Mobile cleaning apparatus including a roller supported frame carrying a container for holding a supply of cleaning liquid, a sprayer head connected to a length of flexible tubing for spraying a cleaning liquid entrained in a stream of water, a venturi unit having a main water flow passageway and a cleaning liquid inlet, a water flow control valve connected across the passageway of the venturi unit, and a pair of pressure regulating valves connected in parallel between the outlet of the pump and the inlet of the venturi unit and water flow control valve. The pressure regulating valves have water bypassing outlets which open at two widely different pressures. A water control valve is placed in the water bypass line of the pressure regulating valve which opens at the lower pressure.
A new apparatus and system for mixing pesticides with water concurrently with spraying is disclosed. Pesticide and water are metered into a mixing reservoir in a continuous process. The mixed solution is transferred by means of a pump to a pressure regulator and then dispensed through a set of nozzles onto rows of plants. The mixing action of the pesticide is attained in the mixing reservoir by recycle of a percentage of the pesticide solution from the pressure regulator. Concentrations of pesticide are set by empirical tests and balanced between the dry pesticide metering device which is an auger and the recycle solution. The dry pesticide is fed into the metering chamber by a vibrating device and gravity feed. The density of the dry pesticide is controlled in the pesticide dispensing chamber by a mechanical agitator which whips air into the dry pesticide. The water is fed into the mixing reservoir by gravity feed and controlled by a mechanical float valve.
A cleaning solution spraying system has a base onto which one or two tanks are secured, one of the tanks having a cleaning solution and the other tank having water. The tanks are each connected to a pump and each pump is connected to a T-fitting with the T-fitting also connected to a nozzle. If only the solution tank is used, the T-fitting is connected directly to a pressurized fluid source such as an ordinary faucet with a pressure gauge assuring a constant amount of pressure flowing to the respective pump and a gauge allowing a user to ascertain the incoming pressure. A second T-fitting allows the use of two tanks and a direct connection to the source of pressurized fluid. A manifold system is connected to the solution tank to regulate the amount of cleaning solution used, the manifold having a plurality of valve-laden feeder tubes that allow a user to regulate the amount of fluid flowing therethrough.
A portable, battery powered spray applicator car wash device capable of holding and dispensing liquid cleansers and waxes for rubbing into the body and windows of a vehicle, thereby enabling complete and portable mobile washing and cleaning services and complete detailing of a vehicle without the use of water.
A mobile, modular apparatus for power spraying comprises a first adapter attached to a motor and a second adapter attached to a pump. Both adapters are received and positioned on a wheeled frame with the driving sheave of the motor in operational alignment with the driven sheave of the pump. A recess in the pump adaptor receives a locking bar on the frame to partially lock the pump adaptor in place; the positioning of the motor adaptor on the frame completes the locking of the pump adaptor in place. Before the motor adaptor is locked into position, one or more drive belts are installed on the driving and driven sheaves by rotating the motor about the pump adaptor far enough to where the belts will fit loosely onto the sheaves. The belts are made operationally tight when the motor is rotated back into position on the frame. The motor adaptor is locked into place with a swing lock. The sheaves are covered by a housing that is latched into place. The modular construction makes the apparatus easier to lift, transport, and customize for different uses.
