Abstract
Abstract Apparatus for stripping worn-out tires into useful fencing material. The apparatus includes a housing upon which is mounted a vertically and rotatably mounted cutting disc; a tire feeding cylinder operable to force a tire section into the cutting disc for cutting a continuous longitudinal strip of tire of selected width; a guide for controlling strip width; a cutter control for moving the cutting disc relative to the feed cylinder; and a drive unit operable to rotate the cutting disc and tire feeding cylinder. The apparatus may also include a tire support for holding the tire in a horizontal plane while removing a tire bead.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
Tire stripping apparatus comprising: housing means; drive means mounted on said housing means; cutting means rotatably mounted on said housing means and drivingly connected to said drive means; a substantially L-shaped guide member, including a vertically planar portion and a horizontally planar portion, mounted on said housing and operable to guide a tire portion of pre-selected width into said cutting means; tire feed means rotatably mounted on said housing means and drivingly connected to said drive means, said feed means including two coaxial and horizontally spaced rollers including a first substantially cylindrical roller located adjacent said guide means and a second roller of substantially frusto-conical shape outwardly spaced from said first roller to define an annular shearing slot operable to receive said cutting means, said second roller operable to force a tire inwardly against the vertical portion of said guide means whereby an angular ring may be cut from a tire placed in a horizontal position and a continuous strip may be cut from a tire placed in a substantially vertical position; and cutter control means operable to control displacement of said cutting means relative to said feed means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
189 words
Tire stripping apparatus comprising: housing means; drive means mounted on said housing means; cutting means rotatably mounted on said housing means and drivingly connected to said drive means; a substantially L-shaped guide member, including a vertically planar portion and a horizontally planar portion, mounted on said housing and operable to guide a tire portion of pre-selected width into said cutting means; tire feed means rotatably mounted on said housing means and drivingly connected to said drive means, said feed means including two coaxial and horizontally spaced rollers including a first substantially cylindrical roller located adjacent said guide means and a second roller of substantially frusto-conical shape outwardly spaced from said first roller to define an annular shearing slot operable to receive said cutting means, said second roller operable to force a tire inwardly against the vertical portion of said guide means whereby an angular ring may be cut from a tire placed in a horizontal position and a continuous strip may be cut from a tire placed in a substantially vertical position; and cutter control means operable to control displacement of said cutting means relative to said feed means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
The apparatus as described in claim 1, further comprising tire support means horizontally disposed on said housing means below the level of said tire feed means at a distance substantially equal to the distance between one lateral wall of a tire and the bead of an opposing wall.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
The apparatus as described in claim 2, wherein said tire support means includes at least one roller member rotatably mounted on said housing means and operable to engage the bottom wall of a horizontally disposed tire placed thereon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The apparatus as described in claim 3, wherein said tire support means includes two divergent laterally spaced roller members.
