Abstract
A support for a garbage chute cleaning apparatus includes a cart having ground engaging wheels. Outrigger legs are provided for anchoring and providing lateral stability to the cart. A rotatably mounted reel is provided having a length of line mounted on the cart. Two telescopically extendible vertical support columns are mounted on the cart. A telescopically extendible horizontal cross-beam extends between the two vertical support columns. The horizontal cross-beam has a remote end with a line guide which receives line from the rotatably mounted reel. A Counterweight is mounted to the cart opposite the remote end of the horizontal cross-beam. This provides a counterbalance to a garbage chute cleaning apparatus supported from the line at the remote end of the horizontal cross-beam.

A support for a garbage chute cleaning apparatus, comprising:
- a cart having ground engaging wheels;
- means for anchoring and providing lateral stability to the cart;
- a rotatably mounted reel having a length of line mounted on the cart;
- two telescopically extendible vertical support columns mounted on the cart;
- a telescopically extendible horizontal cross-beam extending between the two vertical support columns, the horizontal cross-beam having a remote end with a line guide which receives line from the rotatably mounted reel;
- and
- counterweight means mounted to the cart opposite the remote end of the horizontal cross-beam, thereby providing a counterbalance to garbage chute cleaning apparatus supported by the line, the counterweight means having a transport position and a counterbalance position.
A support for a garbage chute cleaning apparatus, comprising:
- a cart having a first end and a second end, the first end being supported by two spaced apart ground engaging wheels, the second end being supported by a ground engaging member, a handle being provided at the first end, such that by pulling upon the handle the cart is pivoted about the ground engaging wheels to lift the ground engaging member off a ground surface;
- a first horizontal support beam which is laterally extendible from the cart in a first direction;
- a second horizontal support beam which is laterally extendible from the cart in a second direction, substantially opposed to the first direction;
- a rotatably mounted reel having a length of line mounted on the cart;
- a first height adjustable outrigger leg on the first horizontal support beam;
- a second height adjustable outrigger leg on the second horizontal support beam;
- a first telescopically extendible vertical support column mounted on the first horizontal support beam
- a second telescopically extendible vertical support beam mounted on the cart;
- a telescopically extendible horizontal cross-beam extending between the first vertical support column and the second vertical support column, the horizontal cross-beam having a remote end extending in the first direction, a line guide which receives line from the rotatably mounted reel is positionable in a selected position along the horizontal cross-beam;
- and
- a liquid tight ballast tank mounted to the second horizontal support beam, thereby providing a counterbalance to a garbage chute cleaning apparatus supported from the line at the remote end of the horizontal cross-beam.
