ABSTRACT:
An automated tire mounting and inflation system is shown which includes a tire mounting station for seating an uninflated tire on a wheel rim with the tire upper and lower beads between the rim flanges. A conveyor moves the uninflated tire from the mounting station to an inflation station. An inflation bell is lowered at the inflation station to contact the tire upper sidewall and form an airtight enclosure whereby air can be supplied to the interior of the bell, air pressure passing between the tire bead and wheel flange around the entire perimeter of the rim to inflate the tire. The conveyor then moves the inflated tire from the inflation station to a staging area.
