Abstract: A device and a method for obtaining information about a wheel, the device including a penetrating body for at least partially inserting between a tire and a rim of a wheel, and a unit for acquiring the images, the unit being installed on a portion of the penetrating body which is designed to be positioned in an internal space between the tire and the rim.

Abstract: A tire mounting/dismounting machine (1), comprising a base (2), rotating means (3) for supporting and blocking a wheel (100) and a column (4) associated to the base (2), a first arm (7) and a second arm (8) being slidably mounted on the column (4), an upper first debeader tool (13) and a lower second debeader tool (9) being mounted respective at free ends of each arm (7, 8). Mounted at the free end of the first arm (7) is a head (10) which is rotatable with respect to an axis (Y), from which head a mounting tool (11), a dismounting tool (12) and the first debeader tool (13) project, the tools (11, 12, 13) being mounted in reciprocal positions such that the tools (11, 12, 13) do not interfere with one another and such that by rotating the head (10) with respect to the first arm (7) a same work position can be reached for each of the tools (11, 12, 13).

Abstract: A device and a method for obtaining information about a wheel (100), the device comprising a penetrating body (72) for at least partially inserting between a tyre (101) and a rim (102) of a wheel (100), and means (73) for acquiring the images, the means (73) being installed on a portion of the penetrating body (72) which is designed to be positioned in an internal space between the tyre (101) and the rim (102).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved device for tire disassembling machines in general, designed to simplify tire assembling on rim without excessive stretching.

Abstract: A lift for vehicles comprises two parallel ramps for loading the vehicles which can be actuated so as to move vertically. The ramps have concurrent ends which are rigidly coupled to the cross-member of a portal-like frame, with the cross-member being actuatable with a vertical translational parallel motion by way of corresponding actuation along a pair of posts. Corresponding grid-like frames, with rods hinged in a scissor-like arrangement for the constant resting of said ramps on a resting surface and/or floor, are provided below each ramp.

Abstract: The machine comprises a working station (P) and a fixed bed (10) disposed to the rear side of the working station (P). For rotating a wheel (20) there is provided a unit which is carried by a support bracket (30) connected to the fixed bed (10) in such a manner as to be able to swivel about a horizontal axis (A) passing through the working station (P), and comprises, for rigidly locking the wheel rim, a motorized mandrel (32) disposed with its axis (B) perpendicular to and cutting or nearly cutting the swivel axis (A), so that the tire of the wheel (20) carried by the mandrel (32) is traversed, in a virtually central position, by the swivel axis (A) of the support bracket (30). The machine also comprises means (12) for swivelling the support bracket (30) between two operative positions, in the first of which the axis of rotation (B) of the wheel is disposed in a horizontal position, and in the second of which the axis of rotation (B) of the wheel is disposed in a vertical position.

Abstract: A tool for mounting and removing tires onto and from respective wheel rims comprises a profiled body mounted on a cylindrical shank provided at the end of a tool holder bar associated with a tire removal machine. The body has two active portions: the blade and the head. The blade and the head extend from two parts comprising coaxial hubs, both of which are mounted on the cylindrical shank of the tool holder bar and removably coupled together such that their mutual orientations can be adjusted. At least one of the hubs is provided with means for torsionally locking the hub to the shank.

Abstract: Tool for mounting and removing tires onto and from respective wheel rims comprises a profiled body to be mounted on a cylindrical shank (2) provided at the end of a tool holder bar (1) associated with a tire removal machine, the body having two active portions, known as the blade (5) and head (6) respectively, extending from two parts (20, 22) comprising coaxial hubs (200, 220) both mounted on said cylindrical shank (2) of said tool holder bar and removably coupled together such that their mutual orientation can be adjusted, at least one of said hubs (200, 220) being provided with means for torsionally locking it to said shank.

Abstract: The tyre removal machine comprises a frame (1) which contains a rotatable vertical shaft (6) carrying a self-centering unit (2), and is provided with a rear column (3) for supporting a tyre mounting/removal tool (10), and a rotatable arm (13) for supporting a bead release tool (12), and further comprises at least one flexible element (35) which at one end is connected to the rod (112) of a double-acting pneumatic cylinder-piston unit (11), its other end forking into two branches (130, 131) which wind in opposing directions about two coaxial pulleys (30, 31) which are idly mounted on the shaft (6) and with which there are associated respective coupling devices for making them selectively rigid with this latter, and a mechanism (34) to cause them to rotate in order to rewind the branches (130, 131).
