Abstract: A tire inflation safety cage for a tire having a lock ring which includes a framework mounted on a base plate with longitudinally extending side members forming an enclosure having an open end with an open area above the side members for connecting an air hose to the valve of a tire on a wheel to be inflated disposed within the interior with a foot pedal actuated valve within the hose, the side members being supported in spaced-apart, substantially parallel relationship to permit a hammer to be laterally swung by an operator into striking engagement with a selected portion of the lock ring for positive seating on the wheel together with a pair of spaced-apart, parallel rollers, having an elevating mechanism therebetween and a ramp associated therewith so that a tire on a wheel may be moved through the framework open end and rotatably positioned on the rollers for rotation into a selected rotary position for inflation and seating of the lock ring following which the inflated tire may be easily removed from the

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a tire repairing tool used exclusively with a semi-drop type safety wheel comprising substantially a base member having an upstanding bar which traverses through an open portion of a wheel rim of the semi-drop safety type in which the bottom portion of the base is provided with a stay member to constrain the wheel rim during the tire removal operation. The upstanding bar member coacts through a hook inserted in an opening at the top most extremity thereof with this hook providing a hinged lever point to allow insertion therethrough of a chisel connected to a lever arm through a linkage system. Shims are provided between the upstanding bar of the base member and the chisel to nest against the wheel disposed on this type of wheel and constrain it from any motion during the tire working process.
