Vehicle dumping bed cleaning device
First Claim
1. A vehicle dumping bed cleaning device comprising:
- a vehicle having a dumping bed, said dumping bed having a pair of walls, said walls being spaced apart and parallel, said dumping bed having a bottom surface extending between said walls, said walls and said bottom surface defining an interior space of said dumping bed;
a pair of lateral arms, each of said lateral arms being pivotally coupled to an associated one of said walls of said dumping bed, each of said lateral arms being elongated;
a scraper coupled to and extending between said lateral arms, said scraper being positioned to abut said bottom surface of said dumping bed as said lateral arms are pivoted wherein said scraper is configured for scraping debris from said bottom surface of said dumping bed;
a motor coupled to said lateral arms wherein said motor urges said lateral arms to pivot whereby said scraper is moved on said bottom surface of said dumping bed; and
a pair of wheels, each of said wheels being coupled to an associated one of said lateral arms, each said wheel being positioned to abut and roll along said bottom surface of said dumping bed as said lateral arms are pivoted.

Abstract
A vehicle dumping bed cleaning device for scraping the interior surface of a dumping bed of a vehicle to facilitate removal of dirt and debris from the dumping bed includes a vehicle having a dumping bed defining an interior space between parallel spaced walls and a bottom surface extending between the walls. Each of a pair of elongated lateral arms is pivotally coupled to an associated one of the walls of the dumping bed. A scraper is coupled to and extends between the lateral arms. The scraper abuts the bottom surface of the dumping bed as the lateral arms are pivoted for scraping debris from the bottom surface of the dumping bed. A motor is coupled to the lateral arms to pivot the lateral arms whereby the scraper is moved on the bottom surface of the dumping bed.

5. A vehicle dumping bed cleaning device comprising:
-
a vehicle having a dumping bed, said dumping bed having a pair of walls, said walls being spaced apart and parallel, said dumping bed having a bottom surface extending between said walls, said walls and said bottom surface defining an interior space of said dumping bed; a pair of lateral arms, each of said lateral arms being pivotally coupled to an associated one of said walls of said dumping bed, each of said lateral arms being elongated; a scraper coupled to and extending between said lateral arms, said scraper being positioned to abut said bottom surface of said dumping bed as said lateral arms are pivoted wherein said scraper is configured for scraping debris from said bottom surface of said dumping bed; a motor coupled to said lateral arms wherein said motor urges said lateral arms to pivot whereby said scraper is moved on said bottom surface of said dumping bed; each of said lateral arms being compressible relative to a length of said lateral arm; and each said lateral arm being resiliently biased to resist compression such that said scraper maintains contact with said bottom surface of said dumping bed as said lateral arms are pivoted. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A vehicle dumping bed cleaning device comprising:
-
a vehicle having a dumping bed, said dumping bed having a pair of walls, said walls being spaced apart and parallel, said dumping bed having a bottom surface extending between said walls, said walls and said bottom surface defining an interior space of said dumping bed; a pair of lateral arms, each of said lateral arms being pivotally coupled to an associated one of said walls of said dumping bed, each of said lateral arms being elongated; a scraper coupled to and extending between said lateral arms, said scraper being positioned to abut said bottom surface of said dumping bed as said lateral arms are pivoted wherein said scraper is configured for scraping debris from said bottom surface of said dumping bed; and a motor coupled to said lateral arms wherein said motor urges said lateral arms to pivot whereby said scraper is moved on said bottom surface of said dumping bed; and wherein said scraper comprises; a base coupled to and extending between said lateral arms; and a plurality of blades, each of said blades being coupled to said base, each of said blades extending outwardly from said base wherein a distal edge of each said blade relative to said base abuts said bottom surface of said dumping bed. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
