The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention provides a tire cleaning and puncture-prevention system (100) configured to remove ferrous road debris from a rotating tire. The system comprises a rotating brush assembly (101) adjacent to a tire, wherein a magnetic element attracts and retains nails, metallic fragments, and other ferrous debris from a tire tread during movement. The brush assembly (101) transports captured debris toward a release zone comprising a magnet shield (106), opposing polarity magnet, mechanical comb, and/or deactivated electromagnet. A removable collector tray (102) receives released debris and includes a one-way flap (104) for preventing re-entry toward the tire. A tray fill sensor (103), drive/motor assembly (107), and controller (108) regulate brush operation and magnetic activation according to parameters including wheel speed, steering angle, brush position, and tray fill level, thereby reducing puncture risk and improving safety
