Abstract

An apparatus for cleaning a surface area includes a vacuum intake port having at least one air induction port, two or more spray jets offset from one another and oriented at an angle ranging from about 30° to about 60° relative to the surface, and a venturi shaped splashguard that extends down to approximately ½ inch above a plane defined by a bottom surface of the vacuum intake port.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wand head for cleaning a surface, comprising: at least one spray jet, wherein said spray jet is oriented at an angle ranging from about 30° to about 60° relative to said surface.  
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said wand head further comprises a vacuum intake port and at least one air induction port providing fluid communication between an atmosphere and said vacuum intake port.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said wand head further comprises a splashguard having a venturi shape.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said wand head further comprises a vacuum intake port and a splashguard configured to extend down to less than approximately ½ inch above a plane defined by a bottom surface of said vacuum intake port.  
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said splashguard is configured to extend down to between approximately ⅛ inch and approximately ¼ inch above said plane.  
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said wand head comprises a plurality of spray jets, wherein said spray jets are offset from one another.  
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one humidity control orifice formed in a vacuum tube couple of said wand head.  
   
   
       8 . A wand head for cleaning a surface, comprising: 
 a vacuum intake port having a front face, a back face and sides, wherein said vacuum intake port includes two or more air induction ports on said sides.    
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of spray jets, wherein said jets are oriented at an angle ranging from approximately 30° to approximately 60° relative to said surface.  
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein said jets are offset from one another.  
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , further comprising a splashguard and a shield, said splash guard comprising a venturi shape.  
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , further comprising at least one air induction port formed on said back face, wherein said air induction port includes an orifice formed in said back face, said orifice originating on a bottom edge of said back face.  
   
   
       13 . An apparatus for cleaning a surface, comprising: 
 a vacuum intake port;    a plurality of spray jets;    a splashguard; and    a shield; 
 wherein said splashguard is venturi shaped configured to extend down to less than approximately ½ inch above a plane defined by a bottom surface of said vacuum intake port.  
   
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein said splashguard is configured to extend down to between approximately ⅛ inch and approximately ¼ inch above said plane.  
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein said spray jets are oriented at an angle ranging from about 30° to about 60° relative to said surface, and wherein said spray jets are offset from one another.  
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , further comprising at least one air induction port formed in said vacuum intake port, wherein said at least one air induction port extends from a bottom surface of said vacuum intake port.  
   
   
       17 . An apparatus for cleaning a surface, comprising: 
 two or more spray jets offset from one another and oriented at an angle ranging from about 30° to about 60° relative to said surface;    a vacuum intake port having a bottom surface and at least one air induction port formed in said bottom surface; and    a splashguard; wherein said splashguard is venturi shaped and is configured to extend down to less than approximately ½ inch above a plane defined by said bottom surface.    
   
   
       18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , further comprising: 
 a vacuum tube couple formed on said apparatus configured to couple said apparatus to a vaccum;    wherein said vacuum tube couple is coupled to said vacuum intake port adjacent to said spray jets; and    at least one humidity control orifice formed in said vacuum tube couple.    
   
   
       19 . A method of forming a wand head for cleaning a surface, comprising: 
 forming a vacuum intake port;    forming at least one air induction port on said vacuum intake port;    coupling at least one spray jet to said vacuum intake port at an angle ranging from about 30° to about 60° relative to said surface; and    removably coupling a splashguard to said vacuum intake port.    
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising removably coupling said splashguard such that said splashguard extends down to less than approximately ½ inch above a plane defined by a bottom surface of said vacuum port.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 20 , further comprising removably coupling said splashguard such that said splashguard extends down to between approximately ⅛ inch to approximately ¼ inch above said plane.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein said splashguard comprises a venturi-shape.
