Abstract:
A tire spoon holder is provided. The tire spoon holder may include: a first and second handle; a first and second jaw, each jaw connected to at least one of the handles wherein the jaws are configured to come together when the handles are moved toward each other; and a loop attached to at least one jaw or handle. A method of attaching a tire spoon to a wheel rim may be provided. The method may include: attaching a tire spoon holder to a wheel rim; slipping a tire spoon through a loop in the tire spoon holder; and inserting a flat portion of the tire spoon between a tire and the wheel rim.

Abstract:
A portable, lightweight, tire bead breaking apparatus includes a vertically oriented frame disposed upon a wheeled base. A hydraulically actuated ram is pivotally mounted to the frame. A bead breaking shoe is attached to a distal end of the ram, and engages the beaded edge of a tire mounted upon a swivel pan rotatably mounted to the base. The bead breaking operator is able to simultaneously operate the ram, while rotating the tire disposed upon the swivel pan.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a device for hydraulically demounting a tire of a heavy duty vehicle consisting of a tire (6) and a rim (8), wherein, a plurality of oil cylinder installation holes (5) are evenly distributed on the periphery of an end face of an integrated side seat ring (4), a hydraulic oil cylinder (1) is disposed above each of the oil cylinder installation holes (5), the position of each of the oil cylinder installation holes (5) corresponds to the position of bead heel of the tire (7), the integrated side seat ring (4) is disposed on a face of the rim (8) that is in contact with the tire, the hydraulic oil cylinder (1) is provided with an oil cylinder ejecting rod (2), one end of the oil cylinder ejecting rod (2) that is inserted into one of the oil cylinder installation holes (5) is connected to a T-type cylindrical pushing plate (3), and the T-type cylindrical pushing plate (3) is located closely to the bead heel of the tire (7), and each of the oil cylinder installation holes (5) is provided with a dust preventing cover (9). This device has the advantages such as strong demounting power, safe demounting operation, long service life of the rim, and reduced demounting and repair costs.
Abstract:
A mobile bead breaker (100) may be provided comprising a pair of conjoined housings (102, 104). In a first of such housings (104) may be the control and drive mechanisms of the present invention including a pump, hydraulic ram (118), a vertical guide plate (114) and the apparatus' controls. In the second of such housings (102) may be located a supporting wall (122) and for smaller tires a positioning rod (126) for locating and then maintaining the tire/rim assembly in a stationary vertical position for engagement by the bead breaker mechanism. The bead breaker mechanism, additionally located within the second housing (102), may be a spider assembly (200) comprising a plurality of legs (202) equally spaced about a central hub (206). The central hub (206) of such spider assembly (200) may be mounted to the hydraulic ram (118). When the ram (118) is activated, the spider assembly (200) moves toward and engages the tire/rim assembly about the bead of the tire to break the rim/bead seal.
