A wheel removal device for separating a wheel from an axle hub includes a base, a plurality of tethers, and a plurality of fasteners. A recess extends axially into the base from a first end of the base. The recess is shaped complementarily to a terminus of a piston of a hydraulic cylinder so that the recess the terminus of the piston can be inserted into the recess. The tethers are engaged to and extend from the base. Each fastener is engaged to a respective tether distal from the base and can selectively engage a wheel that is engaged to an axle hub. The hydraulic cylinder is positioned longitudinally between the base and the axle hub. The base translates a force imparted by extension of the piston through the tethers to the wheel to remove the wheel from the axle hub.

The invention can meet the needs of wheel centering in use with the ideal effect and high efficiency. Work is safe and reliable, degree of automation is high, and it is especially suitable for mass production on the production line.

A self-releasing clamping tool includes an adapter plate and a planetary gear assembly. The planetary gear assembly includes a central gear and a plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears. The adapter plate includes an inner annular body, a central opening, and a connector plate. The inner annular body is concentrically positioned within the connector plate. The inner annular body is adjacently connected onto a rear surface of the connector plate. The central opening normally traverses through the connector plate. The central opening concentrically is positioned within the inner annular body. The central gear is rotatably mounted to a front surface of the connector plate. The plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears is distributed around the central gear thus allowing to adjust according to lug-holes of the wheel. The plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears is detachably and rotatably mounted to the front surface of the connector plate and mechanically engaged to the central gear.

A gripping tool for adjustable wheel balancing clamping tool includes a gripping body and an adjustable-bolt-pattern-adaptor attachment mechanism. The gripping body that enables the user to grasp the clamping tool includes an outer annular body, an inner annular body, and a connector ring. The inner annular body is concentrically positioned within the outer annular body. The connector ring is perimetrically connected the outer annular body and the inner annular body. The connector ring is terminally positioned to a first outer edge of the outer annular body and a first inner edge of the inner annular body. The adjustable-bolt-pattern-adaptor attachment mechanism is connected to the outer annular body and the inner annular body thus securing the gripping body to the clamping tool.

A wheel center bore size qualification detection device includes an upper crossbeam, large guide posts, small guide posts, a center go/no go gauge no go end, a center go/no go gauge go end, small guide sleeves, large guide sleeves, a stand, jaws, small air cylinders, a coupling flange A, a coupling flange B, a lower crossbeam, bases, a large air cylinder, a centering pin A, centering pins B, a mobile sensor bracket, a mobile sensor, a detection connecting rod and bracket, a backing plate, connecting bolts and a fixed plate. The device provided has the characteristics of accurate location, practical structure, high detection accuracy, high efficiency, work safety and reliability and the like.

A tire change tool comprising a generally circular and planar faceplate having a hub side and a user side, the hub side and user side being generally parallel; an upper elbow flexibly connected to the faceplate by an interface; an arm connected to the upper elbow at a first end, and connected to a lower elbow at a lower end; and a footplate flexibly connected to the lower end of the arm by the lower elbow, wherein the faceplate and the interface comprise co-aligned apertures, the co-aligned apertures having an axis perpendicular to the plane of the faceplate. A length adjustment mechanism may be incorporated into the arm and adapted to permit the arm's length to be changed. The arm may include an upper section and a lower section adjustable connected by an adjustment mechanism adapted to permit the arm's length to be changed.

A vehicle wheel lathe fixture, including an upper cover, a coupling base, a floating disc, a driving seat, a sliding sleeve, a finger-shaped press jaw, a rotating shaft, a sliding shaft, an end-face positioning block base, an end-face positioning block, a positioning pin, a radial positioning block, a radial pull rod, a hydraulic power chuck, a disc spring sleeve, a disc spring, a disc spring positioning column, a press cover, a hydraulic power chuck mounting base and a dust cover. Embodiments of the invention have the characteristics of reliable work, stable operation and wide compatibility range, and is applicable to vehicle wheel mechanical processing lathes.

A hitch assembly to hoist a machine having at least one wheel rim includes a mounting flange configured to be disposed on an outer face of the wheel rim; and a hitch protruding from the mounting flange and extending longitudinally away from the outer face of the wheel rim. The hitch assembly further includes an elongated receiver component selectively coupled to the hitch, the receiver component having a first end adapted to releasably engage with the hitch; and a hook element rotatably coupled to a second end of the receiver component, the hook element being configured to rotate about the receiver component.

In a device for transferring vehicle wheels, an individual vehicle wheel can be gripped by a gripping module having at least one gripping unit which is supported by a frame structure and includes multiple pressing elements that can be pressed against one or more mating surfaces of an individual vehicle wheel. A first gripping module and a second gripping module are mounted on a common rigid support structure which can be rotated about a main axis of rotation by a rotating mechanism. Furthermore, the pressing elements move with a movement component running parallel to the main axis of rotation.
