Abstract
A spray nozzle system for vehicle washing apparatus is disclosed featuring a modular construction in which nearly identical base oscillating nozzle spray units are used for the sides, top, and front and rear nozzle sets. Each spray unit includes a bracket module and attached motor-drive module, and an additional bracket module can be connected end to end to create a doubling of nozzle sets in the unit. The bracket module rotatably supports a nozzle set mounting spray nozzle manifold shaft of either single or double length, supplied by a rotary fluid coupling clamped in a bracket included in each bracket module. The spray nozzle module shaft is oscillated by the motor drive module.
