Abstract
A waterpower pressure washer (16) comprising an elongated tapered barrel (18). A hollow cylindrical body (20) is integral with and fluidly connected at a slight angle to the elongated tapered barrel (18). A structure (22) is for coupling the hollow cylindrical body (20) to a source of pressurized water. The pressurized water can travel through the hollow cylindrical body (20) and the elongated tapered barrel (18). A nozzle (24) is at a distal end of the elongated tapered barrel (18). The pressurized water can be sprayed from the nozzle (24) to clean a surface of an object (26).
Claims30
A waterpower pressure washer comprising:
- a) an elongated tapered barrel;
- b) a hollow cylindrical body integral with and fluidly connected at a slight angle to said elongated tapered barrel;
- c) means for coupling said hollow cylindrical body to a source of pressurized water, so that the pressurized water can travel through said hollow cylindrical body and said elongated tapered barrel;
- d) a nozzle at a distal end of said elongated tapered barrel, so that the pressurized water can be sprayed from said nozzle to clean a surface of an object;
- and
- e) means on said elongated tapered barrel for introducing air therein to help accelerate the flow of water therethrough, said air introducing means selected from the group consisting of:
- i) an air inlet assembly including a collar mounted on said elongated tapered barrel and a plurality, of one-way air valves radially placed into said elongated tapered barrel on said collar to introduce the air therein;
- ii) an air inlet assembly including a plurality of air valves radially placed into said elongated tapered barrel and a collar having a plurality of apertures, said collar rotatively positioned on said elongated tapered barrel over said air valves, so that when said apertures are in alignment with said air valves, air will be introduced into said elongated tapered barrel:
- iii) a hand pump built into said elongated tapered barrel;
- iv) a handgrip pump built into said elongated tapered barrel;
- v) a battery operated pump built into said elongated tapered barrel;
- and
- vi) an air pressure control unit including a plurality of radially placed air holes in said elongated tapered barrel and a sleeve having a plurality, of orifices, said sleeve revolvable on said elongated tapered barrel over said air holes, so that when said orifices are in alignment with said air holes, air will be introduced into said elongated tapered barrel.
