  • Patent number: 9090135
    Abstract: A device for fitting and removing tires includes a support having a connecting portion associable with the movable arm of a tire changing machine, a first protruding element associated with the support and suitable to be positioned in correspondence with a section of the edge of a wheel rim, a guide element having a substantially elongated shape and extending substantially orthogonal to the protruding element, a gripping tool associated with the support, suitable to be inserted between the tire and the rim and having a substantially curved end section, the gripping tool being movable between a retracted position, wherein the end section is arranged in proximity of the first protruding element, and an extracted position, wherein the gripping tool extends from the first protruding element towards the wheel. The first protruding element is arranged substantially at the side of the gripping tools, in correspondence with a side of the gripping tool substantially opposite to the guide element.
