Abstract

A dual spray cleaning apparatus (10) for sweeping, de-greasing, wiping, and drying a waterproof floor surface wherein, the apparatus (10) includes a generally T-shaped spray wand member (30) having a primary spray gun member (34) formed on one end wherein, the other end of the spray wand member (30) has a cross arm (32) provided with a plurality of spray nozzles (33) wherein, the cross arm (32) is also operatively connected to an elongated wiper blade member (23); and wherein, the primary spray gun member (34) is releasably associated with an auxiliary single nozzle spray gun member (40) having an elongated length of hose (42) that is operatively connected to a portion (36) of the primary spray gun member (34).

Claims

1. A spray cleaning apparatus comprising

a primary spray unit including a generally T-shaped spray wand member including a hollow shaft having one end connected to a primary spray gun member wherein, the other end of the hollow shaft terminates in a cross arm provided with a plurality of downwardly angled forwardly directed spray nozzles;

a squeegee unit including an elongated wiper blade member that is operatively connected to the cross arm of the spray wand member; and

an auxiliary spray unit disposed in fluid communication with the primary spray unit wherein the auxiliary spray unit includes a single nozzle spray gun member provided with an elongated length of hose which is operatively connected to a portion of the primary spray unit.

2. The apparatus as in claim 1;

wherein, the primary spray gun member is further provided with a branched fluid coupling adapted to be connected to both a high pressure hose as well as the elongated length of hose that is connected to said single nozzle spray gun member.

3. The apparatus as in claim 2 further including

means for releasably connecting the single nozzle spray gun member to a portion of the primary spray gun member.

4. The apparatus as in claim 1;

wherein, the squeegee unit further includes a generally T-shaped handle member wherein, the shaft of the handle member is connected to the shaft of the spray wand member and the cross arm of the handle member is connected to the cross arm of the spray wand member.

5. The apparatus as in claim 4;

wherein, the wiper blade member is fixedly connected to the cross arm of said handle member.

6. The apparatus as in claim 3;

wherein, the squeegee unit further includes a generally T-shaped handle member wherein, the shaft of the handle member is connected to the shaft of the spray wand member and the cross arm of the handle member is connected to the cross arm of the spray wand member.

7. The apparatus as in claim 6;

wherein, the wiper blade member is fixedly connected to the cross arm of said handle member.
