  • Patent number: 6367658
    Abstract: A coin/credit-card/debit-card and credit card activated windshield washer fluid dispensing system that is economically constructed with a minimum number of electrical components, and which is particularly suitable for retrofitting to existing housings built for other dispensing purposes. Through use of the present invention an operator can neatly transfer a metered amount of windshield washer fluid directly into a motor vehicle windshield fluid reservoir under low pressure without the use of a funnel. The system can be used as a stand-alone unit or combined in a housing with other automotive-related systems, such as air/vacuum service units. A first preferred embodiment comprises a timer, pump, and solenoid all operating under standard current whereby upon opening the solenoid and pump activation, windshield washer fluid is transferred from a tank to a low pressure regulator for a pre-determined amount of time.
