ABSTRACT:
A tire display device having an arm assembly, a pivotable bracket assembly, and a plate assembly, the arm assembly comprising a wall bracket, an arm having one end secured to the wall bracket, and a free end pivotally supporting the pivotable bracket assembly for pivotable movement in a horizontal plane. The bracket assembly, in turn, supports a plate having peripheral flanges provided with slots for admitting respective slide arms having inner ends provided with threaded bores for aligning with respective radially extending slots in the plate so that a bolt can be passed through the slot into the threaded bore for adjustably securing the slide arm on the plate. The other end of the slide arm is provided with a pocket for engaging a bead on the tire. The slidable adjustability of the slide arms permit mounting of tires having different diameters. The plate is provided with a central opening for admitting a flanged bushing which is mountable on a shaft secured to a base of the pivotable bracket. The plate assembly is secured by a cotter key receivable in a bore passing through the free end of the shaft. The plate assembly is rotatable on the shaft so that a tire supported on the device can be rotated to any position to facilitate the reading of the information imprinted on the sidewall of the tire. The pivotable bracket assembly enables the tire to be pivoted in the horizontal plane to permit inspection of the tread design on the tire. The end of the shaft is provided with an advertising coverplate to fill out the tire opening and to conceal the plate assembly. The advertising coverplate is mounted in such a way as to keep it stationary when the tire is rotated.
