Abstract: A wheel weight assembly with inner and outer weights, inner and outer fasteners, and anti-rotation plates. Inner fasteners can include inner and outer nuts, and a stud that extends through inner weight. Outer nuts can attach to studs and outer fasteners. Anti-rotation plates can fit over outer nuts in recesses of inner weight to prevent rotation of outer nuts. The weight assembly can also include intermediate weight and intermediate fasteners. Intermediate fasteners can include intermediate nuts and studs, where proximal end of stud attaches to inner fastener, and distal end of stud extends into recess of intermediate weight. Intermediate nuts can attach to distal ends of studs, and to outer fasteners. Anti-rotation plates fit over intermediate nuts in recesses of intermediate weight to prevent rotation of intermediate nuts. Anti-rotation plates and recesses can be pear-shaped. Cutouts in anti-rotation plates and intermediate nuts can be polygonal-shaped.

Abstract: An additional wheel weight for a utility vehicle includes a weight plate and a retention member configured to be fitted to a wheel and on which the weight plate is guided in a longitudinally axial manner. A clamping lever closure is disposed between the weight plate and retention member. A first assembly element of the clamping lever closure is coupled to the retention member, a second assembly element of the clamping lever closure engages the weight plate in a longitudinally axial manner, and a lever mechanism is disposed between the first and second assembly elements. The lever mechanism includes a clamping element being releasably secured to the first assembly element and an actuation lever being articulated between the second assembly element and the clamping element.

Abstract: An add-on wheel weight for a work machine that includes a weight disc and a mounting configured to attach to a wheel rim. The weight disc includes a closure mechanism that may be actuated manually or by outside force. The closure mechanism has an axially running guide opening configured to receive a coupling element associated with the mounting and has a releasable locking element for latching the coupling element inside the guide opening.

Abstract: A wheel weight assembly for a vehicle that has a wheel hub. The wheel weight assembly includes a wheel weight and a mounting assembly. The wheel weight includes a mounting aperture that defines a fixed axis. The mounting assembly is positioned in the mounting apertures and pivots relative thereto. The mounting assembly includes a hook and a rotator. The hook is positioned laterally inboard of the wheel hub, while the rotator is positioned laterally outboard of the wheel weight and is coupled to the hook. The rotator is configured to rotate the hook from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the hook not engaged with the wheel hub, but in the second position, the hook is engaged with the wheel hub.

Abstract: A wheel weight assembly mounts to a vehicle wheel disk section. The wheel weight assembly includes an annular starter weight mounted to the wheel disk section. The starter weight has mounting bores extending therethrough and centering taps projecting therefrom. The assembly also includes threaded members, nut members, an outer weight and attaching bolts. The starter weight includes a plurality of depressions. Each depression receives and prevents rotation of a nut member. Each threaded member extends through a corresponding one of the mounting bores and into a corresponding one of the nut members. The outer weight has attaching bores and centering recesses which receives the centering tabs. Each attaching bolt extends through a corresponding one of the attaching bores and is threadably received by a corresponding one of the nut members.

Abstract: The application discloses a wheel assembly comprising a wheel comprising a main body, a substantially cylindrical wall, a front hub face comprising a central portion connecting a hub to an outer rim, wherein the front hub face comprises a socket for receiving a removable weight, wherein the socket or the weight is configured with a stop for preventing the weight from dislodging from the socket; a back face comprising a back central portion connecting the hub to the back outer rim; and the wheel assembly comprising at least one fastener for securing the weigh in the socket on the main body of the wheel.

Abstract: A wheel for a toy vehicle includes a rim, a tire, and a ballast. The rim includes an outer circumferential surface. The tire is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the rim. The tire and the rim cooperatively define a ring-shaped receiving channel therebetween. The ballast is received in the ring-shaped receiving channel, and slidably connected to the outer circumferential surface of the rim. The weight of the ballast is greater than the frictional force between the ballast and the rim.

Abstract: In one form, the present system includes a post mounted to a wheel, a weight directly supported by the post, and a quick release fastener connected to the post. The quick release fastener releaseably secures the weight on the post in a fixed position to the wheel. In another form, the present system includes a post mounted to a wheel wherein the post has a cavity, a weight supported by the post, and a quick release fastener. Further, the quick release fastener has a portion received by the cavity of the post and the quick release fastener releaseably secures the weight on the post in a fixed relation to the wheel.

Abstract: A wheel ballast device including at least two hollow ballast chambers, each of which defines an interior cavity therein. A movable medium is contained within each of the interior cavities and is freely movable within the respective ballast chamber. An attachment device is provided to secure the ballast chambers to the wheel.

Abstract: A reversible wheel weight (25) is used for counterbalancing an industrial vehicle, by attaching the weights directly to the wheel (10) of the vehicle. The wheels of industrial vehicles typically are dish-shaped so that they can be reversed on their mounting hubs so as to spread the wheels farther apart or closer together, as may be required for the working conditions. The reversible wheel weights of this invention are similarly shaped, having a dish-shaped annular weight body (28) defining an inner annular peripheral surface (32) and an outer annular peripheral surface (30) and openings (46, 64 and 76) for access to the lugs of the wheel, but having concave and convex opposed surfaces (34 and 36) for mounting to the convex or concave surfaces (16, 18) of the wheel of the vehicle. In addition, the concave/convex surfaces of the wheel weight correspond in shape so as to be nestable with one another, whereby multiple ones of the wheel weights can be mounted together and attached to the wheel of the vehicle.
