ABSTRACT:
A combination tool for use in vehicle washing is disclosed in two embodiments. The tool combines a foaming brush wherein water (or water plus detergent) is cascaded from the brush base through its bristles and a cleaning wand wherein a narrow stream of high pressure water is emitted from a terminal nozzle. The tool provides for the brush housing to fit about the wand and be positioned at a distance from the wand's nozzle end when the combination is used as a wand but allow the wand to be drawn into the brush housing to be seated at the base of the brush so its output also serve to supply liquid to the brush. In both embodiments mechanical bias in the form of a helical compression spring positioned in the housing and about the wand keep the housing away from the wand end or alternatively latched in place at the base of the brush and a baffle is provided to convert the high pressure stream to a flow.
In the first embodiment two wand paths, forming a V, are provided in the housing with modal conversion being achieved by drawing the wand rearward in the housing against the compression spring and pivoting it between the paths. In the second embodiment one path is provided and conversion is provided by sliding a baffle down across the nozzle end of the wand after it is down inside the housing.
