Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive balancing weight 1 having an adhesive tape system, wherein the adhesive tape system is formed from a tape base between a first adhesive layer 7 for fastening the weight body 8 onto the adhesive tape system and a second adhesive layer 3 for fastening the adhesive balancing weight itself. When the adhesive weight is pulled off, no layer should be damaged, particularly not the vulnerable leveling layer, in order to avoid leaving any remnant behind on the adhesive surface. This is achieved, while maintaining the customary advantages of an adhesive weight of this type, by embodying the tape base as a first base film 4.

Abstract: A wheel-balancing weight mounts to a wheel with a flange. The weight includes a body and a clip. The body is stamped by a punch to define a pocket within which an attaching portion of the clip resides. The defined pocket has a planar base and opposing side walls generally perpendicular to the base. The body as stamped by the punch includes a pre-stake for each side wall external to the pocket and adjacent the side wall, and an undercut for each side wall within the pocket and generally located at a juncture of the side wall and the base.

Abstract: A wheel balancing weight has a body for providing mass and a clip attached to the body to securely grip a flange of a wheel. The clip defines a compartment within which is received the flange, and includes a hump projecting toward and into the defined compartment to contact a generally radially inward surface of the received flange such that the received flange contacts the clip at relatively smooth medial contact points on the hump. The weight may be formed as a unitary member from a sheet of steel and have a unitary sheet steel body and sheet steel clip.

Abstract: A wheel-balancing weight mounts to a wheel with a flange. The weight is formed as a unitary member having a unitary body and clip such that the clip as formed is attached to and emerges from the body as formed. The body provides a predetermined mass to the weight and the clip securely grasps the flange of the wheel to secure the weight thereto. The weight is formed by forming a slug to include a formed body portion corresponding to the body and a formed clip portion corresponding to the clip, and bending over at least a portion of the formed clip portion of the slug to form the clip.

Abstract: A wheel-balancing weight mounts to a wheel with a flange. The weight has a weighted body and a clip securely attached thereto. The clip has a gripping section and the body has a gripping portion generally opposite the gripping section of the clip. The gripping section of the clip and the gripping portion of the body in combination define a compartment therebetween, where the compartment receives the flange therein when the weight is mounted thereto such that the gripping section of the clip and the gripping portion of the body are on opposite sides of the flange and grip the flange therebetween.

Abstract: A wheel-balancing weight mounts to a wheel with a flange. The weight has a weighted body and a clip securely attached thereto. The body defines a recess therein, and the clip has a securing portion formed to be securely positioned within the recess defined in the body and a grasping portion for securely grasping the flange. The recess of the body allows the clip to be axially positioned with respect to such body so that the body is axially shifted toward the mounted-to wheel to achieve a proper fit to the wheel. The securing portion of the clip is secured within the recess by flowing a portion of the body adjacent such clip into contact therewith.
