Abstract
A portable cleaning device for automotive parts. The device contains an asbestos residue compartment and an extendable/retractable catch basin for movement to the desired distance from the work piece. A transparent shield separates the user from the work piece, the shield has corner magnets at one end for attachment to the car wheel well. A hand held cleaning implement, out of which a cleaning fluid is pumped at low pressure, is used to clean the work piece. Magnets centrally located on the shield may be used to secure the shield to the catch basin.
Claims7
A device for cleaning brake drums and clutches and storing residue asbestos from said cleaning comprising:
- a catch basin moveable between an extended and retracted position;
- a container, communicating with said catch basin through a conduit, one end of said conduit secured to and opening into said latch basin, the other end of said conduit disposed within the container;
- a hose, one end of which is secured to a pump, the other end of said hose adapted to receive a cleaning implement.
- pump means for drawing liquid from the container through a pipe within the container, a predetermined distance from the bottom of said container, and dispensing the liquid through the hose and out of the end adapted to receive the cleaning implement;
- a moveable stand adapted to receive said cleaning device;
- a transparent shield capable of extension and retraction, one end of said shield secured to the stand the other free end of the shield having at least one magnet therein for securing said free end to the workpiece whereby the user is shielded from the workpiece and cleaning device, the secured end of the shield being attached to a take up roller;
- a least two vertical compartments within the shield and located toward the center of said shield each compartment containing a basin magnet for securing the shield to the catch basin;
- and
- an apron on the side of the shield adapted to face the work piece, said apron secured along one end to the shield the other end of said apron being free for insertion into the basin.
A device for cleaning brake drums and clutches and storing residue asbestos from said cleaning comprising:
- a catch basin moveable between an extended and retracted position;
- a container, communicating with said catch basin through a conduit, one end of said conduit secured to and opening into said latch basin, the other end of said conduit disposed within the container;
- means for closing the conduit communicating between the container and catch basin closing the exit from said basin whereby the basin holds fluid
- such that the extended movement of the basin will submerge a portion of the drum in the fluid;
- a hose, one end of which is secured to a pump, the other end of said hose adapted to receive a cleaning implement;
- and
- pump means for drawing liquid from the container through a pipe within the container, a predetermined distance from the bottom of said container, and dispensing a liquid through the hose and out of the end adapted to receive the cleaning implement.
