ABSTRACT:
A fluid squeegee comprises nozzles in the squeegee head for spraying a fluid, such as water, onto a surface to be cleaned and a squeegee blade on the squeegee head for clearing away the fluid from the surface. A molded unit for the squeegee head includes a channel shaped mounting plate having a web portion between a lower flange portion and an upper flange portion. A squeegee blade is adapted to be mounted to the lower flange portion and nozzles are adapted to be mounted in the mounting plate or in a nozzle plate that is fixed over an aperture in the mounting plate. Hollow brace members and a hollow shaft socket are positioned on the intake side of the mounting plate. The hollow shaft socket includes discharge ports that are aligned with the hollow brace members, which extend radially away from the nozzle. The hollow brace members enclose the nozzles so as to create a sealed fluid passageway between the hollow shaft socket and the nozzles. The fluid squeegee further includes a hollow shaft and hollow handle, which are connected between a hose and the squeegee head such that fluids can be sprayed onto a surface to be cleaned via the nozzles. The hollow brace members are beneficial in that they provide additional structural support between the head and a hollow fluid shaft inserted into the socket.
