ABSTRACT:
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 box-like support member is adapted at a first end to be connected to a vehicle body adjacent a headlamp and extends to a distal end to be positioned forwardly of the headlamp. The distal end of the box member includes a front wall with an aperture therein to define retaining flanges. An elbow member having a fluid inlet is disposed within the box member and has support flanges which overlap and engage the retaining flanges of the box-like member. A supply tube is connected to the inlet of the elbow and a coil spring is disposed about the supply tube and engaging the elbow member urging the elbow member forwardly. The elbow member has an outlet which extends upwardly and rearwardly from the inlet and a flailing flexible tube is connected to the outlet and has a loop integral therewith extending about the bottom of the elbow member for retaining the flailing tube thereon. A cover member is disposed about the elbow and the flailing tube and a pair of fasteners extend through the cover member to engage a clip disposed about the support flanges of the elbow member whereby the cover is connected to the elbow member and may move therewith by compressing the coil spring. The cover member has a front face which extends upwardly and rearwardly in the direction of a headlamp and the upper end of the cover member defines an opening of generally funnel shape for restricting the flailing movement of the emitting end of the flailing tube. Any one of various adapter plates having one of various configurations may be disposed between the box member and a vehicle body for accommodating the contour of a particular vehicle body to position the assembly so that the flailing tube will be aimed at an adjacent headlamp.
