AUTOMOBILE WASHE R. APPLICATION FILED JUNE 21.21913.
WITNESSES iii Z2 W ATTORNEY HARRY M. JENNINGS, or U'I'ICA, NEW YO FFIC J ii I AUTOMOBILE-WASHER.
Application filed June 21, 1913. Serieal No. 774,993.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY M. JENNINGS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Automobile-Nashers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
My invention relates to an automobile cleaner and I declare the following tobe full, clear, concise and exact description thereof sufficient to enable any one skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the,
accompanying drawings in which like reference characters referto like parts throughout the specification.
The object of the invention-is toprovide a simple, efiicient device for cleaning automobiles.
The mechanism embodies a tube of any suitable dimensions made preferably of some light metal such as aluminum and adapted to beconnected at one end to a hose and at the other end to a brush, so that the water passing through the tube from the hose' will aid the brush in cleaning the parts ofan automobile. However, the device may be employed in cleaning windows, or other like places, or it may be connected to any suitable air suction machine for vacuum cleaning purposes.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device as it would appear in operation; Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view, showing parts in section; Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan View of a member em ployed to hold soap; Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view, showing a section of a modified construction; Fig. 5 is an elevation of the view shown in Fig. 4; Fig. 6 is a perspective view, of a special kind of brush,
that may be employed; Fig. 7'is a section taken on the'line 7-7 of Fig. 4; Fig. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary view in section of a portion of the member-for holding the soap, showing also immediate parts; Fig. 9 is a view reduced in size, showing the 'hose and brush in combination with the apertured soapcontainer illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 and 7.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the invention embodies a tube 1- made preferably of some light metal such as aluminum. The end 2 of tube -1 is screw threaded to be mounted to the tion 11 of tube '-1.
' members 12.
opposite end of tube '1 or end 5 is also Specification of Letters Patent. Patented June 15, 1915.
threaded, whereby there may be detachably held to said end 5, the tube portion 6 of a brush 7 Tube l is'enlarged at portion 8, which is shouldered at 9 and screw threaded at 10 for the reception of the por- The enlarged portion 8 is intended to house members 12-12, which are made spoon shaped for holding a cake of soap l3, therebetween. Members 12-12 are adjusted relative to each other, whereby they may, to any desired degree, shield the cake of soap 13 from the water thatpasses through the tube 1--, by means of screws 1414. The screws 14 work in correspondingly threaded bores in the enlarged'portion 8 of the tube 1 and are headed, at 16, which heads rest loosely in. recesses 17 of the members 12, so that said screws 14 may turn independently of the In order to aid in urging members 12 normally toward each other, there is employed about the screws 14 coiled springs 1818. Screws 14 are furthermore locked in any given position by finger nuts- 19-49, which also serve the further function of preventing any leakage through the holes in the portion 8 of the,tube 1- for screws 14. Tlfe enlarged portion 8 of tube -1 is closed at opposite sides by wire screens- 2020, whereby to prevent the escape of soap 13 from members 12; Rubber washers 30,. 31, and32 are employed at the joints to make air tight unions. I
To operate the device, same is first connected to thenozzle 3 of a hose 4. A suitable brush as 7 is'secured to the end 5 of the tube 1. The-cake of soap 13 is disposed within members 12. End portion 5 of the tube -1 is, then screwed to the enlarged portion 8 thereof and the water turned on. The water will pass through the tube l,
-moisten the cake of soap 13, whereby to form a soap suds and then pass out through the holes'21 of the brush 7. In the event that only a'little soap is needed, or no soap at all, as for rinsing purposes, the operator will then turn screws 14, which may be provided with serrated. parts'22, and therebymove members 12 toward each other to any desired degree.
Figs. '4, '5, and 7, show a modification of the tube 1, embodying an enlarged portion 35, which supports therein the outer member 36 of a container 39, by means of.
. .5 may engage the operator desires to regulate the cylindrical shaped, is disposed in container 39, whereupon portion 38 of the tube 1- 1s fitted to portion 35 and the parts pushed together, so that the threads of the bushing threads at on portion 35 of the tube l-, and thereby hold said The part 38 of the tube '1 is permitted to turn independently of part 35 by reason of a circumferential lug 47 formed integral with portion 38, which lug engages in a loose manner a corresponding recess in bushing 45. If, when the parts are assembled, the quantity of soap in the water, he can do so by turning portion-38 of the tube 1, so that the apertures 48 of the container 39. will register to a greater or lesser degree with the apertures 50 of the outer member 36 of the container 39, which fact may be indicated by means of the arrow 51 registering with the properly marked line of the graduated scale The scale 53 of bushing 45 may be alined with the scale 52, on tube 1. In Fig. 6 there is shown a brush 60 adapted to be connected to the outer end 5 of tube 1 for cleaning the floor of a building. The end 61 of the container 39 is closed and the opposite end is open for the insertion of the soap. The enlarged portion 35 of the tube 1 may be disposed along said tube relative to the convenience of manipulation by the hand of the operator. I
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In an automobile washer, a tube, a hose connected to one end of said tube, a brush connected to one end of said tube, a brush detachably connected to the opposite end of said tube, an apertured soap container for holding a cake of soap Within said tube, and means for adjusting the degree of opening of said apertures.
4. In an automobile washer, a tube, a hose connected to one end of said tube, abrush detachably connected to the opposite end of said tube, members for holding a cake of p soap within said tube, and means for adjusting said members with reference to each other.'
5. In an automobile washer, the combination of a tube, having an enlarged portion,
' a second enlarged portion of said tube, said second portion adapted to sleeve said first named enlarged portion, an apertured soap container supported within said enlarged portions, apertures in said soap container, and means for regulating the degree of opening of said apertures.
6. In an automobile Washer, the combina tion of a tube, having an enlarged portion, a second enlarged portion of said tube adapted to sleeve said first namedportion,
an apertured soap .container supported within said enlarged portion, and said enlarged portions adapted to turn relative to each other for opening or closing the apertures in said soap container.
In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
