The internal passage in the nozzle also has a substantially uniform cross section over the straight line length thereof. One embodiment of the invention shows the use of the improved bead seating apparatus in a tire changing stand of the type having a rotatable rim receiving table while another embodiment illustrates the tire bead seating apparatus in connection with a tire changing apparatus having a stationary table.
