ABSTRACT:
A machine for automatically applying a balance correcting weight (44)-and-clip (46) assembly to vehicle wheel-and-tire assembly (12). The machine includes a conveyor (20) portion for conveying the wheel-and-tire assembly (12) to a weight (44) application station, orienting the wheel-and-tire assembly (12) properly to receive at the correct location the balance-correcting weight (44), and conveying the wheel-and-tire assembly (12) to which the balance-correcting weight (44) has been applied away from the weight (44) application station. The machine includes a hammer (22, 24) having a storage orientation out of operating position permitting conveying of the wheel-and-tire assembly (12) to and from the weight (44) application station and a use orientation in operating position adjacent the wheel-and-tire assembly (12) to which balance correcting weight (44) is to be applied, and means for moving the hammer (22, 24) selectively between its storage and use orientations. The hammer (22, 24) includes a jaw (40) with a contour conforming to the shape of the clip (46) and a shank (50) portion of ferromagnetic material, said shank (50) being surrounded by an electrically conductive coil (94).
