<p>A brake drum encapulsator (18) includes a wire frame (33) in a generally cylindrical shape with a cover (34) surrounding the frame (33) and having a closed end (44) and an open end. The brake drum assembly is received in the open end of the cover (34) which is then closed about the brake drum and evacuated. The cover (34) is made of a material which is light weight, flexible, transparent and gas impermeable to give the operator full visibility to the interior. The cover (34) has a pair of gloves (45, 46) integrally formed in it to permit the operator to have access to the interior. A hand-operated air gun (49, 50) for cleaning the brake drums is also attached to the closed end (44) of the cover (34), which preferably has a frustoconical portion which allows the operator to move his hands and the air gun back and forth as well as laterally within the encapsulator for servicing the brake drum.</p> |
