Abstract
An apparatus (10) for stripping fluids from the surface of a vehicle includes an air distributor (28) and inflatable bags (14-26), each of generally rectangular transverse cross section. The bags (14-26) are supported by the air distributor (28) and each of the bags (14-26) includes an inlet end (40) connected to the air distributor (28) for introducing air under pressure into the bags (14-26) and a nozzle end (42) of smaller area than the inlet end (40) spaced apart from the inlet end (40) for emitting a stream of air while maintaining the bags (14-26) in a nonflailing orientation and substantially rigidly inflated. The invention is characterized by a connector strap (44) having one end portion (46) secured to a first of the bags (14, 18) and a second end portion (48) secured to a second of the bags (16, 20) and spaced along the bags (14-20) from the air distributor (28) for connecting the first bag (14-18) to the second bag (16-20) for properly positioning the second bag (16-20) in relation to a vehicle body when the first bag (14, 18) is deflected by the engaging vehicle (34).
