This one I came up with after having a father that likes airplane clean windows. I also experienced much trouble keeping my windows clean on the road. The automatic washer just doesnt quite "scrub" like what's needed to remove the bugs. I was listening to Art Bell one night, as I often do, talking about how hard the bugs were to get off the front of his land yacht if allowed to harden, and so on...

This device is basically a normal squigee with a couple of exceptions. First of all there is a reservoir to contain washer fluid or water. This is filled from a convienient source, and carried with you on your journey. If built correctly, the unit wont leak, and the fluid it contains could wash your windows, or bugs of the front of your rig, at least twenty times before it needs refilling.

This drawing shows the second embodiment, which dispenses a spray of water through a small hole, on the sponge side of the washer. The first embodiment involved simply pushing the fluid through the sponge, however this would tend to use more fluid for a given task, and would also create problems with "dripage" when returned to the carrying case.

Yes there would be a carrying case, to prevent spillage in the unlikely event that water was used, and it was stored in the vehicle at sub zero temperatures for long periods of time. The carrying case would also allow for the first embodiment to be used more effectively, as a bottle full of refill solution could be stored within the same case, making the liquid flowing through the sponge more desirable.
