Abstract
A toy carwash unit is comprised of a self-supporting, free-standing frame, a water-carrying conduit supported by the frame, and at least one water-spray head. The several pieces from which the frame is assembled form two inverted, generally U-shaped subassemblies, joined to one another by a crosspiece on which the spray head is mounted. The unit is devoid of any ground-level structure that would interfere substantially with the passage of a vehicle to a washing location within the frame, and it is readily disassembled.
Claims10
A drive-through toy carwash unit comprised of a self-supporting, free-standing, readily disassembled frame, a separate water-carrying conduit supported within said frame along at least a portion of its length, and at least one water-discharge head, said frame comprising a multiplicity of elongate members disengageably interfitted with one another, including at least four leg pieces, at least two overhead pieces, and at least one crosspiece, each of said leg pieces having an upper end portion and a lower end portion terminating at a ground-contacting element, and each of said overhead pieces and said crosspiece having opposite end portions with intermediate portions therebetween, said upper end portions of said leg pieces and said opposite end portions of said overhead pieces being constructed for mutual interengagement so as to form two generally U-shaped subassemblies, each of said subassemblies being comprised of two of said leg pieces and one of said overhead pieces joined by interengagement of said upper end portions and said opposite end portions thereof, respectively, and said opposite end portions of said crosspiece and said intermediate portions of said overhead pieces being constructed for mutual interengagement so as to support said crosspiece between said U-shaped subassemblies with said subassemblies spaced laterally from one another, said crosspiece being elevated substantially above ground level with said ground-contacting elements on said lower end portions of said leg pieces in ground-engaging contact and said subassemblies in inverted orientation;
- said at least one water-discharge head being supported on said intermediate portion of said crosspiece;
- and said conduit having one end portion connected to said water-discharge head and an opposite end portion constructed for operative connection to a water supply for the delivery of water through said conduit to said water-discharge head, said unit being devoid of any structure that would interfere significantly with the passage of a vehicle on the ground and at least in the longitudinal direction of said crosspiece, between said two subassemblies.
