ABSTRACT:
A wheel clamp is disclosed for supporting a wheel aligning tool in a plane generally parallel to the plane of the wheel. The wheel clamp comprises two assemblies. The first assembly is a clamping frame which grasps the tire at three points along its periphery to provide firm attachment of the clamp to the wheel. The second assembly is a floating frame which actually supports the wheel aligning tool. Three pins extend inward from the floating frame and contact the wheel rim to ensure that the floating frame lies parallel to the plane of the wheel rim. A thumb screw is provided to secure the floating frame to the clamping frame.
