  • Patent number: 12194965
    Abstract: A wrap around station of a car wash including a cross piece comprising one or more cross beams and a pair of roller assemblies disposed on the cross piece. Each roller assembly includes one or more first rollers with a substantially vertical axis of rotation, and one or more second rollers with a substantially horizontal axis of rotation. Each of the one or more first and second rollers are arranged to rotate in contact with at least one of the one or more cross beams. A pair of linear actuators are configured to move the roller assemblies along the cross piece. A first side brush and a second side brush are each pivotally and rotatably attached to a corresponding one of the roller assemblies so that the first and second side brushes are moveable along the cross piece and pivotable relative to the cross piece and relative to one another.

  • Publication number: 20230256943
    Abstract: A car wash vehicle conveyor system including a lower track, an upper track, and an intermediate track positioned between the lower and upper tracks. The upper track includes laterally spaced and parallel raised portions. An endless chain extends around the lower track and the intermediate track. The endless chain is connected around at least one drive sprocket so that rotation of the at least one drive sprocket results in lateral movement of the endless chain around the lower and intermediate tracks. A plurality of push roller assemblies are attached to the endless chain. Each push roller assembly is sized so that, when the push roller assembly is directed onto the upper track, the corresponding rollers travel along the upper track between the raised portions. In embodiments, the conveyor system is part of an automated car wash system.
