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 invention relates to a mounting device for mounting or demounting a tyre of a vehicle onto or from a rim, with at least a rotating body which rotates about an axis.

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 switch comprising a switch body and a control actuator, which can be associated with a control button and can move with respect to the switch body, the control actuator having a receptacle for a light source at a containment portion which is directed toward the button: the switch body is provided with fixing elements for a panel, by backpanel insertion, which comprise at least two abutment portions and at least two locking elements which act, with the panel in the mounted position, respectively at opposite faces of the panel, the two locking elements being arranged proximate to the button. Elements for detachable connection between the button and the control actuator are also provided.

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: Tire removal machine with manually or automatically positionable turret comprising a casing supporting a rotatable plate provided with self-centering jaws; a vertical column rising to the side of the plate; a shaft slidable horizontally relative to the column and lockable in position; a sleeve rigid with said shaft and within which the tool holder turret slides vertically, said turret being associated with a spring which maintains the turret spaced from said plate; pneumatic means for locking said shaft and said turret in position; and turret operating and locking means controlled independently by two three-way slide valves which can be switched between an active position in which the compressed air feed line communicates with the delivery lines of said turret operating and locking means, and an inactive position in which said delivery lines are connected to a discharge line respectively, said two slide valves being both associated with a single trigger the operation of which switches them into their inactive

Abstract: Housing (1, 20) for lodging conventional flat keys or keys of a special kind (2, 2a, 2b'-2b", 2c, 2d), in a safe but removable way. The laminar housing (1, 20) is realized by elastically flexible plastic material s of a type and form like a rectangular "credit card", and it is provided with a central opening (5, 21) whose peripheral edge (10, 22) defines a space for lodging a key or more superimposed keys. At the site of the opening (5, 21), elastic seizing elements (7--7) may project out of the housing (1, 20) acting on the lateral fins of the heads (3, 3a, 3b, 3c) or on the stems (4, 4a, 4c, 4d) of the keys.

Abstract: A bead release unit comprises an arm (1) which at one end carries a bead ease tool consisting of a curved plate body, whereas at its other end it is intended to be hinged to a supporting structure so that it can rotate between two positions in which it positions said tool respectively distant from and in contact with the tire of a wheel (wheel rim+tire) resting against a locator. The tool (6) is supported by said arm (1) by way of an articulated joint comprising two coplanar pins (8), (9) connected together, of which the first (8) is arranged transverse to the generating lines of said tool to enable this latter to rotate within a plane perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the arm (1), whereas the second (9) is substantially parallel to the generating lines of the tool to enable this latter to rotate within a plane transverse both to the plane of rotation of the arm and to the plane of rotation of the tool about said first pin.
