ABSTRACT:
A quick change assembly for connecting a mount/dismount head to a swing arm of a rim holding tire changer. The rim holding tire changer includes a swing arm mounted for swinging the mount/dismount head into and out of engagement with a tire on the table of the rim holding tire changer. The quick change assembly is connected to the end of the swing arm. The quick change assembly acts to connect the mount/dismount head to the end of the swing arm in a pre-aligned rotatable orientation. One end of the connector is adapted to mate with the mount/dismount head. That end includes an adjuster for adjusting the aligned relation of the mount/dismount head with respect to the connector end. The other end of the connector includes a locator for locating the pre-aligned rotatable orientation with respect to the swing arm end. Such locator may be a dowel inset in the swing arm end and a slot in the end of the connector which mates to the swing arm. A bore-counter-bore would be sufficient as well. The quick change assembly also includes a connector for preventing vertical displacement between the assembly and the mount/dismount head, thus forming a tool head. An attachment for quickly detaching and reattaching the assembly, and hence, the tool head, to the swing arm is also included in the connector assembly. A typical tool head for an automotive rim is disclosed, as is a typical plastic tool head for use with decorative rims, and a typical tool head for use with an RTV or motorcycle rim.
