Apparatus for a mobile support device for a pressure washer wand

A mobile pressure washer wand support with a dolly-like wheeled base with a cut out slot for securely holding the pressure washer wand in place. This allows the user to have the weight of the pressure washer hose alleviated to reduce fatigue and backache. The user can place the pressure washer wand in the adjustable wand slot, tighten clamps to hold the wand in place, and simply point it in the direction that is desired to be sprayed.

BACKGROUND

The present disclosure pertains to apparatuses that are mobile support devices for pressure washer wands.

2. Description of Related Art

The need to easily use and move a pressure washer wand is well known in the art.

Various mobile pressure washer wand supports have been proposed.

However, the preceding mobile pressure washer supports do not support the pressure washing wand, do not alleviate fatigue or allow for one hand application, or provide protection from getting wet feet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following description provides an apparatus for a mobile pressure washing wand support device. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be appreciated, however, by one skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without such specific details. Those of ordinary skill in the art, with the included descriptions, will be able to implement appropriate logic circuits without undue experimentation.

As previously described, various problems exist for prior mobile pressure washer supports. For example, they do not support the pressure washing wand, do not alleviate fatigue or allow for one hand application, or provide protection from getting wet feet. In contrast, in one aspect, the claimed subject matter depicts a mobile pressure washer wand support that comprises of dolly-like wheeled base with a cut out slot for securely holding the pressure washer wand in place. This allows the user to have the weight of the pressure washer hose alleviated to reduce fatigue and backache. For example, in one embodiment, the user can place the pressure washer wand in the adjustable wand slot, tighten clamps to hold the wand in place, and simply point it in the direction that is desired to be sprayed. Because of the weight of the pressure washing wand being held up by the base of the claimed subject matter, a more uniform cleaning is enabled. Likewise, the person using the pressure washer wand support needs only one hand and exhibit little energy to use the pressure washer. Therefore, the claimed subject matter can be utilized by home owners, commercial businesses, young and old alike.

The claimed subject matter also depicts a way to pressure wash without getting one's feet wet. In one embodiment, a rectangular splash shield is connected to the bottom and back side of the mobile support device. The splash shield can comprise of a durable plastic, metal, or another material to deflect water.

The support device has a splash shield secured by splash shield tabs on the support (depicted in connection withFIG. 3). The wand is secured into the support device within a diamond shaped groove and by a carriage bolt and wingnut (shown in connection withFIG. 5). The support device is mobile since it has two wheels connected via a wheel axle and axle nuts (shown in connection withFIG. 4)

In one embodiment, the base of the support device is manufactured with two inch PVC pipe.
