Abstract
The present invention relates to a tire assembling-disassembling tool for use in a tire assembling-disassembling machine arranged to rotatable support a tired wheel or wheel rim, said tool being cantilever supported on a respective guide member of the tire assembling-disassembling machine, said tool extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel and comprising a tool-carrying arm slidable mounted on said guide member, and at least one nail-shaped member having a first end thereof constrained to said supporting arm so to be able to made roto-translational movements with respect thereto, and the other free end hook-shaped with back facing said wheel rim.
Claims14
A tire assembling-disassembling machine comprising a support base arranged to support a tired wheel or wheel rim and to cause its rotation about an axis of rotation, at least one guide member extending substantially parallel to said axis of rotation upwards from said support, a tool-carrying arm which is slidably mounted on said guide member, and a plate like tool member having one free end thereof, said machine comprising constrain means designed to articulate on end of said plate-like tool member to said tool-carrying arm, thereby allowing rotational and translational movements of said tool member with respect to said tool-carrying arm as a function of a force applied to said tool member, said free end of said tool member being provided with a back facing said wheel rim.
