发明名称 Liquid containment and measurement apparatus and method
摘要 A car wash liquid containment and measurement apparatus having a reservoir defining a first interior region configured to hold a liquid therein. The apparatus has a valve with a first position and a second position and the valve is coupled to the reservoir. There is also a measurement apparatus coupled to the valve defining a second interior region and a tube disposed at least partially within the second interior region of the measurement apparatus. The valve fluidly isolates the first interior region from the second interior region when the valve is in the first position and the valve fluidly couples the first interior region with the second interior region when the valve is in the second position.

主权项 1. A liquid measurement and containment apparatus, comprising: a reservoir having a plurality of side walls, a bottom surface, a top surface, and defining a first interior region configured to hold a liquid therein; a cavity defined in a portion of the top surface; an orifice defined in the cavity providing access into the first interior region; a valve having a first position and a second position, the valve coupled to the reservoir on one of the plurality of side walls proximate to the bottom surface; a measurement apparatus extending from a top portion to a bottom portion, coupled to the valve, and defining a second interior region; a tube extending through the top portion and disposed at least partially within the second interior region of the measurement apparatus; and an intake end of the tube positioned proximate to the bottom portion; wherein the valve fluidly isolates the first interior region from the second interior region when the valve is in the first position; further wherein the valve fluidly couples the first interior region with the second interior region when the valve is in the second position; further wherein, when the valve is in the second position, liquid travels from the first interior region to the second interior region before being withdrawn through the intake end of the tube; further wherein, the cavity corresponds in size with a container and is adapted to receive the container partially within the cavity where a portion of the container is within the orifice to transfer liquid from the container to the interior region.
