Abstract: The invention relates to a device for attaching a balancing weight (2) to a mounting surface (17) on an inner side (3) of a rim dish of a wheel rim (4) and provides for a mounting head (1) to be dimensioned in such a way that it fits into the rim dish. The mounting head (1) includes a support element (5), which is radially displaceable relative to the wheel rim (4) and on which a feeler element (6) is axially movably arranged, the feeler element (6) having a convex contact surface (14) and a receptacle (12) for at least one balancing weight (2), said receptacle being oriented towards the inner side (3). The mounting head (1) is configured in such a way that the contact surface (14) may be brought into contact with a boundary surface (18) of the inner side (3), and may be displaced along said boundary surface until the balancing weight (2) comes radially into contact with the mounting surface (17).

Abstract: To mount a pneumatic tire (R) on a drop base rim (F), the pneumatic tire (R) is gripped by a gripper (2), which is arranged on a handling device (1), on the tread, and the first tire bead thereof is slipped over a flange of the rim (F) by controlled movement of the gripper (2). Subsequently, the gripper (2) is released from the pneumatic tire (R), and the tire (R) is moved into an initial position for mounting the second tire bead by adjustment members (33, 34). Mounting tools (27, 28, 29) arranged on the gripper (2) are guided along on the rim (F) by rotating the gripper (2) about the axis of the rim (F), resulting in the second tire bead being slipped over the rim (F).
