Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A tire air filling mechanism in a tire testing device includes an air supply source which supplies air into a tire to be mounted between a pair of rims attached to ends of tire shafts. An injection direction of the air supplied into the tire from the air supply source is set at a direction inclined with respect to a radial direction of the tire, so that the air supplied from the air supply source can be turned inside the tire.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A tire air filling mechanism in a tire testing device, comprising an air supply source which supplies air into a tire to be mounted between a pair of rims attached to ends of tire shafts, wherein an injection direction of the air supplied into the tire from the air supply source is set at a direction inclined with respect to a radial direction of the tire, so that the air supplied from the air supply source can be turned inside the tire. 2 . The tire air filling mechanism in a tire testing device according to claim 1 , wherein an air injection port from which the air supplied into the tire from the air supply source is injected is formed in one of the tire shafts, and the air injection port is formed in a direction inclined with respect to the radial direction. 3 . The tire air filling mechanism in a tire testing device according to claim 2 , wherein a curved tube member is provided so that the injection direction of the air injected in the radial direction from the air injection port can be changed to a direction inclined with respect to the radial direction. 4 . The tire air filling mechanism in a tire testing device according to claim 2 , wherein a direction-changing plate is provided so that the injection direction of the air injected in the radial direction from the air injection port can be changed to a direction inclined with respect to the radial direction. 5 . The tire air filling mechanism in a tire testing device according to claim 3 , wherein a direction-changing plate is provided so that the injection direction of the air injected in the radial direction from the air injection port can be changed to a direction inclined with respect to the radial direction. 6 . A tire air filling method in a tire testing device, in which the tire air filling mechanism according to claim 1 is used to inject the air supplied from the air supply source in a direction inclined with respect to the radial direction so that the air can be supplied into the tire while being turned inside the tire.
