Vehicle washing machine

DETAILED DESCRIPTION My improved vehicle washing machine embodies a system, apparatus and devices which provide an improved efficiency of operation and performance in providing the desired end result of cleansing the surface of a vehicle.
My invention provides for the successive use of suitably conditioned water for a high pressure washing operation, for a brushed washing operation of the wheels and tires of a vehicle and then for a pre-rinse to enhance the later-performed high pressure washing phase of operation of the machine.
This feature is accomplished by the use of the washing fluid running down the side of a vehicle from the top and side nozzles onto the wheel brushes and into a sump disposed underneath a washing station.
My invention further provides an improved high pressure washing operation through control of the disposition of high pressure nozzles in a variably spaced relationship with respect to the surface of the vehicle to be cleaned so that certain areas that are typically intensively coated with an accumulation of dirt, bugs and the like are afforded a higher degree of force and concentration of the washing fluid under high pressure.
My invention also provides uncomplicated and efficient mechanism for the application of the washing fluid under high pressure to vehicles of various shapes and sizes.
The elimination of water seals; the use of a lightweight movable broom; spray manifold and wheels together with a lifting effect provided by the high pressure spray nozzles and the use of the high pressure hose to aid in operation of the washing apparatus contribute to such efficient and uncomplicated mechanism and result in lower maintenance expenses.
Other objects and advantages of my invention will become apparent from a consideration of the appended specification, claims and drawings.
