Adapters are provided for mounting automobile wheel assemblies of different sizes and types to the mandrel of a wheel balancing or tire truing machine. The adapters have few parts and precisely align the wheel assembly with the mandrel.

Wheel adapters for truing and balancing tires

A low profile air jack for lifting vehicles is described, in which the force exerted by a horizontally disposed air cylinder and piston assembly on the lever arm of a lifting member pivoted to the jack frame causes the lifting member to rotate, so that its front end engages and lifts the vehicle. The piston shaft of the air cylinder is connected to the lever arm of the lifting member by a flexible chain and sprocket assembly which acts as a force-multiplying mechanism so that the force acting on the lever arm of the lifting member is approximately double the force which would be exerted if the piston shaft were directly connected to the lever arm by a rigid member. The two flexible chains are connected to a stabilizing bar, which is pivotably attached to the jack frame for both vertical and horizontal movement thereto, rather than directly to the frame, so that equal forces are applied to both chains during the lifting operation.

A tire truing machine having a carrier for supporting and moving a motor-driven cutter to and from a mounted and driven wheel having a tire with means to vary the travel of the cutter according to the desired contour of the tire, including a new and improved cutter head having means for mounting the cutter blade onto the motor drive shaft so that the distance between the cutter blade and the housing may be closely controlled to prevent dirt and rubber from entering the motor housing and further having a new and improved means for both automatic and manual sharpening of the cutter blade, and more importantly, for preventing rubber from being drawn between the carbides and the blade to prevent binding of the machine.
