ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for automatically performing an operation such as washing, drying, buffing, polishing, finishing or the like on a motor vehicle as it is transported through a frame having an entrance, an exit, and an intermediate portion vertically spaced above the vehicle between the entrance and the exit. A support member extends across the intermediate portion of the frame and pivotally supports a pair of arms about a central portion thereof. One end of each of the arms pivotally supports a first rack on one side of the support while the opposite end of each of the arms pivotally supports a second rack on the opposite side of the support. Each of the racks has one or more pack units of finishing material suspended therefrom for washing, drying, buffing, polishing or otherwise finishing the motor vehicle. A rotating element is driven by a motor. A linkage member has one end pivotally connected to the rotating element and its opposite end pivotally connected to a portion of one of the arms at a point spaced from the central portion thereof such that the rotation of the element results in a generally arcuate back and forth motion of the racks in a horizontal plane to facilitate the operation being performed on the motor vehicle.
