ABSTRACT:
A wheel stand for supporting a wheel rim, the stand comprising a base having a hub connected thereto and spaced inwardly and axially from the plane of the base. A plurality of pivots are connected to and spaced about the base and a shaft is mounted in the hub for rotation therein, the shaft including a projecting threaded portion with an actuator nut mounted on the projecting threaded portion for axial reciprocation along the shaft upon rotation thereof. A plurality of rim supports are each connected to a pivot for rotation in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the base, the hub including a plurality of radially projecting arms which are rigidly connected to the nut. A cam is mounted on each of the arms associated with the nut and a cam follower means is mounted on each of the rim support means, each cam and cam follower being coupled in cooperative relationship whereby axial reciprocation of the nut effects rotation of the rim supports about the pivots. Each of the supports includes a radially extending projection having an upwardly extending ear from an inner portion thereof and a notch at the opposite end thereof, the ears forming center-of-rim capture means for a rim having a web and the notches forming rim capture means for open rim type wheels.
The purpose of this abstract is to enable the Public and the Patent Office to determine rapidly the subject matter of the technical disclosure of the application. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope thereof,
