Abstract: Device for removing bead wires from the side rims of vehicle tires. The device has a rectangular standing frame with a central portion having pivotable rods that support a tire. Opposite sides of the tire have main pull chains each rotating about sprockets and each chain having bar hooks attached thereon. An electric or gasoline motor rotates a drive shaft which has ends connected to reduction pulley and sprocket sets to each of the main chains so that the motor causes the main pull chains to rotate in opposite directions causing the hooks to pull bead wires from the tire. Sliding bars on opposite sides of the tire continuously center and control the removal of the bead wires as they are being pulled from the tire by the hook bars.

Abstract: A hydromechanical transmission includes a first shaft having a drive source end and a transmission end which receives torque from a drive source, a planet gear mounting structure joined to the transmission end of the first shaft, at least one planet gear rotatably mounted on the planet gear mounting structure, a ring gear surrounding and meshing with the at least one planet gear and joined by a connecting structure to a second shaft to which the transmission delivers torque, an annular sun gear slidably surrounding the transmission end of the first shaft and meshing with the at least one planet gear, a first pump having a pump operating shaft, the pump operating shaft being joined to the sun gear through gears, fluid to pump through the first pump, a valve for controlling the flow of fluid out of the first pump. A second pump and second planet gear assembly provide reverse drive, and provision is also made for neutral and park modes.
