Problems solved by technology

This created very heavy and hard to manufacture rollers that increased the costs to the car wash operator.
Also metal on metal wearing or rubbing may have caused grinding and reduce the effectiveness, durability and life of the roller system within the conveyer system of the automatic car wash.

Abstract

A low weight corrosion resistant car wash roller includes a plastic body. The roller also includes a shaft with a sleeve arranged thereon. A set of plastic rollers are arranged on the shaft in contact with the sleeve. A second removable fastener is arranged in the body and has a plastic idle wheel arranged on each end thereof. The roller also includes a carrier link rotatably secured to the body.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 919,764, filed Mar. 23, 2007BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Car wash rollers have been known for many years in the industry. Generally, car wash rollers are completely made of a metal ie., body, rollers, shafts, etc. The metal outboard roller engages a track in the car wash while the inboard roller engages a vehicle wheel being pushed through the car wash system. The prior art also included metal idle wheels that roll along the lower track portion of the conveyer system. Adjacent to the idle wheels is arranged a metal carrier link that connects to a chain or other device that moves along the conveyer system within the car wash. Most of these prior art systems used all metal components for the entire roller. This created very heavy and hard to manufacture rollers that increased the costs to the car wash operator. Also metal on metal wearing or rubbing may have caused grinding and reduce the effectivenes...
