Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A combination brush-wand washing unit for cleaning an object comprising: a high-pressure wand having a nozzle; a housing through which the said high-pressure wand may project; a brush mounted on the housing; and means for allowing the wand to be moved between a first position wherein said wand and its nozzle projects from the housing with the nozzle at a distance from the housing and brush for emitting a stream of high-pressure liquid therefrom, and a second position wherein the wand nozzle is within the housing such as to direct its flow to and through the brush, whereby the user may alternatively and selectively use the unit as a cleaning high-pressure wand close to the object without fear of the housing or brush hitting or scraping the object or as a liquid flowing brush.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A combination brush-wand washing unit for cleaning an object comprising: a high-pressure wand having a nozzle; a housing through which the said high-pressure wand may project; a brush mounted on the housing; and means for allowing the wand to be moved between a first position wherein said wand and its nozzle projects from the housing with the nozzle at a distance from the housing and brush for emitting a stream of high-pressure liquid therefrom, and a second position wherein the wand nozzle is within the housing such as to direct its flow to and through the brush, whereby the user may alternatively and selectively use the unit as a cleaning high-pressure wand close to the object without fear of the housing or brush hitting or scraping the object or as a liquid flowing brush.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
The invention of claim 1 wherein the tool includes a housing which defines two pathways within it for the wand, one of which allows the wand to project out of the housing and the other of which allows the wand to be seated at the base of the brush.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
The invention of claim 1 wherein mechanical bias means are provided for urging the wand nozzle end outward from the housing, which means serves to keep the wand nozzle end and the housing separated during normal use as a wand in said first position and also serves to urge and hold the nozzle in place within the housing when in said second position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The invention of claim 3 wherein the user may alternate between the uses by pulling the wand through the housing against the mechanical bias.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
The invention of claim 4 wherein the tool includes a housing which defines two pathways within it for the wand, one of which allows the wand to project out of the housing and the other of which allows the wand to be seated at the base of the brush.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
130 words
A combination brush-wand washing unit for cleaning an object comprising: a wand having a nozzle; a housing through which the said wand may project; a brush mounted on the housing; and means for allowing the wand to be moved between a first position wherein said wand and its nozzle projects from the housing with the nozzle at a distance from the housing and brush for emitting a stream of liquid therefrom, and a second position wherein the wand nozzle is within the housing such as to direct its flow to and through the brush, whereby the user may alternatively and selectively use the unit as a cleaning wand close to the object without fear of the housing or brush hitting or scraping the object or as a liquid flowing brush.
Claim 8
