Fluid delivery system for a vehicle wash system
A vehicle wash system includes a vehicle treatment component located adjacent a vehicle treatment area for treating a vehicle exterior. The system includes at least one fluid delivery nozzle associated with the vehicle treatment component. The fluid delivery nozzle is in communication with a source of fluid and includes a first state of operation with a first flow rate and a second state of operation with a second flow rate. The first and second flow rates are different. The system allows the fluid flow through the fluid delivery nozzle to be selectively varied while a vehicle is disposed in the vehicle treatment area adjacent the vehicle treatment component.
Vehicle wash system having a vertically operated top brush with a scissor support mechanism
A vehicle washing system includes a frame disposed above a vehicle treatment area, and an extendable and retractable scissor mechanism coupled to the frame. A rotatable top brush is coupled to a bottom end of the scissor mechanism, and the scissor mechanism is extendable downward to lower the top brush into engagement with a vehicle body and retractable upward to remove the brush from engagement with the vehicle body. The scissor mechanism may include a brush support flange coupled to a bottom end of the scissor mechanism. An anti-spin member may extend from the support member to the scissor mechanism to prevent bending of the scissor mechanism in response to rotating to the top brush. The anti-spin member may be in the form of a fork that slidably engages a protrusion of the scissor mechanism.
Rotating electric toothbrush
The present invention relates to a rotating electric toothbrush comprising: a main body having a receiving space formed therein, a driving means received in the interior of the main body and providing a rotational force, a toothbrush handle having one end detachably coupled to the driving means, and receiving a rotational force of the driving means to be rotated, a support means coupled to the outer peripheral surface of the other end of the toothbrush handle and having plate-shaped support bodies made of a ductile material and radially formed to be spaced apart from each other, and a plurality of toothbrush bristles implanted between the support bodies. The present invention has a structure in which the toothbrush bristles are radially implanted on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the cylindrical rotating toothbrush handle, thereby removing food leftovers sandwiched on a tooth surface or at an interdental gap without damage of gums, and more surely removing dental plaque from the tooth surface due to silicon bristles implanted between the toothbrush bristles. Further, the silicon bristles implanted between the toothbrush bristles support the toothbrush bristles, thereby preventing deformation of the toothbrush bristles, and a space for receiving toothpaste is formed between the silicon bristles, thereby preventing the toothpaste from easily slipping off. Further, a tongue cleaner, which is detachable and made of a silicon material, is further comprised, thereby easily cleaning a tongue.
BRUSH ASSEMBLIES PRINCIPALLY FOR AUTOMATIC SWIMMING POOL CLEANERS
Brushes for robotic or other automatic swimming pool cleaners may include circumferentially-spaced blades extending radially from cylindrical cores. The blades beneficially are not longitudinally continuous, however. Instead, some or all of the blades are discontinuous along the lengths of the cores, creating fluid-flow paths tending to reduce the pump blade effect when the cleaners are operating.
ELECTRIC PET HAIR BRUSH
The present invention discloses an electric pet hair brush. The electric pet hair brush. comprises a shell, a roller, a control module and a power module. The shell has an accommodation space. The control module and the power module are electrically connected and are accommodated in the accommodation space. The roller is arranged at the front end of the shelf and is connected with the power module. The roller can be driven by the power module to rotate. The roller comprises a roller main body and multiple comb assemblies. The power module drives the roller main body to rotate, and the multiple comb assemblies can alternatively and circularly extend from the roller main body or retract into an accommodation space of the roller main body with the rotation of the roller main body.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATING A VEHICLE SURFACE WITH A FLUID
An apparatus for treating a vehicle surface with a fluid has a rotation device pivotably mounted about an axis of rotation, and a fluid supply device disposed concentrically with respect to the rotation device and which has an inlet opening for the supply of fluid. The apparatus is characterized in that a groove is formed in the fluid supply device. The groove is fluidically connected to the inlet opening and extends in the circumferential direction with respect to the axis of rotation over a limited circumferential angle range of the fluid supply device. The rotation device has a plurality of separate fluid channels, each of which opens into openings. The openings are disposed such that irrespective of the angular position of the rotation device to the fluid supply device with respect to the axis of rotation, and at least one of the openings of the rotation device is fluidically connected to the groove of the fluid supply device.
BRUSH RETROFIT FOR A SNOW REMOVAL VEHICLE
A brush retrofit for mounting behind a snow plow blade of a snow removal vehicle includes a base frame, a stationary brush assembly movably mounted to the base frame, a retrofit mount configured to secure the base frame to a support structure of the snow removal vehicle behind the snow plow blade, a brush elevation actuator that when activated moves the stationary brush assembly relative to the base frame between a raised storage position and a lowered in-use position, and a retrofit mount configured to secure the base frame to a support structure of the snow removal vehicle behind the snow plow blade.
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.
Rotary brush main part and rotary brush
A rotary brush for processing the surface of a vehicle includes a rotary brush main part and a plurality of fill material holders that are arranged on an outer lateral surface of the rotary brush main part spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction thereof. Each fill material holder can be secured to the rotary brush main part in a plurality of stop positions spaced apart in the radial direction of the rotary brush main part.
Cassette brush, a vehicle provided therewith and a method of producing a cassette element for a cassette brush
A brush (1) intended for industrial use comprises one or more bristle bunches formed by a plurality of elongated bristles, one or more cassette elements having said bristle bunches, and a cassette element holding member (3) at which said cassette elements may be removably secured. At least one of said cassette elements comprises a body, one or more recesses configured to receive said bristle bunches therein, and a securing wire configured to secure said bristle bunches in said recesses. Said at least one cassette element further comprises means configured to counteract movement of the bristles of a bristle bunch with respect to each other and/or with respect to the securing wire.
