Abstract: A wash apparatus for a vehicle wash installation is provided, which includes a shaft drivable in rotation about a rotation axis and wash elements operatively connected thereto. In order to be able to adapt to the contour of a vehicle, the wash apparatus can be divided axially in two or more wash apparatus segments and that the at least one wash apparatus segment includes a wash element holding body having wash elements held thereto, said wash element holding body defining a wash apparatus segment axis which is different from the rotation axis, and a gear device which couples the shaft to the wash element holding body in order to rotate same about the wash apparatus segment axis, wherein the wash element holding body is configured for pivotal movement relative to the shaft via the gear device. Furthermore, a vehicle wash installation including a wash apparatus is provided.

Abstract: A drying apparatus for motor vehicles is provided, which is movable in a treatment direction relative to the surface of a motor vehicle to be dried. The drying apparatus includes a plurality of nozzles suppliable with drying air, a nozzle support device, and a holding device holding the nozzle support device. The nozzle support device includes at least two nozzle supporting parts, each holding at least one nozzle, arranged side by side transversely to the treatment direction. The drying apparatus includes an adjusting device for transferring the nozzle supporting parts relative to one another between at least two relative positions in which the parts are oriented at different angles to one another. The relative positions include an angular position in which air flows exiting the nozzles have or form an apex region on the leading side with respect to the treatment direction. A vehicle wash installation is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle wash facility, including a drying apparatus for drying a motor vehicle which is held to a holding device of the vehicle wash facility and includes a nozzle support device, at least one blower and a plurality of nozzles which are arranged at a distance relative to one another at the nozzle support device and which can be supplied with drying air by the at least one blower, wherein the nozzles are flat jet nozzles, each providing a flow of air that spreads out in a fan shape.

Abstract: An exchangeable sweeping brush device for a carrier vehicle is provided. The device has at least one sweeping brush which is rotationally drivable about an almost vertically oriented axis of rotation of the brush and is held on a supporting frame, the supporting frame being detachably connectable to a supporting fork of the carrier vehicle, which is pivotable about a first horizontal pivot axis oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The supporting frame comprises a first supporting assembly on which the at least one sweeping brush is rotatably mounted, and a second supporting assembly which is detachably connectable to the supporting fork, the first supporting assembly being connected to the second supporting assembly for pivotal movement about a second horizontal pivot axis and being detachably connectable to the carrier vehicle by at least one tension member. A sweeper having such a sweeping brush device is also proposed.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automotive sweeper with wheels for traveling along a ground surface and with at least one sweeping brush rotatingly drivable for sweeping the ground surface and with a dirt container adapted to be acted upon with a vacuum by a suction unit via a suction conduit and connected to a suction port via an intake line for the purpose of receiving sweepings. In order to develop the sweeper further in such a manner that it achieves an improved cleaning result with as little use of energy as possible it is suggested in accordance with the invention that the suction conduit be integrated into the dirt container at least in sections, wherein the outlet of the intake line opening into the dirt container is arranged next to at least one inlet area of the suction conduit.
