Abstract:
A tire cutter apparatus including a rotatable anvil wheel assembly and a cutter wheel assembly connected to a frame. The anvil wheel assembly has an anvil wheel with a smooth circumferential anvil surface. The cutter wheel assembly includes a cutter wheel having a peripheral edge. The cutter wheel assembly and the anvil wheel assembly are movable between a closed position in which the cutter wheel edge is adjacent the anvil surface to define a cutting site, and an open position in which the cutter wheel edge and the anvil surface are spaced apart. A gripping wheel having an articulated peripheral edge is connected to the cutter wheel assembly and/or to the anvil wheel assembly, so that the gripping wheel engages a portion of a tire to move the tire through the cutting site. The apparatus may be a compression cutter defining a nip, and multiple overlapping gripping wheels may be driven to drive the tire through the cutter.
