Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in or with reference to apparatus for 3.
  • the fitting and removal is effected by means of a lever, one end of which engages the hub of the wheel, while the other end strikes against the ground; 7 v
  • the member which slides along the rim is provided with a rotatable diskv and .two rollers; the disk and one ofthe said rollers engage the tire to be mounted.
  • both beads of the cover are lifted up to the level of the outer edge of the rim when thejdisk is pressed into the'igroove or depression above the bead, while one of the rollers is pressed against the bead itself at a point somewhat in advance of the point where the disk engages the cover; by these means the tire .is fitted into itsproper -position and the. beads areforced into the corresponding rim.
  • F lgure 1 is a perspective-view ofa tire lever.
  • -F1g.-2 is a similar view of the member with thelever. 1 Figs 3, 4, 5 and 6 illustrate the manner of. tting the tire on the wheel. f F1 gs. 7', 8,9 and 10. illustrate how the tireis removed.
  • F g. 1 l is the tire lever, having ne of 1 ts endstapered;.2 is'a hook, 3 is v.a pro ection serving as a fulcrum when .the tire lever. 1s employedfor removing. tires whose beads firmly "adhere to the rim; 4, 5' and 6 are holes havingsuch asize that the lever '14 can be pressed therethrough.
  • 30-31 is a double-arrow indicating the length of that part of the, tire which in the position illustrated in Fig. 6 has already been forced into the rim.
  • Fig. 8 32 is an arrow showing the direction in which .the annular member; or ring of the lever must'be turned in order that the latter may assume the pos1t1on illustrated in Fig. 9.
  • the air tube is slightly inflated and placed into the cover, and then brought into the rim with the air valve in the proper posi- Both' beads are forced into the respective rim grooves at the top side of the rim, and the outer bead is kept by the tire lever in the corresponding rim groove through a small distance of the rim periphery.
  • annular member or ring of the'lever is then passed around the end portion of the wheel hub and the sliding member is placed so that its two hooks engage the outer rim edge. (Figs. 1 and 5).
  • the wheel is then turned in a direction oppositeto that indicated by the arrow 26 and then forcibly turned again in the direction of the arrow, so that the lever strikes a second time upon the ground, and this process is repeatedfuntil the wholetire has been brought into its proper position.
  • the operation may becarrie'd out by braking it and by displacing the lever 14;, or the wheel may be turned by means of the motor.
  • the air tube is deflated when the operation is as follows If, as is frequentlyithe case, the tire firmly adheres to the rim, the end of the tire lever arm it is now an easy matter to force the tire out of the rim groove.
  • the wheel is turned in a direction op posite to that indicated by the arrow 34 one or more times, and then forcibly turnedin the direction of the said arrow, by which the lever l l strikes the ground. Owing to the momentum of-the wheel the lever is dis placed between the rim and the tireand the tire is released. --During this movementthe annular member or'ring 15-of the -lever 14 must, as a matter of course, be'kept around the hub of the wheel. I 1 T In order to prevent the wheel hub from being damaged by the ring 15, the latter may be covered with some soft material such as leather, or a sleeve of such material may be placed around the hub.
  • a removable grooved ring offiberor some other suitable material may be fitted around the lever just at the level of the rim edge, the said ring being adapted to roll along the rim edge.
  • a lever having an annular end portion adapted to be passed around the wheel hub, a transversely disposed sliding'member on said lever provided with hooks for engaging the rim edge of the wheel, a roller near the end of-the sliding member adapted to be pressed against the bead. ofthe'tire, and'a disk rotatable about the lever and adapted to be pressed into the depression of the tire above the bead, permitting the mounting of both beads simultaneously on the wheel.
  • a lever having an annular end portion adapted to be passed around the wheel hub, a transverse sliding member on said lever provided with hooks for engaging the rim edge of the wheel, a roller near each of the ends of the sliding member adapted to be pressed against the bead of the tire, and a disk rotatable about and mounted slidably upon the lever and adapted to be pressed 15 into the depression of the cover above the bead, permitting the mounting of both beads simultaneously on the wheel.
