threaded portion below a head and meeting a shaft at a midpoint of the bolt and the rubber wheel having an upper lip and a lower lip surround the center hole, the upper lip and the lower lip are surrounded by a donut shaped ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, wherein the head lies flush on the upper lip and the one or more fasteners lie flush against the lower lip when fastened to the threaded portion.
Devices for rim and tire cleaning
A portable device is provided for cleaning vehicle rims. The device includes a connector having a first portion connected to a removable roller. A wheel base element is connected to a second portion of the connector. A handle is connected to an end of the wheel base portion. The removable roller includes multiple cleaning elements. Another device provides a frame for cleaning vehicle fender wells. A retractable frame is connected to a handle, a brush guide, a multiple guides, a leg guide, multiple ball guides, multiple swivel legs and a rest plate. A well brush is connected to the retractable frame and rotates on the frame.
Mobile trailer-cleaning system
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.
DEVICES FOR RIM AND TIRE CLEANING
A device and system for cleaning wheels and tires includes a frame connected to multiple legs. A tube shaft is connected with the frame and includes a first end and a second end. A cleaning disc is removably connected to the second end of the tube shaft. A water hose connector is connected to the first end of the tube shaft. A handle is connected to the tube shaft.
