ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for stripping fluids from the surface of a vehicle (26) including a plurality of dimensionally stable and substantially rigid bags (12) including an inlet (14) for introducing air under pressure into the bag (12) and an elongated opening at one end of the bag (12) defining a nozzle end (16,16') of smaller cross sectional area than the inlet (14) for emitting a stream of air. A support structure including an air distributor (18) supports the bag (12) to extend toward the object (26) wherein the nozzle end (16,16') of the bag (12) lies in the path of motion of the object (26) to cause physical engagement between the nozzle end (16,16') of the bag (12) and the object (26) to bring the stream of air emitted from the nozzle opening into close spacial relationship with the surface of the object (26) to strip fluid from the object. A bellows member (36) operatively connects the bag (12) to the air distributor (18) at one end to provide flexible joints for allowing hinging movement of the bag (12) substantially along a single axis. The bags (12) are self supporting from the air distributor (18).
