Abstract: A process for connecting and removing a mounting disk having holders for vehicle wheel rims in the mounting or removing of tires from the rim includes the use of a tire mounting device having a rotatable pin. The mounting disk and the rotatable pin are connnected together by a separable sliding splined connection. Wheel rims are releasably connected to the disk for the mounting of tires onto or the removing of tires from the wheel rims. The rims are made of various materials and have various designs, diameters and widths. Connections are without restrictions pertaining to the maximum possible clamping jaw diameter of the disk and without risk of damaging the wheel rim. The mounting disk functions to secure fragile wheel rims and the disk is easily connected to the tire mounting device.

Abstract: In a method for constructing a weighbridge, the weighing platform is made of reinforced concrete and is built in a previously prepared foundation ditch which is used as a mold for the weighing platform. After the hardening of the foundation ditch (1) separating means (10, 11) are placed in the foundation ditch (1) for separating the weighing platform from the ditch (1). Subsequently, the weighing platform is cast in the foundation ditch (1). A weighing cell assembly for a weighbridge, which is particularly suitable for use when performing this method, includes a weighing cell, a support element (6) for the weighing cell and a tubular structural member (8) which can be connected to the weighing platform and holds the support element (6). The weighing platform can be supported on the weighing cell through the tubular structural member.
