ABSTRACT:
This invention is a tire-changing device which is used for engaging then stripping the tire from rims of wheels. The device is used in combination with a workbench and stores under the bench when not in use. A threaded rod is raised above the bench top when the tire changer is in use. Mobility for the threaded rod is provided by having it slidably engage a sleeve which, in turn, is coupled to the bench. A friction pad is employed which rests on the bench and through which the threaded rod passes. A restraining hub through which the rod passes engages the hub of the wheel. A torque nut holds the hub firmly in place, thereby securing the wheel between the restraining hub and the friction pad. A double headed tool is provided which engages the rim of the tire. A first head is contoured to assist in engaging the bead of the tire to the rim and a second head is for the purpose of stripping the tire from the rim.
