Abstract
A reservoir for retention and delivery of a liquid detergent and water mixture includes an upright standing, multiwalled main body portion, a vertical duct having a passageway therethrough and a hollow outlet tube. The reservoir is constructed of a single molded piece of plastic and the main body portion includes a bottom wall and four side walls which adjoin one another to define an open cavity. The outlet tube which extends through one side wall connects to the vertical duct and opens into the passageway. The free end of the outlet tube is of a design which allows sealing engagement of the outlet tube with a suction conduit. There is a small aperture through the wall of the vertical duct, adjacent to the bottom wall of the main body portion. This aperture provides a path for a liquid detergent and water mixture to flow from within the open cavity into the passageway of the vertical duct. In response to a suction force on the end of the hollow outlet tube, detergent and water mixture flowing into the passageway is able to flow into and through the hollow outlet tube and then into the suction conduit for delivery of this liquid mixture to a remote location.
