Patent ID: 7040328

Claim:
A combination fluid and air washing apparatus for washing a vehicle's viewing surface, said apparatus comprising: a housing, said housing being of a predetermined shape and size; a nozzle assembly, said nozzle assembly comprising at least one fluid nozzle, an air nozzle to complement each of said fluid nozzles, and a shaft, said fluid nozzle being linearly fixed into position relative to said shaft and the fluid nozzle is relatively fixed over the vehicle's viewing surface with the viewing surface receiving full coverage by rotation of said fluid nozzle, said shaft being pivotally attached to said housing by pivots, said fluid and air nozzles being adjacently attached to said shaft and pointed towards said vehicle viewing surface, wherein said air nozzle is pointed lower on said vehicle viewing surface than said fluid nozzle; at least one fluid reservoir attached to said housing, wherein said fluid reservoir provides fluid to said fluid nozzle through a fluid feed; and an air compressor connected to said fluid reservoir and said air nozzle by a line, wherein said air compressor provides pressured air to said washing apparatus through said line, said air nozzle receiving full coverage of the vehicle's viewing surface by rotation on said shaft; wherein said air compressor provides pressured air to said fluid reservoir forcing said fluid through said fluid feed to said fluid nozzle and wherein said air compressor simultaneously provides pressured air through said line to said air nozzle and whereby, simultaneously, said air nozzle sprays said vehicle's viewing surface with said pressurized air and said fluid nozzle sprays said vehicle's viewing surface with said fluid and said fluid washes said vehicle's viewing surface and said air dries said vehicle's viewing surface.
