Abstract
An improved vehicle washing apparatus includes a plurality of upright tower sections. Each of the upright tower sections has a plurality of elongated tubular members. A horizontal section having a plurality of elongated tubular members connects the upright tower sections. At least two of the elongated tubular members of the upright tower sections and the horizontal section are configured to be conduits of liquid to supply liquid to a plurality of nozzles disposed on at least two of the elongated tubular members of each of the upright tower sections and the horizontal section. An undercarriage apparatus may apply liquid to the underside of the agricultural vehicle. A chemical fill station may be provided along with a loading pad on which to position the agricultural vehicle during a cleaning process and a chemical fill process.
Claims16
A system for washing an agricultural vehicle, the system comprising:
- a loading pad on which to position the agricultural vehicle during a cleaning process and a chemical fill process;
- a chemical fill station associated with the loading pad comprising a reservoir for storing and dispensing one or more chemicals to the agricultural vehicle during the chemical fill process;
- and
- a spray washing apparatus disposed on the loading pad and configured to supply water from a water reservoir to the agricultural vehicle during the cleaning process, the spray washing apparatus comprising:
- (a) a first upright tower section having a plurality of rigid elongated tubular members providing structural support therefor and a second upright tower section having a plurality of rigid elongated tubular members providing structural support therefor;
- (b) a horizontal section connecting the first upright tower section and the second upright tower section, the horizontal section having a plurality of rigid elongated tubular members;
- (c) a plurality of nozzles disposed on at least two of the plurality of rigid elongated tubular members of the first upright tower section, at least two of the plurality of rigid elongated tubular members of the second upright tower section and at least two of the plurality of rigid elongated tubular members of the horizontal section;
- (d) wherein the plurality of nozzles is in fluid connection with a liquid reservoir;
- and
- (e) wherein the at least two of the plurality of rigid elongated tubular members of the first upright tower section, the second upright tower section, and the horizontal section are configured to be conduits of liquid and to supply liquid from the liquid reservoir to the plurality of nozzles.
A vehicle washing apparatus comprising:
- a first upright tower section and a second upright tower section, each of the first upright tower section and the second upright tower section having a plurality of rigid elongated tubular members providing structural support therefor;
- a horizontal section connecting the first upright tower section and the second upright tower section, the horizontal section having a plurality of rigid elongated tubular members;
- a plurality of nozzles disposed on at least two of the plurality of rigid elongated tubular members of the first upright tower section, at least two of the plurality of rigid elongated tubular members of the second upright tower section, and at least two of the plurality of rigid elongated tubular members of the horizontal section;
- and
- an undercarriage washer disposed proximate to ground between the first upright tower section and the second upright tower section, the undercarriage washer comprising:
- (a) a support compartment;
- (b) a plurality of undercarriage nozzles disposed within the support compartment;
- wherein the plurality of nozzles and the plurality of undercarriage nozzles are in fluid connection with a liquid reservoir;
- and
- wherein the at least two of the plurality of rigid elongated tubular members of the first upright tower section, the second upright tower section, and the horizontal section are configured to be conduits of liquid and to supply liquid from the liquid reservoir to the plurality of nozzles.
A vehicle washing apparatus comprising:
- a first upright tower section and a second upright tower section, each of the first upright tower section and the second upright tower section having a plurality of pipes providing structural support therefor and a plurality of horizontal and diagonal braces operatively connected to the pipes;
- a horizontal section connecting the first upright tower section and the second upright tower section, the horizontal section having a plurality of pipes;
- and
- a plurality of nozzles disposed on at least two of the pipes of the first upright tower section, at least two of the plurality of pipes of the second upright tower section, and at least two of the plurality of pipes of the horizontal section;
- wherein the plurality of nozzles is in fluid connection with a liquid reservoir;
- and
- wherein the at least two of the plurality of pipes of the first upright tower section, the second upright tower section, and the horizontal section are configured to be conduits of liquid and to supply liquid from the liquid reservoir to the plurality of nozzles.
