Abstract
An installation method and a guiding structure for a connector of a tubeless rim, wherein the method is to use one end of a wire to fix a magnetic attraction element, and the other end of the wire to hook at a connector by an elastic hook which can disengage from the connector after being forced to deform. With the abovementioned method and the structure, the present invention can use the wire to quickly position the connector and quickly detach the wire. Hence, the installation of the connector of a tubeless rim can be greatly simplified and the connector can not be restricted by the raw edge or the installation direction.

A connector-installing method for a tubeless rim comprising the steps of:
- a. fixing a magnetic attraction element to one end of a wire and positioning a connector by an elastic hook of the other end of the wire;
- b. putting the wire and the magnetic attraction element into an inner space of a tubeless rim;
- c. using a strong magnetic element to attract the magnetic attraction element to go through a spoke-connecting hole;
- and
- d. using the wire to pull the connector to smoothly go into the spoke-connecting hole and pulling the wire with a predetermined force, so as to cause a curving portion of the wire to deform for quickly releasing the connector.
A guiding structure for a connector of a tubeless rim comprising a wire, a magnetic attraction element, an elastic hook and a connector, wherein:
- the magnetic attraction element is fixed on one end of the wire;
- the elastic hook is fixed on the other end of the wire and includes a curving portion with elastic deformation property and a hook portion;
- and
- the connector is axially formed with a through hole at a center thereof, and a surface of the though hole located correspondingly to a connecting rod is formed with inner threads, and the though hole is used for a passage of the wire and the elastic hook.
