PCT No. PCT/DK82/00109 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 16, 1983 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 16, 1983 PCT Filed Dec. 8, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO83/02100 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 23, 1983.A vehicle for deicing aircraft comprises an undercarriage (1) having a lifting device (4,5,6,7) carrying a closed operation cabin (3). The vehicle includes a spray device for applying spray fluid to the aircraft, and this spray device comprises a pump and a connected spray nozzle. To avoid frequent adjustments of the position of the carriage and to allow spray operations close to the areas to be sprayed, the spray nozzle is supported on a longitudinally adjustable lightweight boom (20) carried by the cabin (3). The cabin (3) is further pivotally supported by a turntable construction (15,16) relative to the carriage (1). The nozzle is also connected to remote control devices in the cabin (3) for pivotal movement of the nozzle about two axes extending perpendicular to each other. The two pivot axes are appropriately intersecting in a point coinciding with the direction of the jet from the nozzle.

I claim:
1. A vehicle for deicing aircraft and of the type comprising a wheeled carriage (1) having a lifting device (4,5,6,7) which at its free end carries an operation platform, and having a spray device for spraying an aircraft with a deicing fluid, said spray device comprising a pump including a spray nozzle (40), the lifting device (4,5,6,7) being adapted for elevating and lowering so as to retain the center of gravity of the total mass of the equipment within the area determined by the wheels of the carriage, the operation platform including a closed protective cabin (3) pivotally supported on said lifting device (4,5,6,7), wherein the cabin (3) carries a longitudinally adjustable, lightweight boom (20) carrying at its free end the spray nozzle (40), said nozzle being pivotal about each of two axes extending perpendicular to each other and intersecting at a point located on the longitudinal axis of discharge from said nozzle in order to prevent displacement of the nozzle by reaction force generated by the spray discharged therefrom, said nozzle being supported for said pivotal movement about said axes by respective support means driven by respective activator means remotely controlled from said cabin.
