  • Low profile wheel balance weight
    Patent number: 4218097
    Abstract: A wheel balance weight adapted for use between the halves of an aircraft wheel. The invention includes a substantially rectangular lead weight having a center hole passing therethrough. A plate having a well therein is received by the weight, with the well being maintained by the center hole. A locknut is press-fit in the well and is adapted for receiving a bolt passing through the web of the wheel for securing the weight assembly thereto.
