ABSTRACT:
An adjustable wheel measuring gauge is capable of use in making multiple wheel measurements for identifying wheels. The gauge includes an elongated ruler with a first mating lug and a slider with a second mating lug. The ruler is generally rectangular in cross-section and has a pair of opposite top and bottom faces. Multiple measuring scales in millimeters and inches are provided on the top face. The first mating lug is fixedly attached at one end of the ruler and projects from the bottom face of the ruler. The first lug is adapted for self-centered mating with a desired location on a wheel to be measured. The slider defines a channel open at its opposite ends for receiving the ruler and mounting the slider in a sliding relation on the ruler. The slider has base and window portions bounding opposite sides of the channel and disposed along the opposite faces of the ruler. The window portion overlies the scales on the top face of the ruler. The window portion is transparent and has markings thereon for viewing and reading measurements from the scales through the window portion. The second lug is fixedly attached to the base portion of the slider and projects therefrom so as to extend generally parallel to the first lug on the ruler. The second lug is adapted for self-centered mating with another desired location on the wheel being spaced from the one location thereon through a distance to be measured.
