Description: |
| Abstract:
Heretofore tire-benders as made have used spur-gearing, this gearing as applied requiring at least two men on the machine to do the heavy work, and also requiring several sizes of machines to accomplish the various kinds of work. The object of my improvement is to provide a medium size machine geared in such a manner as to enable one man to operate it alone, and to construct a machine in such a manner that a tire, when bent, can he easily removed from the same. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, similar letters referring, similar parts throughout the several views.
Claim:
The worm E, in combination with the worm-wheel D and the spur-gear B and C on a tire-bender. The bearing 0 through the frame A, to be of the same diameter as the outside of the roll MI, so as to permit the roll MI being drawn through the bearing 0 without the use of bushings |
