Abstract
A bead release device for tire removal machines comprises an arm (60) which at one end is intended to be hinged on a vertical axis (6) to the base (1) of a tire removal machine (100), while at its other end it supports a positionable bead release tool (66), the arm being coupled with unilateral engagement to the rod (9) of a pneumatic cylinder-piston unit which is associated with the base, the unilateral engagement being achieved by a plurality of aligned equidistant identical notches (111) provided in the end longitudinal portion of the rod and by a coupling member (18) which is provided on the arm (60) and is arranged to occupy a rest position in which it allows the arm (60) and the rod (9) to slide freely relative to each other, and a working position in which it maintains the arm and rod coupled together.
Claims5
A bead release device for tire removal machines, comprising:
- an arm which at one end is hinged on a vertical axis to a base of a tire removal machine, while at another end said arm supports a positionable bead release tool, said arm being coupled with unilateral engagement to a rod of a pneumatic cylinder-piston unit which is associated with said base to urge said bead release tool against a rim-tire assembly, in which said unilateral engagement is achieved by a plurality of aligned equidistant identical notches including a saw-tooth rack provided on an end longitudinal portion of said rod and by a coupling member which is provided on said arm, said coupling member is biased by an elastic means to occupy a rest position in which it allows said arm and said rod to slide freely relative to each other, and said coupling member also includes an operating means for placing said coupling member in a working position in which said coupling member maintains said arm and said rod coupled together.
