Automatic tire treatment system

Abstract

The instant invention provides a fully automated tire treatment system capable of applying chemical treatment uniformly to a tire sidewall. Employing a pair of tracks whereon a carriage and adjustable vending bracket is disposed thereon allows treatment of two tires simultaneously as the tires pass the device triggering a preprogrammed set of instructions though a microprocessor. The track is two elongated guides disposed in parallel relation to one another outboard of the stance posed by a conventional automobile. The carriage has a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the track and is movable along the length of the track. Each carriage employs a vending bracket having the ability to disburse moisture from the tire sidewall before dispensing of chemical by use of an atomizing spray nozzle. By use of a microprocessor, each tire is tracked in accordance with the velocity, dimensional size, and predetermined spatial proximity of an automobile tire as the automobile is moved along a prescribed path of travel. Once enabled, the carriage moves at the same velocity as the tire while the vending bracket is traversed into a position of close proximity to the tire. The vending bracket employs an air dryer for removing excess water from the tire and a vending spray nozzle having an atomized spray pattern. Upon treatment of the tire the vending bracket is retracted and the carriage returned to its original position.
