LIGHTED VEHICLE WASH COMPONENT

摘要

A vehicle wash component includes a rotatable hub portion having an outer surface and an axis of rotation. The component includes a plurality of grooves formed in the outer surface of the rotatable hub with the plurality of grooves being spaced about the perimeter of the outer surface of the hub portion. Each of the plurality of grooves includes one or more media elements disposed therein. The outer surface of the rotatable hub includes a plurality of channels formed therein. The plurality of channels are spaced apart from the plurality of grooves such that each of the plurality of channels is visible when the plurality of media elements are disposed in the plurality of grooves. An illumination source disposed in each of the plurality of channels such that the illumination source in each of the plurality of channels can be seen between the plurality of media elements as the rotatable hub portion operates.

主权项

1. A vehicle wash component, comprising:
a rotatable hub portion having an outer surface and an axis of rotation; a plurality of media retention mechanism disposed in the outer surface of the hub portion, the plurality of media retention mechanism being spaced around the perimeter of the hub portion; a plurality of channels disposed in the outer surface of the hub portion and configured to receive at least one illumination source therein, the plurality of channels being disposed about the perimeter of the hub portion, the plurality of channels being spaced apart a sufficient distance from adjacent ones of the plurality of media retention mechanism such that each of the plurality of channels is configured to be visible when a wash media element is disposed in each of the plurality of media retention mechanism; at least one illumination source disposed in one of the plurality of channels; wherein the at least one illumination source is configured to be visible between the wash media elements when the hub is rotating.
