  • Publication number: 20230039990
    Abstract: A self-releasing clamping tool includes an adapter plate and a planetary gear assembly. The planetary gear assembly includes a central gear and a plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears. The adapter plate includes an inner annular body, a central opening, and a connector plate. The inner annular body is concentrically positioned within the connector plate. The inner annular body is adjacently connected onto a rear surface of the connector plate. The central opening normally traverses through the connector plate. The central opening concentrically is positioned within the inner annular body. The central gear is rotatably mounted to a front surface of the connector plate. The plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears is distributed around the central gear thus allowing to adjust according to lug-holes of the wheel. The plurality of adjustable-bolt-pattern gears is detachably and rotatably mounted to the front surface of the connector plate and mechanically engaged to the central gear.

  • Patent number: 11479059
    Abstract: A gripping tool for adjustable wheel balancing clamping tool includes a gripping body and an adjustable-bolt-pattern-adaptor attachment mechanism. The gripping body that enables the user to grasp the clamping tool includes an outer annular body, an inner annular body, and a connector ring. The inner annular body is concentrically positioned within the outer annular body. The connector ring is perimetrically connected the outer annular body and the inner annular body. The connector ring is terminally positioned to a first outer edge of the outer annular body and a first inner edge of the inner annular body. The adjustable-bolt-pattern-adaptor attachment mechanism is connected to the outer annular body and the inner annular body thus securing the gripping body to the clamping tool.

  • Patent number: 10900856
    Abstract: A self-releasing clamping tool that mounts a wheel onto a wheel balancer. The clamping tool has an adapter plate and a planetary gear assembly. The planetary gear assembly is an adjustable support system that maintains the wheel in a desired orientation while being balanced. The planetary gear assembly has a central gear and a collection of gear studs. The gear studs are support members that can be repositioned to correspond to the lug holes of the wheel. The central gear is rotatably mounted onto the adapter plate and the gear studs are detachably mounted onto the adapter plate. The central gear synchronizes the motion of the gear studs and the gear studs are easily detached from the adapter plate. Thus, preventing damage when dropped. A central hole traverses through the assembly and plate to enable the clamping tool to be attached to the wheel balancer.
