Abstract
The motion wheel washer automatically washes the front wheels of a vehicle while the wheel is in motion. In one embodiment, the position of the front wheels and the vehicle speed is sensed. When the wheels are turned to the right or left at low speed, a nozzle residing inside the lip of the fender, in front of the wheel, directs a spray of a washing fluid against the outer surface of the wheel. When the wheels are turned the opposite direction, a spray is directed against the outer surface of the opposite wheel. In a second embodiment, a telescoping arm residing within the wheel well above the wheel, deploys to position a nozzle to spray the washing fluid against either wheel.
Claims23
A motion wheel washing system comprising:
- a first reservoir adapted to contain a first fluid;
- a first pump;
- and
- a first nozzle adapted to reside proximal to a wheel;
- wherein the first pump is adapted to move the first fluid from the first reservoir to the first nozzle, and wherein the first nozzle is adapted to direct a spray of the first fluid toward the wheel.
A method for washing brake dust off a wheel, comprising:
- attaching a nozzle to the vehicle, wherein the nozzle is aimed toward a wheel of the vehicle;
- providing a fluid to the nozzle;
- and
- spraying the fluid against the wheel.
A motion wheel washing system for washing the front wheels of a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one reservoir;
- at least one fluid;
- at least one pump adapted to pump one of the at least one fluid from one of the at least one reservoir;
- at least one nozzle adapted to spray one of the at least one fluid from one of the at least one pump, wherein the nozzle is adapted to be attached to a vehicle whereby the nozzle is pointed toward an outside surface of a proximal front wheel of the vehicle
