Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/559,399, filed Apr. 2, 2004.
- (1) Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a water storage assembly to be mounted on the top of a vehicle, and in particular to a vehicular-mounted storage tank for providing water in isolated locations for showering, washing and other purposes.
- (2) Description of the Prior Art
- Many outdoor activities involve the use of a vehicle, and in particular a vehicle designed for off-road use, such as a Jeep or SUV, as part of the activity or as the means of transportations to carry the participants to the recreational site. In many such activities, the individuals often get sweaty and dirty. Their equipment, e.g., surf boards, bicycles, trail bikes and the like, may get dirty as well.
- In many circumstances, there is no readily available source of fresh, clean water to enable the individuals to wash themselves and their equipment, necessitating a return to more civilized areas while dirty and sweaty, and often depositing dirt from their equipment into the vehicle. A means of avoiding this problem would be greatly appreciated by many individuals who engage in such activities.
- Generally the present invention addresses this need by providing a water storage assembly that is suitable for mounting on the roof of a vehicle, in particular 4-wheel drive and off-road vehicles that are used in areas where water outlets are not readily available. The essential components of the assembly are a water storage tank particularly adapted for mounting on the roof of a vehicle that is to be used under off-road conditions. The tank includes an inlet adjacent its upper surface, e.g., an opening with a screw-on cover, for use in filling the tank with water, an outlet adjacent the lower surface of the tank for discharging water, and a means for mounting the tank on the vehicle roof. Preferably, the device also includes a hose with a showerhead or discharge nozzle at its distal end, along with means for securing the hose to the tank when the hose is not in use. A pump may be used to discharge the water under pressure, and an accessory mounting means or carrier may be included for the purpose of carrying items such as bicycles and surfboards on the top of the tank.
- Generally, the tank is mounted on a vehicle having a rectangular roof with parallel side edges and parallel ends joining the ends of the side edges. The water storage tank is of a rigid structure to withstand the rigors of off-road use, and is designed so that the center of the vehicle roof is not covered by the tank, thereby enabling use of the roof for other uses, the opening of a sun roof, or even mounting of the tank on the upper surface of a rectangular framework, herein considered a “roof”, when the vehicle, e.g., a Jeep, is used with the top down. Since one of the advantages of the present apparatus is to provide water that is warmed by the sun heating the surface of the preferably dark colored tank, the present configuration also provides a greater surface area, improving heat transfer.
- For best availability in use, the tank includes at least one section adjacent an edge, e.g., a side edge or an end edge, of the vehicle roof. Preferably, the tank is comprised of two tank sections mountable adjacent the side edges of the vehicle roof, and at least one end section adjacent an end edge of the vehicle roof, with the sections being joined with communicating chambers. In the preferred embodiment, the storage tank is in the shape of a rectangular tube with outer dimensions conforming to outer dimensions of the vehicle roof, leaving an open interior so that the center of the roof is exposed. The tank includes an inlet on its top surface for addition of water to the storage tank. Generally, the inlet will include a removable, screw-on filler cap. The storage tank will also include an outlet terminating in a valve-operated faucet for discharge of water from the tank. The outlet will be located adjacent the bottom surface of the tank to facilitate gravity feed.
- To aid in use for such purposes as showering or washing of items such as surfboards, a hose may be attached to the faucet, and a showerhead, a valved spray nozzle or other accessory may be attached to the distal end of the hose. The hose may remain attached to the faucet, with a clip or other attachment means being provided on the wall of the storage tank to secure the hose when not in use.
- Instead of dispensing water from the tank with only gravity feed, a pump can be positioned between the tank discharge opening and the control valve or faucet to discharge the water under pressure, e.g., approximating the pressure experienced with a home shower or garden hose. The pump preferably includes an electric motor, which can be powered from the vehicle electrical system or other battery source, e.g., a 12V power source.
- Items such as bicycles and surfboards are frequently transported on storage racks mounted on vehicles, and in particular on the roofs of off-road vehicles. The storage device of the present invention further includes a storage rack mounted on the top of the storage tank that is suitable for this purpose. The exact configuration of the storage rack will depend on the items to be transported. Generally, however, the rack will include an attachment means on its lower surface for use in attaching the rack to the upper surface of the storage tank, and an upper surface configured to receive the item or items to be transported.
