Definitions

  • This invention relates to cleaning and watering equipment. More particularly, although not exclusively it discloses an improved water saving apparatus for watering applications or washing vehicles and other items
  • said apparatus including a mobile container for filling from a liquid supply, an electrically operated pump means associated with the container to enable pressurised discharge of liquid from said container through a flexible delivery hose to a remotely located dispensing fitting and a switch operated electrical supply cord for controlling power to said pump means.
  • said head comprises a brush or hose nozzle with a built-in liquid conduit through the handle.
  • said delivery hose is releasably connectable between said pump means and brush or hose nozzle.
  • said pump means is disposed within the container.
  • said pump is adapted to operate from a 12 volt DC power supply.
  • figure 1 is an assembly view of an apparatus according to a first embodiment of the invention
  • figure 2 is a detailed view of the power plug, switch and pump for the apparatus of figure 1
  • figures 3 and 4 shows the complete apparatus of figure 1 in use
  • figure 5 is a perspective view of a container and associated fittings for a second embodiment of the invention
  • figures 6 and 7 show detailed views of part of the storage receptacle fitted to the container of figure 5
  • figure 8 is an edge view along the direction of arrow
  • the apparatus may comprise a 25 litre plastic water container 1 with carry handle 2 and removable cap 3 for filling.
  • An electric pump 4 is disposed within the container and is connected to a flexible outlet tube 5 of say 8 mm diameter. This tube extends out through the top of the container and terminates at a snap fit connector 6 for a delivery hose.
  • An electrical power cord 7 and switch 8 for 12 volt DC power also connects to the pump. Preferably this power cord is fitted with a plug 9 for insertion into the lighter socket of a vehicle or other suitable power supply.
  • the washing head or hose nozzle with this embodiment preferably comprises a brush 10 or hose nozzle 16 of any suitable design.
  • the brush handle 11 or hose nozzle 16 includes a water hose connector fitting 12 similar to that on the delivery tube and forms a conduit by which water can pass through to the bristles or through the hose nozzle.
  • the handle may further include a shut-off valve 13 for controlling flow to the brush or hose nozzle. While the invention is not restricted to any particular design or flow capacity for the pump with this embodiment a pump as supplied by Electus Distribution under the brand name Turbo shower Model No. PS-831-452800 has been found suitable.
  • the container 1 is first filled with water from any convenient supply, a length of conventional garden hose 14 or the like is connected between the outlet tube 5 and brush 10 or hose nozzle 16 and the electrical supply cord 7 is plugged into either a power socket of the vehicle 15 or an integrated rechargeable power supply.
  • the pump 4 is activated to provide a continuous pressure flow of clean water directly to the brush or hose nozzle which can then be used to wash and subsequently rinse the vehicle without contravening any water restriction rules. From trials conducted by the inventor it has been found that a 25 litre container provides adequate water for the average size domestic vehicle. For larger vehicles or vehicles which are excessively dirty larger containers may be used within the scope of this invention.
  • the shut-off valve 13 in the brush handle or hose nozzle may be used to block flow when the brush or hose nozzle is temporarily not in use.
  • the water container has a square open top and fitted storage receptacle 17 with hinged lid 18 across one side.
  • the outlet tube 5 1 and power cord 7 1 extend through the bottom floor 19 of the receptacle to connect with the submerged pump 4' located within.
  • the tube 5' and cord 7 1 can be coiled for storage in the receptacle and the lid closed over them.
  • an aperture 20 is formed in the floor 19 at one ond of the storage receptacle for entry of the outlet tube 5' and power cord 7 1 down into the water below.
  • an insert 21 is snap fitted into this aperture to provide spaced apart entry points for said tube and power cord.
  • the insert with this embodiment has a central portion 22 corresponding to the diameter of the aperture 20 and upper and lower flanges 23, 24 to grip the floor area 19 immediately around the aperture 20.
  • the upper flange 23 is of reduced diameter to enable the insert to be push or snap fitted into the aperture from one side.
  • these cutouts are sized for an interference fit around the tube and power cord to resist any lateral or longitudinal movement and thereby prevent movement of the pump within the container.
  • this invention discloses a novel multipurpose low voltage washing and watering apparatus.
  • Said apparatus at least in the form of the described embodiments operates at low pressure and low flow which gives the user controlled application of the correct amount of water to the area required without wastage.
  • the apparatus can be used with a range of accessories to cover tasks including plant watering, window washing, car washing, caravan washing, boat washing, pet washing, camping and can further be adapted for use as a pumping system for small rainwater collection tanks.
  • Clearly however the examples described are only the currently preferred forms of the invention and a wide variety of modifications may be made which would be apparent to a person skilled in the art.
  • the size and shape of the container, the design and capacity of the pump and the type of washing/watering head, brush or hose nozzle used may all be changed in order to adapt the apparatus for cleaning different types of items or for watering applications as mentioned above.
  • the apparatus would be constructed largely from plastic the invention extends to the use of any other suitable material .

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil destiné au lavage et à l’arrosage. L’appareil comprend un récipient mobile (1’) qui se remplit à l’aide d’une alimentation en eau, une pompe électrique (4') disposée dans le récipient (1') qui permet d’évacuer sous pression le liquide contenu dans le récipient (1’) à l’aide d’un tube de sortie (7') et d’un tuyau de distribution souple vers un raccord de distribution éloigné, et un cordon d’alimentation électrique (5') actionné par un interrupteur qui permet de réguler la puissance de ladite pompe. Le dessus du récipient est fixé à un réceptacle de stockage (17). Le tube de sortie (7') et le cordon d’alimentation électrique (5') s’étendent par une ouverture (20) dans un plancher (19) du réceptacle de stockage. L’ouverture est fixée avec un insert (21) qui produit des points d’entrée espacés destinés au tube de sortie (7') et au cordon d’alimentation (5’).
