An Improved Tool to be Used in connection with the Removal of
Pneumatic Tyres from the Rims of Wheels.
We, GEORGE BAKER of 12 Queen's Road, Lavender Hill, in the County of
London, Cycle Manufacturer, and RICHARD JEWELL also of 12 Queen's Road,

of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a tool for removing the outer casings of pneumatic tyres
which are held in position by a retaining wire ring sprung on over the rim of the
wheel; as in the Dunlop and others.
The tool is formed out of a piece of strip steel of suitable thickness having one
of its rectangular ends cut away diagonally at a suitable angle, leaving a projecting
corner which is then bent upwards in a suitable lip shaped curve. This is continued
for about half the width of the plate and finished in an obverse direction.
The tyre to be removed is deflated and the projecting corner of the tool above
mentioned is inserted under the retaining wire which is held in the lip shaped
curve.
On working the tool round the rim of the wheel, the wire is easily prised out.
