Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH11510586
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An improved system for attaching balance weights to a wheel utilizes a balancing flange which extends radially inwardly from a wheel rim for mounting the balance weights. The system is particularly suited for use with full face wheels of the type wherein a full face cast or forged disk is joined to a partial wheel rim. The balancing flange may be suitably formed on the outboard portion of the partial wheel rim, and then butted against and welded to an axially extending annular flange formed on the inboard surface of the wheel disk. Balance weights may then be clipped to the flange at specified locations to balance the wheel and a tire mounted thereon. As the balance weights will not be visible from the outboard surface of the wheel, the cosmetic appearance of the wheel is not impaired. Preferably, the balancing flange is positioned in or near the plane of rotation of the center of mass of the wheel and tire assembly such that the balance weights do not create a force couple acting on the wheel.
