ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for cleaning the annular bead seating profile of a tire rim. The tire rim is supported with the central axis of the rim disposed in a predetermined orientation. A cleaning brush is rotatable about an axis, and means are provided for rotating the cleaning brush about the axis. Means are provided for supporting the cleaning brush in an orientation in which it engages the bead seating profile at the outer peripheral surface of the tire rim as the cleaning brush rotates about its axis. Additionally, means are provided for maintaining the cleaning brush under a predetermined state of pressure against the bead seating profile of the tire rim, the tire rim and the cleaning brush also being supported in such a manner that the cleaning brush can orbit relative to the outer peripheral surface of the tire rim while the cleaning brush is maintained in said predetermined orientation and in said predetermined state of pressure against the bead seating profile of the rim, to effect cleaning of the bead seating profile of the tire rim as the cleaning brush rotates about its axis and orbits relative to the outer peripheral surface of the tire rim.
