ABSTRACT:
Two embodiments of an assembly for directing a fluid, such as a combination of air and a liquid, toward a vehicle headlamp for cleaning the headlamp surface. A support member is adapted at a first end to be connected to a vehicle body adjacent a headlamp and extends to a forward end which supports a nozzle guide or cage member. The assembly includes an elbow member having a fluid inlet and support flanges for receiving retaining fasteners. A supply tube is connected to the inlet of the elbow. The elbow member has an outlet which extends transversely of the inlet and a flailing flexible tube is connected to the outlet and has a loop integral therewith extending about the elbow member for retaining the flailing tube thereon. The cage member has a terminal end defining an opening and is of generally funnel shape for restricting the flailing movement of the emitting end of the flailing tube. In the second embodiment a cover is disposed over the cage member. The cage members have walls defining a throat surrounding the flailing tube with generally parallel walls below the throat and diverging walls above the throat. The diverging walls are generally V-shaped in cross section adjacent the opening of the cage member and the diverging walls are interconnected by generally parallel connecting walls. Such a cage member configuration results in very effective flailing movement of the flailing tube.
