| 20100154843 | LIQUID APPLICATOR FOR CLEANING A VEHICLE - A liquid applicator for cleaning a vehicle includes a frame in the form of an arch extending over a path of the vehicle to be washed. Spray pipes are rotatably connected to the sides and top of the arch with the spray pipes being connected by flexible hoses which transmit oscillating rotary movement from one pipe to the other connected pipes. A motor is provided to transmit oscillating rotating movement to one of the spray pipes and cause all of the spray pipes to rotatingly oscillate. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100300323 | ROLLER ASSEMBLY CALL UP MECHANISM FOR A VEHICLE WASH CONVEYOR - A roller assembly call up mechanism for a vehicle wash conveyor having an endless chain with a plurality of spaced roller assemblies attached thereto for pushing a vehicle along a slotted track, is located below the track and includes a power cylinder, a crank arm connected to the power cylinder and an axle connected to the crank arm for rotation with the axle. A ramp in the form of a pair of spaced forks is connected to the axle for rotation therewith. A slotted link is pivotally connected at one end to the ramp and at an opposite end to the entrance trap door whereby when the power cylinder is actuated the ramp and the trap door are pivoted upwardly. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100326899 | Above ground water clarifier - An above ground water clarifier is described. The clarifier includes a spray system for receiving water from an external system and disposing the water onto a filter tray rack. A first recovery chamber is positioned below the filter tray rack for receiving filtered water that is gravity fed through the filter tray rack. A second recovery chamber is positioned adjacent to and fluidly connected with the first recovery chamber. The first and second recovery chambers are formed to filter out solids and/or oils before passing the water to a sump chamber and/or the sewer. The sump chamber includes a plurality of tiered pumps for pumping the water back to the external system. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110155175 | Waterfall tank system - A waterfall tank system is described for sheeting water onto a passing vehicle. The waterfall tank system includes a tank with a water supply inlet and a soap injector for injecting soap into the water flow to create a soap mix that is supplied to the tank. An air motor is included for providing air to an air manifold that is disposed within the tank. When air is introduced into the soap mix, bubbles are created. As the water, soap mix, and bubbles fill the tank, they fall from the tank via an overflow lip that creates a sheeting action, with the water, soap mix, and/or bubbles sheeting onto a vehicle passing below. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110236160 | CORRELATOR FOR INTRODUCING VEHICLE TIRES INTO A CONVEYER OF A VEHICLE WASHING SYSTEM - Described is a correlator for introducing vehicle tires into a conveyor of a vehicle washing system. The correlator includes a frame with two laterally and freely rotatable belts. A set of angled curb rails resides over one of the belts to direct the vehicle's tires into a set of guide rails. As a roller pushes the rear tire of the vehicle onto the belts, the angled curb rails provide a lateral force to the tires. Because the belts are free-rolling, they are capable of rotating to move the tire laterally and shift the position of the vehicle to align the vehicle with the conveyor. | 09-29-2011 |
