Portable self-contained water supply and pressurized method of distributing water

Abstract

This is a portable, pressurized washing system for use in various situations. It is designed to provide low power, medium to low pressure water at high volumes. Its initial application is for use in equestrian applications. The basic design allows for easy mounting inside a horse trailer, and will supply water under pressure to a user outside the trailer who wishes to hose off a horse, equipment or the trailer itself. There are obviously other applications outside equestrian uses, such as but not limited to, mountain biking, motor-crossing or even SCUBA diving.

1 . A portable water supply device comprising: 
 a water container,    a device for extracting water under pressure,    a device for directing water to an ultimate source,    a power system for the portable water supply device,    and a method to secure the portable water supply device into any type of apparatus capable of locomotion, including, but not limited to, vehicles, boats, airplanes, trains and bicycles.    
   
   
       2 . A water container of  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a container made from any lightweight, durable material, such as, but not limited to the plastic HDPE family of materials.    
   
   
       3 . A water container of  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a hose storage compartment.    
   
   
       4 . A water container of  claim 2  further comprising: 
 a hole with cap for filling said water container, and a water siphon port.    
   
   
       5 . A water container of  claim 4  further comprising: 
 handlebar mounts,    durable handlebars, such as, but not limited to, chrome plated handlebars,    a hold-down hooking mechanism,    wheel axle mounts,    a wheel axle with retaining nuts and washers,    a set of wheels,    and a front resting foot.    
   
   
       6 . A water container as in claims  1 ,  2 ,  3 ,  4  or  5  further comprising: 
 a battery compartment.    
   
   
       7 . A device for extracting water under pressure of  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a pump,    a siphon tube with compression fittings,    and a means to mount said pump.    
   
   
       8 . A pump of  claim 7  further comprising: 
 a low voltage DC self-priming, auto shutoff water pump.    
   
   
       9 . A means to mount a pump of  claim 7  further comprising: 
 a rigid platform, such as, but not limited to, galvanized steel plate with the ability to mount the pump to the main water tank.    
   
   
       10 . A means to mount a pump of  claim 7  further comprising: 
 a platform molded onto a water container to which the pump is affixed.    
   
   
       11 . A system for powering the portable water supply device, the system comprising: 
 a DC power source,    a means of engaging and disengaging the power; and    an power indicator lamp;    
   
   
       12 . A power source of  claim 11  further comprising: 
 a self contained battery, such as, but not limited to, a standard lead acid battery.    
   
   
       13 . A power source of  claim 11  further comprising: 
 an external power source, such as, but not limited to, a vehicle battery, of the locomotion apparatus in which the portable water supply device is affixed.    
   
   
       14 . A means of engaging and disengaging the power of  claim 10  further comprising an on/off toggle switch.  
   
   
       15 . A on/off toggle switch of  claim 13  further comprising: 
 an environmentally sealed, single pole, single throw (SPST) toggle switch.    
   
   
       16 . A method of mounting the portable water supply device of  claim 1 , the system comprising: 
 straps to hold the device in place inside or alongside a locomotion device.    
   
   
       17 . A method of mounting the portable water supply device of  claim 1 , the system comprising: 
 using an already available storage compartment of a locomotion apparatus.    
   
   
       18 . A method of mounting the portable water supply device of  claim 1 , the system comprising: 
 mounting a steel bracket to the floor of a locomotion appartus;    tilting the portable water supply device such that the water container hold-down hooking device slides onto the steel bracket;    securing the handlebars to the interior sides of the locomotion apparatus by use of securing straps, such as, but not limited to, bungee cords or Velcro straps.
