Moisture removal assembly

A moisture removal assembly of the type primarily designed to be mounted adjacent a wheel rim engaging brake shoe and pad, said assembly comprising:

• base means, dimensioned and configured for mounting engagement with the brake shoe, wiper blade means attached to said base means and extending outwardly therefrom into sliding engagement with the wheel rim, a stabilizing means secured to said base means and disposed to extend outwardly therefrom into at least partial overhanging relation to the brake shoe, whereby relative rotation between the brake shoe and said base means is limited through disposition of said stabilizing means, stabilizing means comprises at least two stabilizing elements projecting outwardly from opposite side portions of said base means in overlapping relation to opposite side portions of the brake shoe, said blade means formed from a substantially flexible material and disposed in spaced apart relation from the brake shoe and pad so as to engage the wheel rim prior to the pad when the wheel rim rotates in a predetermined direction, whereby moisture is removed from the wheel rim prior to engagement with the brake pad so as to avoid slippage therebetween.
