Abstract:
A bead lining tool includes a bed member, fixed and movable die supports upstanding from the bed, the movable die support being slidable relative to the bed and releasably secured thereto by a set screw, and a threaded movable die carrier extending through the movable die support and rotatable to advance toward and retract from the fixed die support. A fixed die is positioned in the fixed die support, while a movable die is positioned in the movable die carrier. A series of depressions are formed in the bed for engagement by the set screw to coarsely position the movable die. The movable die carrier is rotated by a hand wheel to finely advance the movable die toward the fixed die to engage the dies with ends of a bead liner tube extending through a bead to flare and roll the ends of the liner tube.
