Abstract
A vehicle washing assembly holds a hose used for washing a vehicle away from the vehicle to minimize scratching and make it easier to manipulate the hose. The vehicle washing assembly employs an anchor suction cup attached to a vehicle's window to be cleaned. A connection body connects to the anchor suction cup, which fluidically connects a lower hose to an upper conduit that extends well above the vehicle roof. A stabilizing bar is also attached to the anchor suction cup and extends upward. A clamp attaches the upper conduit to the stabilizing bar stabilizing the upper conduit. A second hose is connected to the upper end of the upper conduit that is used to wash the vehicle. The upper conduit keeps the hose well away from the vehicle and allows it to move freely around the vehicle.
Claims20
A vehicle washing assembly for aiding in washing a vehicle, comprising:
- a) a first suction cup adapted to removably attach to a window of the vehicle,
- b) a connection body, wherein the connection body is operatively connected to the first suction cup, and wherein the connection body further comprises;
- i) a central conduit having a first and second end,
- ii) a lower attachment fluidically connected to a first end of the central conduit and the connection body such that the lower attachment is operatively connected to the first suction cup, and
- iii) an upper attachment fluidically connected to a second end of the central conduit;
- c) a stabilizing assembly having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the stabilizing assembly is operatively connected to the connection body and the first suction cup;
- d) an upper conduit having a central opening and first and second ends, wherein the first end of the upper conduit is operatively connected to the stabilizing assembly and extends vertically above the vehicle;
- e) a second suction cup, wherein the second suction cup is operatively connected to the stabilizing assembly and the window of the vehicle;
- f) a first hose operatively connected to the lower attachment;
- g) a second hose having a first and second end, wherein the first end of the second hose is operatively connected to second end of the upper conduit such that the upper conduit holds the second hose away from the vehicle to allow easy management of the second hose;
- and
- h) a nozzle operatively connected to the second end of the second hose.
