A multi-textured, bag-shaped vehicle washing mitt that fits over and encloses the head and bristles of a common household broom or mop. The mitt has a soft textured side for use where a light touch is sufficient to remove loosely adhered dust and dirt, and it has a rough textured side to be used where a vigorous scrubbing action is required to dislodge stubbornly attached dirt and grime. For use, the broom head is inserted into the open end of the mitt, and it is secured in place by the elastic upper band portion of the mitt and by a drawstring closure at the open end of the mitt. The absorbent material of the mitt along with the broom bristles are capable of holding and dispensing the wash water. The broom/mitt combination can also be used with a pressurized water hose attached to the broom handle and feeding into the mitt.

There is described a scratch-free snow removal tool comprising a flexible blade presenting a sweeping surface extending in a plane. The flexible blade defines a blade edge which is continuous and can be made of silicone or TPE. The blade support is more rigid than the flexible blade. A plurality of fingers is provided, which are more rigid than the flexible blade and extend in the plane of the sweeping surface, from the blade support toward the blade edge without reaching the blade edge.

A wheel flange plane cleaning device, in which three second cylinders drive respective first pressure blocks to extend to contact the rim of a wheel, then stepped limit rings, second cylinders and first pressure blocks position and clamp the wheel in the centers of end face support plates, the output end of a first hydraulic cylinder drives a lifting plate, a servo motor and a brush plate to extend to the positions where a brush is in firm contact with the flange plane of the wheel, the output end of the servo motor drives the brush and the brush plate to rotate at a certain speed, the servo motor stops rotating after a period of time, and the three second cylinders drive the respective first pressure blocks to contract to the positions where the wheel can be freely pulled up.

The present invention discloses a roller-type wheel flange surface powder removing device, that includes a corresponding roller brush that is replaced according to the size of a wheel to be processed. A manipulator places the wheel at corresponding positions of limit discs, output ends of cylinders extend to drive pressure blocks to press the wheel, and a sliding seat and a mechanism thereon reciprocate along with a rack within the travel range of guide pillars. While a second motor starts working, a first motor drives a second gear to rotate, and a first gear transmits the rotation speed to the roller brush through a support shaft according to a certain transmission ratio. The roller brush is driven by a third gear 23 and a rack 24 while rotating with the support shaft. The roller brush reciprocates to clean the surface of the wheel.

A vehicle treatment brush is provided for washing and/or polishing purposes in a vehicle treatment installation, including a support part having a longitudinal extent and defining a pivotal axis, a plurality of brush segments arranged axially next to each other and each including cleaning elements, and a drive device, wherein at least one brush segment includes a pivoting device with a rotary body on which the cleaning elements of the brush segment are indirectly or directly held and which is in operative connection with the drive device for driving the rotary body about a rotational axis of the brush segment that is different from the pivotal axis.

A vehicle treatment brush for washing and/or polishing purposes in a vehicle treatment installation is provided, including a support part having a longitudinal extent and defining a pivotal axis, a plurality of brush segments arranged axially next to each other and each including cleaning elements, and a drive device, wherein at least one brush segment includes a pivoting device with a rotary body on which the cleaning elements of the brush segment are indirectly or directly held and which is in operative connection with the drive device for driving the rotary body about a rotational axis of the brush segment that is different from the pivotal axis, wherein the support part is non-driven and the rotary body is pivotable about the pivotal axis relative to the support part by way of the pivoting device. The present invention also relates to a vehicle treatment installation.

A cleaning tool and a system for cleaning an automotive component include the cleaning tool with a portable dispenser configured to receive a both a cleanser and a pressurized gas in a hollow interior section and a flexible conduit interconnecting the portable dispenser with a brush. The brush has a hollow handle with apertures and a porous cleaning portion. The cleanser is a humectant foaming cleanser. A cleanser removing tool is effective to remove dirt, brake dust and grease from the automotive component without a water rinse.

Disclosed is a wheel flange drainage channel cleaning device, comprising a frame, lifting cylinders, guide posts, a servo motor, a lifting platform, a bearing seat, a shaft, a bearing, a rotating platform, a sleeve and the like. Four clamping cylinders move synchronously to clamp a wheel, the lifting cylinders may control ascending and descending of the lifting platform, the servo motor may control rotation of the rotating platform, and when the linear motor drives the racks to reciprocate up and down, the brushes swing left and right, so that aluminum scraps blocked in drainage channels beside the central hole and outside the central hole are easily cleaned.

It comprises a housing (1) wherein a ring-shaped brush (2) and a central axis (3) to which a central brush (4) is joined are integrally fastened. The ring-shaped brush (2) delimits an inner space wherein the central brush (4) as well as other intermediate brushes (5) arranged around the central brush are housed. The head further comprises a front disc (6) with idler rotation; wherein said front disc (6) separates two opposing areas: a first area where the central brush as well as the intermediate brushes are, and a second area where a transmission mechanism is located that transmits a rotational movement to the intermediate brushes fastened to satellite axes (12) fitted in tubular junctions (6a) secured to the front disc. It enables the correct cleaning of the inner surface of the gaps in the rims of the wheels.

The tool has a folded position and an unfolded position. It will generally include a head assembly and an articulated handle. The handle can also be used alone. The handle, or the tool with such handle, occupies only a very compact space once in a fully folded position. It may thus be easily carried and stored when not in use. It can be folded and unfolded with only a minimal manipulative effort and level of difficulty. The main constituent parts cannot become detached and this unitary design alleviates the risks of parts being misplaced or lost.
