ABSTRACT:
A vehicle washing apparatus is provided which includes an inverted U-shaped structure consisting of two vertical beams connected by a header beam and including a horizontal beam extending between the vertical beams. The vertical and horizontal beams are provided with internal passageways or hoses for the transmission of a washing fluid which is projected out of the beams by ways of nozzles. The nozzles in the vertical beams are such that water is projected from one beam towards the other beam and an arrangement of nozzles is provided in the horizontal beam so that the washing fluid can be projected in opposite horizontal directions therefrom as well as downwardly. Tracks are provided along which the U-shaped structure is displaced for projecting washing fluid along the longitudinal extent of the vehicle. A control is provided whereby the horizontal beam can be displaced upwardly and downwardly according to the vertical beams so that the horizontal beam can be located relative to the profile of the vehicle as the vertical beams are displaced therealong. A control box including a computer is provided to operate as a control by means of which a washing liquid such as water can be mixed with a detergent or the like. There are also controls for displacing the vertical and horizontal beams. A series of connected links are provided by means of which fluid can be conveyed to the horizontal beam taking into account the vertical displacement of the same.
