An accessory tray for a pressure washer. The accessory tray of some embodiments has an accessory supporting portion for supporting and/or storing accessories of the pressure washer. The accessory supporting portion has a concave surface, which allows the accessories to be supported substantially normal to the ground regardless of the relative angle between the accessory tray and the ground. Some embodiments also have a flexible cantilevered member positioned above a portion of the accessory tray to trap an accessory against the accessory tray. Some embodiments can have a hose hook that supports and stores a hose of the pressure washer. The hose hook has a concave shape to allow the hose to be supported substantially normal to the ground.
1 A pressure washer comprising:
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the hose hook surface has a width defined as the overall extent of the hose hook surface in a direction from a first end of the accessory tray to a second end of the accessory tray, the width decreases as the hose hook surface extends away from the main body portion.
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the accessory tray includes a pair of recesses extending into the main body portion, and wherein one recess of the pair of recesses is positioned on each side of the hose hook portion.
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the first axis extends substantially normal to the frame members.
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the accessory tray includes a first end configured to be coupled to one of the two frame members and a second end configured to be coupled to the other of the two frame members.
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the accessory tray also includes an accessory supporting portion, and wherein the hose hook portion is positioned opposite the accessory supporting portion.
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the hose hook portion is configured to support the hose in a substantially normal orientation relative to the support surface for angles of inclination of the frame relative to the support surface of between zero degrees and ninety degrees.
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the accessory tray further includes an accessory supporting portion having at least one aperture for receiving an accessory of the pressure washer, and wherein the accessory tray further includes a flexible cantilevered member configured to retain a second accessory against the accessory supporting portion of the accessory tray.
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the accessory tray further includes an accessory supporting portion including a concave surface having at least one aperture for receiving an accessory of the pressure washer, the concave surface supporting the accessory substantially normal to the support surface for varied angles of inclination of the accessory tray relative to the support surface.
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the accessory tray includes an accessory supporting portion having at least one aperture for receiving at least one of a pressure washer spray gun and a nozzle for the spray gun.
The pressure washer of claim 1, wherein the accessory tray includes an accessory supporting portion having a concave surface with respect to an axis that is both parallel to the accessory supporting portion and that is located on a side of the accessory supporting portion from which an accessory of the pressure washer is received.
