Manual, self-contained, free-standing, vehicle washing/cleaning center

摘要

A transportable, self-contained work site, designed specifically to facilitate manual vehicle washing and engine cleaning, comprising a rigid skeletal structure which is constructed of preformed, connectable modules and a lightweight raised platform or flooring which slopes inwardly to capture liquids for recycling. The structure and platform define a single vehicle work bay or site which further comprises cabinets situated about the periphery of the bay used to store and protect equipment and products from liquid spray and splash, a liquid recycling system which receives and reclaims liquids captured by the flooring thereby minimizing water usage and eliminating the need for linkage with a drain or sewer, two varieties of lights which illuminate the vehicle elucidating unwashed spots, pumps and compressors providing self-contained on-site sources of fluid pressure, an electrical system comprising timers and sensors which activate and deactivate pumps at preset times to conserve water and energy, plumbing for liquid and air lines providing delivery of pressurized fluids at convenient locations about the bay, fans to remove fumes and cool operating personnel, and retractable hoses and nozzles providing mobile, pressurized sources of rinse water and cleaning chemicals. The work site is readily disassembled and transported to more favorable locations. Disassembly is facilitated because the structure is not in any way anchored to the floor or ground upon which it rests and the flooring is modular and also easily disassembled and moved. The work site's electrical and water replenishing systems require only connection to conventional outlet source for operation.
