Abstract: A tire/wheel bead entrapment remover is disclosed. The tire/wheel bead entrapment remover includes one or more working assemblies having a circumferential perimeter that substantially engages a tire. The one or more working assemblies axially-moves one of a wheel of the tire mounted to the wheel while axially-fixing the other of the tire or the wheel to remove one or more entrapments between a bead of the tire and a beat seat of the wheel. According to an embodiment, a tire/wheel bead entrapment remover includes one or more wheels that engages an outboard surface or an inboard surface of a tire mounted to a wheel. The radial axis extends through the one or more wheels. The radial axis traverses a radial line that radially extends from a common axis of rotation of the tire and the wheel. A method for removing an entrapment from a tire/wheel assembly is also disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method is disclosed herein whereby flexible drive members such as for example conventional V-belts may be automatically prestretched and tensioned to a particular predetermined value with both a high degree of reliability and repeatablity. The apparatus comprises a sensor for continuously monitoring the actual tension on the flexible member and providing a signal to a central control unit. A force generating apparatus is also interconnected with the central control unit and operates to exert a force such as to increase or decrease the tension to which the flexible member is subjected. Wrench means may also be provided which are connected to the central control unit and actuated thereby so as to lock the movable pulley member or the like in position once the predetermined tension has been achieved on the flexible interconnecting member.
