  • Patent number: 11807051
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to tire servicing operations and, more specifically, to an improved tire bead seating device. The bead seating device may include an inlet configured to receive pressurized air. The inlet may couple to two or more outlets extending outwardly from a shell of the device. Further, a leg may extend downwardly from each outlet and include a nozzle for directing a pressurized gas into a cavity of a tire. In particular, pressurized air may be delivered via the nozzles to force the tire bead onto the rim flange. Advantageously, the bead seating device may emit a high volume of air through each nozzle to accommodate for wheel assemblies of different diameters.
