ABSTRACT:
A tire inflation safety cage for a tire having a lock ring which includes a framework mounted on a base plate with longitudinally extending side members forming an enclosure having an open end with an open area above the side members for connecting an air hose to the valve of a tire on a wheel to be inflated disposed within the interior with a foot pedal actuated valve within the hose, the side members being supported in spaced-apart, substantially parallel relationship to permit a hammer to be laterally swung by an operator into striking engagement with a selected portion of the lock ring for positive seating on the wheel together with a pair of spaced-apart, parallel rollers, having an elevating mechanism therebetween and a ramp associated therewith so that a tire on a wheel may be moved through the framework open end and rotatably positioned on the rollers for rotation into a selected rotary position for inflation and seating of the lock ring following which the inflated tire may be easily removed from the framework by manual actuation of the elevating mechanism.
