Abstract: A device for removing concrete debris from passages within modular blocks is disclosed. The device includes nozzles mounted to a plate at locations corresponding to the passages on the modular blocks. An actuator is secured to the block molding machine, supports the plate, and moves the plate from a retracted position to an extended position in close proximity to the conveyor. The nozzles are operatively connected to a source of compressed air and are arranged to enter within the passages of the modular block when the plate moves to the extended position. A control system directs operation of the device such that when a modular block reaches a predetermined location on the conveyor, the actuator moves the mounting plate to the extended position causing the nozzles to enter within the passages of the modular block and emit jets of compressed air to remove concrete debris from within the passages.

Abstract: A vehicle drying system, hand held, pressurized air, completely independent vehicle drying system which includes a blower disposed within a housing. The housing has an activation mechanism disposed therein in communication with the blower. The activation mechanism receives coins to activate the blower. The system uses coins, currency, credit/debit cards, tokens, timers. Coins are accumulated within a coin box disposed interiorly of the housing. The activation mechanism is in communication with a timer disposed interiorly of the housing whereby the timer will deactivate the blower after a set period of time. The blower has a hose coupled therewith and extending outwardly of the housing. A plurality of attachments are provided that are adapted for coupling with a free end of the hose. A first attachment portion has a vented nozzle. A second attachment portion has an angled vented nozzle. A third attachment portion has an arcuate vented nozzle.
