Abstract
An adjustable spray apparatus and method for attachment to a high pressure liquid source, such as a car wash wand, comprising a flexible hose, the spray end of which is directionally adjustable by flexing and straightening the hose through the use of a tensile connector attached at the end thereof. Preferably the hose is mounted inside a housing to assist in attaching it to a high pressure source and a sleeve slidable about the housing aids in adjusting the tensile connector.
Claims12
Adjustable spray apparatus comprising:
- a flexible hose having a source end adapted for connection to a source of pressurized liquid and having a nozzle end adapted for connection to a spray nozzle for dispensing the pressurized liquid, the hose having a normally substantially linearly extending straight position and one or more flexed positions;
- a tensile connector attached to the nozzle end of the hose and extend from the nozzle end to a position adjacent the source end when the hose is in its straight position;
- and
- means for adjusting the tensile connector so as to alternately draw the nozzle end towards or away from the source end for flexing the hose to at least one of the one or more flexed positions or the normally straight position.
A method for adjusting the spray angle of a spray cleaning device, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a flexible hose having a source end adapted for connection to a source of pressurized liquid and having a nozzle end adapted for connection to a spray nozzle for dispensing the pressurized liquid, the hose having a normally substantially linearly extending straight position and one or more flexed positions;
- providing a tensile connector extending from the nozzle end to a position adjacent the source end when the hose is in its straight position;
- and
- adjusting the tensile connector so as to alternately draw the nozzle end towards or away from the source end for flexing the hose to at least one of the one or more flexed positions or the normally straight position.
