Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for spreading beads in a tire. Particular embodiments of such methods include securing at least a portion of a first bead of the tire and positioning a tire spreader within the central opening of the tire, the tire spreader having a bead engaging portion for engaging a portion of a second bead generally opposite the secured portion of the first bead. Such methods may further include automatically translating the bead engaging portion of the tire spreader generally in an axial direction of the tire to displace the engaged portion of the second bead a desired distance to increase the distance between the opposing beads to form a widened interior cavity opening.

Abstract: A method of preparing a tire for mounting includes providing a tire having a central axis and at least two bead portions, including a first bead portion and a second bead portion. The method also includes providing a plurality of members and moving the plurality of members outward until each of the plurality of members engages the first bead portion of the tire and causes the first bead portion to deflect outwards at a plurality of locations. The method further includes rotating at least one of the tire and the plurality of members about the central axis of the tire while the plurality of members engages the first bead portion of the tire.

Abstract: An improved wheel for a bicycle or similar vehicle has a segment in the rim of the wheel which is selectively removable from the usual circular path of the rim, creating a gap in the rim. The rim is then contracted to form a smaller circle. With the smaller diameter, a tire, with or without a tube, can be placed on, or removed from, the rim without the necessity to stretch or otherwise deform the tire or tube. The spokes are held with respect to the rim during contraction of the rim, so the spokes bow during contraction. A band extends around the rim to hold the spoke ends, and one end of the band spans the gap to maintain alignment of the rim so the rim is always circular.

Abstract: The tire spreading and inspecting machine of the present invention includes a frame for supporting a tire in an inspection position. Drive rollers are provided on the frame for rotating the tire about its axis and specially designed spread arms are arranged for engaging the beads of the tire and spreading them apart to permit inspection of the tire carcass. An offset in the spreading arms prevents the rollers from jumping out of the tire as the tire is rotated. Sidewall support rollers are also provided on the frame for contacting the sidewalls of the rotating tire to prevent the tire from collapsing before sufficient spread is achieved. This feature is particularly important when the machine is used for inspecting radial tires whose characteristics make inspection on conventional equipment impractical. Finally, a tire lift attached to the frame includes a lock and roller for applying pressure to the tire to prevent it from coming off the rollers during rotation.
