Abstract:
1. A wheel washing assembly, comprising: a machine frame; a pendulum assembly pivotably supported on said machine frame; two washing manifolds, including a first washing manifold and a second washing manifold, attached to said pendulum assembly, each of said washing manifolds having a nozzle assembly for ejecting water at a wheel to be washed, said washing manifolds being pivotable between a start washing position and an end washing position by an automatic motion of said pendulum assembly, said washing manifolds further automatically tracking the wheels to be washed by a motion of one of the wheels; a pendulum base frame having a recess formed therein and disposed beneath said machine frame, said first washing manifold following along a track defined by said pendulum base frame; and said first washing manifold having a roller assembly which falls fully into said recess for allowing the wheel to traverse fully over and past said roller assembly, and upon the wheel fully traversing past said roller assembly, said pendulum assembly automatically initiating a pivoting motion from the end washing position to the start washing position due to a force of gravity and a position of said pendulum assembly.
