Abstract
An apparatus 10 for stripping fluid from the surface of a vehicle including a flexible inflatable bag 12 including an elongated bag inlet 14 having a predetermined cross-sectional area and an elongated opening at one end thereof defining a nozzle 16 and a plenum (20), the bag inlet 14 being mounted on the plenum 20 for the flow of air from the plenum 20 into the bag 12. A pair of bag-retaining rods 30 extend the length of the bag inlet 14 on each side thereof and saddle members 32 are disposed between the retaining rods 30 for positioning the retaining rods (30). The assembly is characterized by including a hinging control rod 50 and adjustable connecting members 52, 54 for connecting the hinging control rod 50 to a first of the retaining rods 30 and adjacent to the outer surface 34 of the saddle members 32 and against the opposite side of the bag 12 relative to the first retaining rod 30 to vary the position of the hinging control rod along the outer surface 34 of the saddle members 32 to engage the bag 12 at varying degrees, thereby selectively varying the cross-sectional area of the bag inlet 14.
