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.

An automobile hub with a hollow rim includes a wheel disc and the rim with at least one hollow cavity, in which the rim includes at least two mutually nested rings and an axial end cap at the same ends of the at least two rings, and the hollow cavity consists of the rings and the axial end cap. The outer side of one end of the wheel disc includes axial rim mounting grooves, and the rim is inserted into the rim mounting grooves and fixed to the wheel disc through the end without the axial end cap. By employing the automobile hub with the hollow rim, the hub assembling method, and the automobile having the hub, the weight of the hub can be further reduced, and the hub has sufficient strength.

A vertical manipulator for large size tyres which includes a platform and mechanisms for holding, raising, and rotating tyres, for the safe working of maintenance workers. The vertical manipulator works on all types of terrain and its movements include those of conventional manipulators, in addition to others specific to the invention, rendering its features superior. The vertical manipulator includes a main transverse body from which are suspended two sets of parallel arms that open and close according to the size of the tyre. To each set of parallel arms is added a support arm, which holds a pivoting arm, equipped with a gripping plate, securing side rollers and a lower roller, the pivoting arm operating supported by a lifting jack, and a work platform being disposed on the parallel arms and supported by the main body.

A tool for mounting a motor-vehicle wheel on a wheel hub includes a tubular body having a coupling portion arranged for coupling to the wheel hub, and a carrier portion for supporting the motor-vehicle wheel during a centering phase of the wheel on the hub. The tool has an inner tubular member and an outer tubular member rigidly connected to each other so as to be coaxial. At the coupling portion, the inner and outer tubular members are spaced apart so as to define a space arranged to receive an end portion of the wheel hub, in such a way that, in an operating condition, the end portion of the hub is interposed between the inner tubular member and the outer tubular member.

An apparatus for locking a wheel in a balancing machine comprises: a first casing (2), extending along a working axis (D1), a second casing (3), disposed inside the first casing (2) and movable along the working axis (D1) relative to the first casing (2) to adopt an open position (PA) and a closed position (PC) which are spaced from each other along the working axis (D1), a first lever (4), hinged to the first end (3A) of the second casing (3) at a hinge (31) to rotate between an extracted position (PE1) and a retracted position (PR1); a second lever (5), hinged at the hinge (31) of the second casing (3) to rotate between a respective extracted position (PE2) and a respective retracted position (PR2). The first lever (4) and the second lever (5) include a respective first apex (41) and a second apex (51). When the second casing (3) is at the open position (PA), the first apex (41) and the second apex (51) are disposed at a corresponding first apex position. When the second casing (3) is at the closed position (PA), the first apex (41) and the second apex (51) are disposed at a corresponding second apex position. For both the first apex (41) and the second apex (51), the first apex position is further back than the second apex position in a locking direction (VB) along the working axis (D1).

The present invention relates to an apparatus for attaching or detaching a commercial vehicle tire hub drum. According to the present invention, the apparatus for attaching or detaching a commercial vehicle tire hub drum may comprise: a main body frame 100 having traveling wheels 110 mounted on a lower part thereof; a holding means 200 formed so as to face forward from the main body frame 100 for holding upright a circular load mounted on a commercial vehicle; an attachment/detachment means 300 for executing an attachment/detachment operation of the load from above the holding means 200; and a position adjustment device 400 coupled to the main body frame 100 to adjust the position of the holding means 200 and the attachment/detachment means 300. Accordingly, the present invention provides an apparatus for attaching or detaching a commercial vehicle tire hub drum, which, by using a hydraulic device providing a hydraulic driving force, can conveniently attach or detach a load of various sizes to a vehicle from a fixed position while simultaneously adjusting the vertical position of a load-holding means.

A wheel for a vehicle is provided. The wheel has a rim configured for mounting a tire thereto. The wheel also has a rotary drive member that is integrally connected to the rim. The drive member is configured to be operatively connected to a motor of the vehicle.
