Abstract:
A method for assembling and reconstructing a vehicle laundering element for use in contact-washing an external surface of a vehicle comprising the steps of:providing a plurality of spacers having complemental mating surfaces and alternating pin and socket structures between said surfaces whereby placing said surfaces in mating contact causes the pin of one spacer to enter into the socket of an adjacent spacer;providing a plurality of strip-like cloth laundering elements having a mounting end and a vehicle contacting end and holes formed therein adjacent said mounting end;interposing the mounting ends of said elements between said spacers such that the holes in the elements line up with the pins and sockets of the spacers; andcompressing said spacers toward one another to mate said complemental surfaces and form a unitary assembly.
