Abstract: Vehicular tires, mounted on wheel rims, are more safely inflated in rugged box enclosing entire tire-and-wheel-rim assembly, using inflating line that penetrates through wall of box, with pressure gauge visible from outside of box. Interlocks can be provided to help assure that box must be closed before inflation can be started, and that box cannot be opened for 3 to 10 minutes after inflation is completed. Window can be provided for visually inspecting tire-and-wheel-rim assembly during or after inflation, and deflation valve permits deflation if the inflation appears unsafe. Box can have welded-on re-enforcements.
