Abstract:
A tire changer apparatus for the assembly or disassembly of tires from a rim of a wheel of a vehicle, said tire changer apparatus comprising: a base; a drive unit movable along a predetermined direction and configured to rotate, around a rotation axis, a wheel of a vehicle; a frame emerging from the base. The rotation axis of the wheel and the predetermined direction define an ideal plane of movement of the drive unit. The apparatus also comprises a first and a second device, each of which comprises: an arm hinged to the frame and configured to rotate around a respective axis parallel to the rotation axis of the wheel, a tool configured to operate on a rim and/or a tire of a wheel; the first and second devices are configured to arrange the respective tools on opposite sides with respect to said ideal plane.
