The wheel is secured to a table p, Fig. 1, by a screw q and nut r, and is surrounded by one or more steel bands, chains, or ropes a, which are divided at one point or at two diametricallyopposite points and have their ends attached to pairs of levers c pivoted to brackets d. The bands a are tightened to compress the wheel by forcing the lower ends of the levers c apart by means of a right and left hand screw f and worm gearing g, i, or by other suitable mechanism. To accommodate wheels of different widths, the levers c are adapted to be lengthened by plates k adjustable by means of caps l and screws m. The brackets d are adapted to slide radially in gaps in the table, and are adjusted by a right and left hand screw. Hydraulic cylinders may be used to actuate the levers c, or may be arranged to act directly on the bands a. When the wheel has been suitably compressed, the tyre is placed as far on the felloes as the upper band a will allow ; this band is then removed, and the tyre forced further on ; the second band is then removed, and the tyre forced into its final position. Slots x are formed in the table p to receive T-headed bolts bent over at the top to serve as fulcra for levers for forcing on the tyre. The apparatus may also be used for forcing tyres on to elastic seats supported by suitable rims or channels. The rim or channel is split, and its ends are caused to overlap until the tyre can be applied. The rim is then expanded to its proper size, and its ends are secured together by a suitable plate or key. The apparatus, if made in a stronger form, may be used for compressing tyres or rims on to the felloes of wheels, especially such as have become loose.
