frame 10 also includes aside panel 46 integrally formed with and extending between the legs 36B, 36C. Theside panel 46 assists in strengthening and balancing theframe 10 when theframe 10 is supported on the surface. Theframe 10 also includes asecond side panel 50 integrally formed with and extending between the legs 36A, 36D. In some embodiments, theframe 10 also includes an integrally formed front panel 54 (shown in shadow inFIG. 1 ) that is operable to display indicia about the pressure washer, such as the brand name of the pressure washer and/or the pressure of the fluid output by the pressure washer. - The
frame 10 further includes ahandle 58 integrally formed as one piece with thebase 14. Thehandle 58 is angled with respect to the base 14 in the YZ-plane and forms an acute included angle H with thebase 14. With reference toFIG. 5 , thehandle 58 includes a pair of downwardly extendingsupport members first axis 70 and asecond axis 74, respectively. Each of the first andsecond axes support members first leg 34A andsecond leg 34B. It is understood that in other embodiments, thesupport members - The
handle 58 also includes anupper end 78 having a width W2. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , the first andsecond axes upper end 78 of thehandle 58 in the XY-plane. As is best shown inFIG. 4 , theupper end 78 also includes a plurality ofgrip ridges 80 integrally formed thereon to assist a user in gripping thehandle 58 to move theframe 10 from a first location to a second location. - An integrally formed
accessory holder 82 is also located near theupper end 78 on thehandle 58. Theaccessory holder 82 is adapted to store the various accessories that may be used with the pressure washer when those accessories are not in use. With reference toFIGS. 1 and 2 , theaccessory holder 82 includes afirst aperture 86 sized to receive agun 90 for use with the pressure washer. The accessory holder ofFIG. 2 also includes asecond aperture 94 andthird aperture 98 sized to receivewands gun 90. As shown, thewands nozzle nozzle 110 is a nozzle known as a high/low nozzle in the art. Thenozzle 110 is moved axially to change the water pressure coming out of the nozzle and can also be rotated to change the width of the water spray from thenozzle 110. Thenozzle 114 is a conical shaped nozzle known in the art as a turbo nozzle that outputs a rotating circular spray pattern. It is understood that the accessory holder may also be adapted to hold a standard set of non-adjustable nozzles that are commonly sold with pressure washers by including additional apertures in theaccessory holder 82, or by varying the size of the first, second, andthird apertures accessory holder 82 also functions to hold ahose 118 that is coupled to the pressure washer. - With reference to
FIG. 6 , theframe 10 is stackable before theengine 18 is coupled to thebase 14. With reference also toFIG. 5 , the width W2 of theupper end 78 of thehandle 58 is less than the width W1 of thefootprint 42. Because the width W2 is less than the width W1, the angles A, B are obtuse with respect to the base 14 in the XY-plane and the angles E, F are acute with respect to theupper end 78 in the XY-plane. This allows thelegs 34A-D of asecond frame 10 b to slide over thehandle 58 andlegs 34A-D of thefirst frame 10 a, and thelegs 34A-D of athird frame 10 c to slide over thehandle 58 andlegs 34A-D of thesecond frame 10 b. The rearward angle H of thehandle 58 in the YZ-plane stabilizes the weight of theframe 10 and allows the stacking of theframes - Various features of the invention are found in the following claims.
