' May 8, 1928. 1,668,931 J. W. ZIMMER FOUNTAIN BRUSH Filed Sept. 16, 1927 uinea 11oz Patented May 8, 1928 UNITED, STATES moon w. zmmnn, or c'LEeHonn, IOWA.
FOUNTAIN BRUSH.
Application filed September 16, 1927. Serial No. 219,973.
This invention relates to brushing and scrubbing and more particularly to a foun. tain brush by means of which an automobile or other vehicle may be easily washed and very thoroughly cleaned, I o
One object of the invention is to provide a cleaning apparatus includinga storage tank from which water is forced by air pres sure through a hose having a nozzle at its outer end so that passage of water from the hose may be controlled and-a brush secured upon the nozzle so that the automobile or other vehicle may be scrubbed while. water under pressure is applied to it.
Another object of the invention is to securely hold the brush upon the nozzle and brace the brush against'tilting movement so that when in use the brush will not be worked loose from'the nozzle or forced out of proper position with respect to the nozzle.
Another object of the invention is to per mit movement between the brush and nozzle so that the nozzle may be turned to control the flow of water through the nozzle.
Another object of the invention is to permit the brush to be removed when desired or a new brushsubstituted when the one in use is worn out.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein p Figure 1 is aview showing the improved cleaning apparatus in elevation;
Fig. 2 is'an enlarged view showing the brush and nozzle in elevation, and
Fig. 3 is a view taken at right angles to Fig. 2 showing the nozzle in elevation and the brush in section.
The cleaning apparatus includes a tank 1 preferably formed of metal and of any ca pacity desired. Water is poured into the re ceptacle through the inlet 2 and after the desired amount of water has been poured into the receptacle the closure plug 3 is screwed tightly into place. A pipe4- extends upwardly from the tank and carries a check valve 5 which opens towards the pipe 4: and.
is engaged by a tube 6 leading from a hand pump 7. It will thus be seen that air may be forced from the pump past the valve into the tank or receptacle 1 in order to apply pressure to the water and force the water through the hose 8 leadingfrom the outlet 9 at the bottom of the receptacle. A gage 10 is provided so that the air pressure may be determined and additional air forced into the tank when necessary.
The hose 8 is of a conventional construction similar to those used for garden purposes and may be of any length desired. At
previously removed from the hose. It will,
therefore, beseen that the nozzle is aconventional hose nozzle of the type which is ro-. tated in order to control the flow of water through the nozzle.
' he brush 16 includes a back 17 carrying bristles 18 which are secured in the back in any desired manner and the back is formed with an opening 19 in its center of suflicientsize to snugly receive the forward end of the nozzle, as shown in Fig. :3. Metal strips 20 are secured upon the backby bolts 21 and extend longitudinally of the back at opposite sides of the opening 19 so that their intermediate portions 22 which are twisted to project away from the brush head may engage opposite sides of the'nozzle, as shown in Fig. 3. Securing bolts 23 are passed through the intermediate portions of the strips at opposite sides of the nozzle, as
shown in Fig. 2, and when tightened will draw the strips toward the nozzle so that they bear against the nozzle and will prevent the brush from slipping out of proper engagement with the nozzle. It should be noted, however, that the bolts are not tight ened sufiiciently to prevent the nozzle from being rotated in order to control the flow of water through the nozzle.
In order to brace the brush against tilt- -1ng and prevent it from being worked out of proper engagement with an angular rela tion to the nozzle, there has been provided rods or arms 24 which are formed of metal and have their lower ends bent to provide easily washed.
be turned to dispose its longest dimension either horizontally or vertically and thereby allow all portions of the automobile to be When it is desired to use the hose without a brush, the clamp and the bolts 23 are loosened or removed and the brush may be easily detached from the nozzle. When the brush becomes worn out, it can be easily removed and a new one substituted. It will also be obvious that a brush having bristles may be removed and a brush of a different type substituted if so desired.
aving thus described the invention, I claim:
1. In a device of the character described, a nozzle, a nipple connected with said nozzle, a collar about said nipple, a cleaner having a back formed with an opening receiving the forward end portion of said nozzle, strips secured against the back of said cleaner in transversely spaced relation to each other and having their intermediate portions twisted to project from the back and bear against opposite sides of the nozzle, fasteners passed through the intermediate portions of said strips to retain the same in engagement with the nozzle, and bracing arms secured to said collar and extending therefrom longitudinally of the nozzle in diverging relation to each other and secured at the respective ends of one of said strips.
2. In a device of the character described, a
nozzle, a nipple connected with said nozzle, a cleaner having a back formed with an opening receiving the forward end portion of said nozzle, strips carried by the back of said cleaner with the nozzle disposed between their intermediate portions, fasteners passed through the intermediate portions of the strips at opposite sides of the nozzle to retain the strips in engagement with the nozzle, a collar about said nipple, and bracing arms secured to said collar and extending therefrom longitudinally of the nozzle and secured to one of said strips adjacent the respective ends thereof.
3. In a device of the character described, a nozzle, a nipple connected with said nozzle, a collar about said nipple, a cleaner hav ing a back formed with an opening receiving the forward end portion of said nozzle, strips secured against the back of said cleaner in transversely spaced relation to each other and having their intermediate portions projecting from the back and bearing against opposite sides of the nozzle, means to retain the intermediate portions of said strips in engagement with opposite sides of the nozzle, and bracing arms secured to said collar and extending therefrom longitudinally of the nozzle and secured to the respective end portions of one of said strips.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
