Abstract: A mobile pressure washer can include a wheeled chassis, a power plant supported by the wheeled chassis, a fluid pump a fluid pump coupled to and driven by the power plant, a sprayer in fluid communication with the pump, a chemical solution container, and a container holder for supporting the chemical solution container. In some examples, the container holder has a frame operably connected to the wheeled chassis and has a container support mounted to the frame, the container support including a base wall and a sidewall defining a receptacle for receiving and supporting a container in fluid communication with the pump.

Abstract: Pressure washer nozzle assemblies that include multiple orifices that each generate a respective spray pattern or are suitable for alternate applications. The nozzle assemblies include a flow body that is constructed to be associated with a wand and a control or controller that is movably associated with the flow body. Manipulation of the controller relative to the flow body effectuates different flow configurations that are each associated with selectively fluidly connecting alternate orifices associated with the nozzle assembly with the fluid flow delivered via the wand.

Abstract: A pressure washer unloader valve assembly having a movable operator that manipulates an orientation of a valve body to manipulate the flow pressure is communicated downstream of the valve assembly. A cam and follower interface is formed between the operator and the valve body such that the movable operator is movable within less than 360 radial degrees to effectuate manipulation the valve assembly between a fully open and a fully closed configuration. Preferably, the valve assembly is configured to achieve the fully open or fully closed orientations of the valve assembly during a single wrist rotation of a user during interaction with the movable operator either remotely or at a pump.

Abstract: An air compressor includes a tank configured to contain compressed air, an inlet configured to receive compressed air from the tank, an outlet, and a control device, positioned between the inlet and the outlet, configured to regulate an output pressure of compressed air discharged through the outlet. The control device includes a housing having a chamber, and a pressure regulator in fluid communication with the chamber. The pressure regulator is configured to regulate discharge of compressed air through the outlet. The control device also includes a mechanical valve which, when opened, is configured to fluidly communicate the chamber and the tank to adjust the pressure regulator, and an actuator coupled to the mechanical valve. The actuator is configured to at least selectively open the valve.

Abstract: An exhaust system for an engine that produces an exhaust gas during operation. The exhaust system includes a manifold in fluid communication with the engine to receive the exhaust gas and a conduit extending from the manifold in a first direction. An outlet manifold is coupled to the conduit and extends in a second direction substantially normal to the first direction. The outlet manifold defines an aperture oriented such that exhaust gas passes through the aperture and out of the outlet manifold in a third direction that is substantially opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A breather assembly for a crankcase includes a chamber having a chamber pressure. The breather assembly includes a base coupled to the crankcase and having an interior. The base defines a first aperture to allow fluid communication between the chamber and the interior, and a second aperture to allow fluid communication between an atmosphere and the interior. A a movable membrane is disposed substantially within the interior to define a crankcase-side of the interior and an atmosphere-side of the interior.

Abstract: An apparatus that connects generator power, from a generator to a hard-wired load, the load being connected in circuit to a load power switch that switches power to the load. The apparatus includes a connection box, an input connector, and a two-position switch adapted to being connected in circuit with the generator and with a utility source.

Abstract: A pressure washer including a first container adapted to contain a first liquid, a second container adapted to contain a second liquid, a valve, a first conduit fluidly connecting the first container to the valve, and a second conduit fluidly connecting the second container to the valve. The pressure washer also includes a single engine-powered pump and a mixing device. The pump is adapted to receive water from a water source, and the mixing device adapted to receive water from the pump. The mixing device is adapted to mix at least one of the first and liquids received from the valve with the water received from the pump.

Abstract: A pressure washer includes a chassis as well as a liquid pump, a pump-driving prime mover, plural chemical product containers and a product selecting valve, all supported by the chassis. Each of the containers is attached to a separate valve conduit extending to the valve and the valve is connected to a device conduit extending to the mixing device. A distributor is mounted for movement with respect to the valve body and has a channel for selectively connecting one of the valve conduits to the device conduit. The user may thereby use the pressure washer to dispense any one of plural solutions. A fresh water container facilitates “wash out” of the valve and device conduit before switching to another chemical product.

Abstract: A pressure washer includes a chassis as well as a liquid pump, a pump-driving prime mover, plural chemical product containers and a product selecting valve, all supported by the chassis. The pump is coupled to a mixing device and has a water inlet port for connection to, e.g., a garden hose. Each of the containers is attached to a separate valve conduit extending to the valve and the valve is connected to a device conduit extending to the mixing device. The product selecting valve includes a valve body with first and second inlet apertures and an outlet aperture. A distributor is mounted for movement with respect to the valve body and has a channel for selectively connecting one of the valve conduits to the device conduit. The user may thereby use the pressure washer to dispense any one of plural solutions involving, e.g., a detergent solution, a deck washing solution, a car washing solution, a car wax solution or the like.
