Abstract: A modular carrier ring for a motorcycle wheel hub assembly comprising a flat plate including a central flange forming a center bore therein for placement over the wheel hub, the central flange having a plurality of spaced-apart first through-holes formed therein for matching assembly with a like plurality of spaced-apart second through-holes formed in the wheel hub, the first through-holes and the second through-holes arranged for receipt therein of threaded fastening means to hold the flange tightly against the wheel hub, the central flange having a plurality of spaced-apart shallow apertures formed therein, in sequentially spaced arrangement with the first through-holes, for matching assembly with a like plurality of shallow apertures formed in the wheel hub for receipt therebetween of non-threaded anchor pins, a plurality of spaced-apart cross-arms extending outward from the central flange terminating in an anchor ring, and a plurality of tabs extending outward from the anchor ring each of the tab having f

Abstract: This invention is a visual inspection machine for a surface mount passive component (chip) made up of a rotating circular loader wheel inclined to the horizontal and including an upper exposed wheel surface against which an inventory of chips is placed for loading and a rim in which a plurality of cavities, of a size and shape to accept a single chip therein in an upright position, are formed, each cavity defined by a pair of spaced-apart cavity side walls, a rear cavity wall, and having a corner chamfer leading down thereinto from the wheel surface located on the side wail of the cavity in the direction of rotation of the loader wheel, a first vacuum station connected to the loader wheel for providing vacuum power in each cavity for retaining each chip in a cavity for a first inspection, a first inspection station, external the loader wheel, for viewing a first side surface of the chip during its location in the cavity on the loader wheel, a transfer wheel defined by an outer marginal edge, the wheel arrange
