MACHINE FOR USE IN FITTING/REMOVING TYRES

摘要

The machine for fitting or removing radial carcase tyres (1) comprises at least one knurled wheel support (5) fixed with respect to the axis of rotation (6) of the rim, the said knurled wheel (5) being free to rotate about an axis (52) connected to the said support and being provided with two inclinations of less than 90 DEG . The axis of rotation (52) of the knurled wheel (5) is offset by a length less than the radius of the rim (2) with respect to the said radial reference plane and in the direction of the rotational movement imparted to the rim.
