161 System for tire storage, retrieval, and inventory management US15087849 2016-03-31 US09466047B1 2016-10-11 Thomas J. Allen
A storage array includes one or more tier including a plurality of roller pairs and at least one motor for spinning each roller pair. Plates are positioned between each roller pair. A horizontal nudger is positioned above each plate moves tires horizontally within the storage array. A tire is moved longitudinally within the storage array by causing a roller pair bearing the tire to spin followed by lifting the plate below the tire, thereby causing the tire to roll forward or backward within the storage array. A controller coupled to actuators for the plates and the horizontal nudger invokes movement of tires in and out of the storage array and within the storage array according to a storage, retrieval, and inventory management program. Tires may include electronically readable chips that are detected by sensors at a front edge of the storage array that are coupled to the controller.

175 Integrated vehicle display system US711164 1996-09-09 US6062396A 2000-05-16 Donald H. Eason
A system for conveniently storing a wheel, tire or similar object. The invention allows a user to easily insert such an object into a support stand and establish a three point support of the object. Furthermore, the system has an actuation feature that allows a support stand to be easily and compactly configured for storage and shipment. The system uses a rotating support surface to establish contact with a wheel, tire or other similar object. In this fashion, a normal force can be exerted against the object while the support surface is free to turn. This allows an object with a rough surface area to be positioned by the force while not allowing the rough surface area to effect such positioning. A mechanism accommodates tires of different sizes, thereby allowing tires to be positioned on support settings unique to each sized tire. A self adjusting feature allows the movement arm to move in response to the tire size, thereby establishing the appropriate settings. A rotating support is disclosed that provides greater flexibility to a support stand in interfacing with tires of rough surface areas by preventing those surface areas from interfering with the support establishment process.
