Patent ID: 7111631

Claim:
A portable apparatus for flushing an undercarriage of a vehicle, comprising: a) a water source mounted on a truck for providing water to the apparatus, said apparatus being deployed on a ground surface for use; b) a pump for pumping water to the apparatus from said water source; c) a water supply hose for conveying water to the apparatus from said water source; d) a plurality of spaced and parallel elongated center conduits arranged on the ground in a direction of travel and along a central portion of said vehicle for conveying water, said conduits each having a plurality of orifices therein to permit water to be sprayed onto the undercarriage of said vehicle, said spaced and parallel elongated conduits being interconnected by a manifold at a forward end of said center conduits; e) a plurality of unions for joining said conduits together; f) a pair of outside conduit sections parallel to said center conduits being substantially horizontally disposed on each outer side of the vehicle, each of said outside conduit sections having first and second opposing ends, wherein each of said first ends is oriented toward a front of the vehicle, wherein each of said outside conduit sections is disposed parallel to the outer side of the vehicle to permit the outer side of the vehicle to be cleaned; g) a cross connector connecting the first end of each outside conduit section to one of said center conduits, said cross connector being substantially perpendicularly disposed to said outside conduit sections; h) said manifold being disposed between said cross connectors, the manifold having multiple rotatable threaded joints which are rotatable relative to each other to allow the apparatus to lay flat on an unlevel ground surface; i) said center conduits being substantially horizontally disposed between and parallel to said pair of outside conduit sections for washing a center part of the undercarriage of the vehicle, said center conduits having first and second opposing ends, wherein each said first end is oriented toward the front of the vehicle, wherein said first end is joined to said a manifold; j) a pair of ramps wherein one ramp is disposed under each cross connector between said outside conduit sections and said manifold to provide a ramp for the wheels of the vehicle to travel over as the vehicle is cleaned by the apparatus, said ramps being adjustable by said multiple rotatable threaded joints to lay said ramps flat on the unlevel ground surface; and k) said water supply hose being connected between said pump and a second end of one of said outside conduit sections for providing high pressure water to said apparatus.
