Abstract
A nozzle for seating a tubeless tire on a rim using pressurized gas includes a coupling neck configured to accept the pressurized gas from a pressurized tank, a choke point adapter connected to the coupling neck and a nozzle body configured with a nozzle output. Pressurized air introduced into the coupling neck pass through the nozzle and exits the nozzle output in a burst of the pressurized gas that is directed between the tubeless tire and the rim to inflate the tire. The choke point adapter has a chokepoint surface with a chokepoint angle of sufficient angle to aid in reducing the recoil of the tubeless tire seating device.
Claims17
A nozzle for seating a tubeless tire on a rim using pressurized gas, the nozzle comprising:
- a nozzle body configured with a nozzle output;
- a coupling neck configured to accept the pressurized gas;
- at least two nozzle outlet holes at a distal end of the nozzle, wherein the nozzle output includes the at least two nozzle outlet holes;
- a vent spanning between the at least two nozzle outlet holes, wherein the nozzle output includes the at least two nozzle outlet holes;
- wherein the coupling neck and the nozzle body are in gaseous communication such that the pressurized gas entering the coupling neck passes through the nozzle body and exits the at least two nozzle outlet holes and the vent in a burst of the pressurized gas directed into a gap between the tubeless tire and the rim;
- and
- wherein the vent spanning between the at least two nozzle outlet holes continuously extends between the at least two nozzle outlet holes.
A nozzle for seating a tubeless tire on a rim using pressurized gas, the nozzle comprising:
- a coupling neck with threads that match the threads of a tank holding the pressurized gas allowing the coupling neck to be screwed onto the tank, the coupling neck configured to accept the pressurized gas;
- a nozzle body configured with a nozzle output, the nozzle body in gaseous communication with the coupling neck;
- at least two nozzle outlet holes at a distal end of the nozzle, wherein the nozzle output includes the at least two nozzle outlet holes;
- a vent spanning between the at least two nozzle outlet holes, wherein the nozzle output includes the at least two nozzle outlet holes;
- wherein the pressurized gas entering the coupling neck from the tank passes through the nozzle body and exits the at least two nozzle outlet holes and the vent in a burst of the pressurized gas directed into a gap between the tubeless tire and the rim;
- and
- wherein the vent spanning between the at least two nozzle outlet holes continuously extends between the at least two nozzle outlet holes.
