ABSTRACT:
The vehicle drying or polishing apparatus is equipped with device moving the vehicle relative to the apparatus. A flexible, drivable, endless conveyor member (3) is guided in a horizontal plane above the path of the vehicle by a plurality of deviating wheels (7, 8) arranged on both longitudinal sides of the apparatus and rotating about vertical axes (V), and is provided with a plurality of narrow strips (5) of absorbent material, connected to the conveyor member and hanging down vertically therefrom, being movable by means of the conveyor member transverse to the path of relative movement of the vehicle. The conveyor member (3) has two strip-free sections (3a) whose respective lengths (L) correspond at least to the greatest vehicle width. The two sections (3b) of the conveyor member (3) lying between the strip-free sections (3a) are equipped with many strips (5) such that, in the rest position of the conveyor member (3) strips only hang down on the two sides of the vehicle, outside its path of relative movement, and within the path of relative movement two strip-free gaps are formed.
