Abstract

885,104. Washing vehicles. LONDON GENERAL CAB CO. Ltd. Aug. 31, 1960 [Aug. 31, 1959], No. 29717/59. Class 138 (1). Apparatus for washing vehicles comprises a track 11 for guiding a vehicle beneath a brush 18 rotatable by a motor 25 about a horizontal axis for cleaning the vehicle roof, and thence between vertical brushes 14, 15 rotatable by motors 24 in frames 16 so biased as to urge the brushes against the vehicle sides, perforated pipes 20, 22 for applying washing liquid to the brushes, a conduit 26 having nozzles 27 for spraying washing liquid on the underneath surfaces of the vehicle, and a drying unit for supplying air under pressure to the vehicle surfaces. The latter comprises a fan within a housing 59 to discharge air through horizontal and vertical conduits 34, 35 having slotted outlets 36. Alternatively the brush 18, Fig. 4, is mounted in a frame 37 pivoted on a shaft 38 and carrying counterweights 39, so that the brush may be moved from a lower position, in which it cleans the vehicle bonnet, to an upper position for cleaning the vehicle roof. The upward and downward movements of the brush are effected by a pneumatic ram 40, the supply of compressed air to which is controlled by valves 41 to 44 operated by the engagement of the vehicle wheels with triggers 45 to 48. Specification 721,450 is referred to.
