ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a vehicle washing device and more particularly pertains to easily cleaning all parts of a vehicle without extensive physical exertion with a vehicle washing device.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of washing brushes is known in the prior art. More specifically, washing brushes heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of cleaning objects such as cars are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,988,228 to Yeh discloses a brush with extendible and retractable bristle elements.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,673,307 to Prestele et al. discloses a washing brush with adjustable head.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,614,449 to Korfgen et al. discloses a water-dispensing cleaning brush with deflecting means.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,374,444 to Zhadanov discloses a water driven brush for cars and the like.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,500,488 to Grant discloses a car wash brush.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,727,841 to Hengesbach discloses a multiple jet fluid sprinkling, spraying and diffusing device.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,314,671 to Briar discloses a pressure jet spray apparatus.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,675,851 to Merfeld et. al. discloses a high pressure washer with detergent on-off nozzle.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,899,940 to Leaver discloses a spray washing device for motor vehicles and the like.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,989,391 to Thorner discloses a car-wash device.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a vehicle washing device for easily cleaning all parts of a vehicle without extensive physical exertion.
In this respect, the vehicle washing device according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of easily cleaning all parts of a vehicle without extensive physical exertion.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for new and improved vehicle washing device which can be used for easily cleaning all parts of a vehicle without extensive physical exertion. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In the view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of washing brushes now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved vehicle washing device. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved vehicle washing device and method which has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a hollow first section having an open first end, a closed second end, and an intermediate extent therebetween. The open first end is internally threaded. The closed second end has a downwardly facing brush theresecured. The intermediate extent has a plurality internally threaded openings formed linearly therein. The device contains a plurality of downwardly facing jet sprays. Each of the jet sprays has an externally threaded end portion. The externally threaded end portion couples with the plurality internally threaded openings formed in the intermediate extent of the first section. The device contains a hollow second section having an open first end, an open second end, and an intermediate extent therebetween. The open first end is externally threaded. The externally threaded open first end is removably coupling with the internally threaded open first end of the hollow first section. The open second is externally threaded. The intermediate extent has a downwardly extending handle secured thereto, the first and second sections being linear and co-axial over their entire lengths. The device contains a Y-shaped connector having an internally threaded open first end, an internally threaded open second end, and an internally threaded open third end. The internally threaded open first end couples with the externally threaded open second end of the second section. The open second end has an on/off valve secured therein. The open third end has an on/off valve secured therein. The open second end is adapted to be secured to an externally threaded water hose with the on/off valve selectively allowing water therethrough. The device contains a soap container having an externally threaded open extension integral therewith. The externally threaded open extension couples with the internally threaded open third end of the Y-shaped connector. The soap container holds liquid soap therein.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved vehicle washing device which has all the advantages of the prior art washing brushes and none of the disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved vehicle washing device which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved vehicle washing device which is of durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved vehicle washing device which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such a vehicle washing device economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved vehicle washing device which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Even still another object of the present invention is to provi
