Abstract: A spray device having a plurality of rotating nozzles directs narrow streams of a high pressure fluid in a circular pattern against a vehicle being cleaned in a car wash installation. A conduit for supplying the high pressure fluid to the nozzles is rotatably mounted within a lower generally watertight housing. A front end of the fluid supply conduit extends outwardly of the housing, and a rear end of the conduit is connected to a source of the high pressure fluid by a rotary union. The nozzles are mounted on the ends of T-shaped fluid suppy tubes which extend radially outwardly from the extended front end of the supply pipe. A motor is mounted within a generally waterproof upper housing which is mounted on the lower housing and is generally isolated therefrom. The supply conduit is rotated by the motor which is connected thereto by an endless drive belt which extends through a small opening which provides communication between the two housings.

Abstract: A spray device having a plurality of rotating nozzles directing sprays of a high pressure fluid in a circular pattern against an object being cleaned. The nozzles are mounted on the ends of supply pipes extending radially outwardly from a hub connected to a hollow crankshaft. The crankshaft is connected to a source of high pressure fluid through a supply conduit which is connected to the crankshaft by a rotary union. The rod of a double action piston is connected to the crankshaft and rotates the crankshaft and nozzles upon linear reciprocating movement of the piston rod. The piston cylinder is pivotally mounted on a valve block which has a pair of ball check valves which are actuated by a rocker bar mounted on the cylinder. A small quantity of the high pressure fluid is directed into the valve block from a manifold and is injected alternatively into the ports of the cylinder upon pivotal movement of the cylinder to reciprocate the rod and rotate the crankshaft and connected spray nozzles.
