ABSTRACT:
A sidewall appearance monitor for a tire uniformity machine. The tire uniformity machine has an upper chuck, a lower chuck, and a conveyor that brings a tire between the two chucks. The lower chuck raises the tire to the upper chuck where it is inflated and rotated by engagement with a loadwheel for the uniformity measurement. Upper and lower sidewall probes are provided with means for swinging the lower sidewall probe between an operative position below the tire and an inoperative position above and to the side of the tire whereby the tire may be lowered and conveyed horizontally from the machine without interference from the probe.
