  • Method and apparatus for assuring proper bead seating of tubeless tires upon wheel rims
    Patent number: 4834159
    Abstract: To assure proper seating of the beads of a tubeless tire upon its wheel, after the tire has been mounted upon its wheel and inflated, the inflated tire is compressed by concave, tread-engaging members pressed against diametrically opposed, circumferential portions of the tire tread to induce a flexing sliding motion of the beads relative to the wheel and at the same time increases the internal air pressure to enable the beads to shift as required into proper seating engagement with the wheel and return the internal air pressure to design pressure when the compressive force is released.
