  • Inflating tool for tires
    Patent number: 5570733
    Abstract: A tire bead seating tool for tubeless tires that initializes a sealing contact between the beads of a tire and the flanges of a wheel rim to enable inflating the tire through a valve stem of the wheel rim. The tool utilizes a valve controlled large volume, high pressure jet of air that is injected into the cavity of a deflated tire that has been mounted on a wheel rim. The jet of air is directed into the cavity through the space between the tire bead and the wheel rim flange. The large volume, high pressure jet of air will, due to the increased pressure generated within the cavity, force the sidewalls of the tire outward to move the beads of the tire into sealing contact with the wheel rim flanges.
