IMPROVED TIRE BEAD SEATER

摘要

An arcuate housing defining a plenum with a valve for attaching a source of air under pressure thereto and jets in communication with said plenum forming a plurality of jets of air and directing the jets of air so they will enter the space between the bead of a tire and the upper rim when the housing is coaxially positioned adjacent the rim. The high velocity jets of air raise the pressure within the tire quickly to a value sufficient to seat the bead on the rim while the jets compose substantially less than a continuous circle.
