<p>A tire insert attachment apparatus (20) includes a pin (21) attached to a first part (12) of the insert (10) and extending into a second part (13) of the insert to engage an actuator that draws the bolt into the second part. The actuator includes a tool engagement head (23) that transmits rotational motion of a tool to a translator (22) via a converter (24), the converter transforming the rotational motion of the head into linear motion imparted on the translator. The translator can be a rack and pinion setup or can be a thread arrangement. Preferably, the head rotates a worm, which rotates a pinion that has threads formed on an inner surface and engaging mating threads on the pin, the pin taking the form of a bolt, such as an eyebolt.</p> |
