  • Patent number: 5309931
    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.
