Abstract A device for spraying water against a vehicle to remove harmful salt and chemicals deposited on the vehicle during use. A plurality of parallel spaced conduits rest on a surface beneath the vehicle and extend longitudinally therewith. The conduits are connected to a water header which in turn is connected to a supply of water. A pair of these conduits are located along the outer sides of the vehicle and a plurality of these conduits are located underneath the vehicle between the front and rear wheels. A plurality of spray holes are formed in the upper portions of the outer conduits at various angles for spraying water against the sides of the vehicle at various heights. A plurality of spray holes are formed in the upper portions of the inner conduits at various angles for spraying water in various directions against the underside portions of the vehicle.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
354 words
A spray device for removing salt deposits from a stationary vehicle parked on a generally horizontal supporting surface including a pair of spaced parallel outer conduits and at least one inner cOnduit located intermediate said outer conduits and parallel therewith; said conduits being adapted to rest on the horizontal vehicle supporting surface beneath and longitudinally aligned with a vehicle to be sprayed; the conduits being spaced apart sufficiently that the outer conduits are located along and beyond the outer sides of the vehicle and the inner conduit is located intermediate the vehicle wheels; the conduits each having a closed end and an open end; header pipe means connected to the open ends of the conduits and extending transverse with respect thereto; water supply line means connected at one end to the header pipe means and the other end being adapted for connection to a supply of water; the conduits being formed of flexible waterproof material for compact storage when not in use, each conduit having a plurality of water spray holes formed in the upper portion and extending throughout the length thereof; a first plurality of the inner conduit spray holes being formed generally perpendicular to the supporting surface, and the axes of a second plurality of the inner conduit spray holes being formed at approximately 45* angles with respect to the supporting surface and at approximately a 90* angle with respect to each other, whereby streams of water sprayed from said first and second plurality of inner conduit spray holes strike the underside of the vehicle at various angles and locations; and the axes of said outer conduit spray holes being formed at acute angels between 45* and 70* with respect to the supporting surface; said outer conduit spray holes extending transversely in the upper portion with said angles increasing between 45* and 70* in the transverse direction away from the inner conduit, whereby streams of water sprayed from said holes project toward and strike the sides and top of a vehicle at various heights and locations to provide a uniform spray pattern of water on the sides and top of a vehicle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A spray device for removing salt deposits from a stationary vehicle parked on a generally horizontal supporting surface including a pair of spaced parallel outer conduits and at least one inner cOnduit located intermediate said outer conduits and parallel therewith; said conduits being adapted to rest on the horizontal vehicle supporting surface beneath and longitudinally aligned with a vehicle to be sprayed; the conduits being spaced apart sufficiently that the outer conduits are located along and beyond the outer sides of the vehicle and the inner conduit is located intermediate the vehicle wheels; the conduits each having a closed end and an open end; header pipe means connected to the open ends of the conduits and extending transverse with respect thereto; water supply line means connected at one end to the header pipe means and the other end being adapted for connection to a supply of water; the conduits being formed of flexible waterproof material for compact storage when not in use, each conduit having a plurality of water spray holes formed in the upper portion and extending throughout the length thereof; a first plurality of the inner conduit spray holes being formed generally perpendicular to the supporting surface, and the axes of a second plurality of the inner conduit spray holes being formed at approximately 45* angles with respect to the supporting surface and at approximately a 90* angle with respect to each other, whereby streams of water sprayed from said first and second plurality of inner conduit spray holes strike the underside of the vehicle at various angles and locations; and the axes of said outer conduit spray holes being formed at acute angels between 45* and 70* with respect to the supporting surface; said outer conduit spray holes extending transversely in the upper portion with said angles increasing between 45* and 70* in the transverse direction away from the inner conduit, whereby streams of water sprayed from said holes project toward and strike the sides and top of a vehicle at various heights and locations to provide a uniform spray pattern of water on the sides and top of a vehicle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The device defined in claim 1 in which three similar parallel spaced inner conduits are connected to the header pipe means; and in which said three inner conduits are adapted to be located beneath and between the wheels of a vehicle to be sprayed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The device defined in claim 1 in which the outer and inner conduits are generally rectangular in shape having flat bottom walls, parallel side walls, and flat top walls forming water passageways.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The device defined in claim 3 in which partition means are located within each of said conduit water passageways forming a plurality of subpassageways within each conduit; and in which said spray holes communicate with said subpassageways.
