  • Publication number: 20110012419
    Abstract: To provide a wheel balance weight in which a release coated paper is likely to be detached when assembling it with a wheel. A wheel balance weight according to the present invention is such that, in a wheel balance weight including: a substantially-strip-shaped weight; an adhesive-tape portion whose tape front surface is fixed to a weight rear surface; and a release coated paper covering a tape rear surface, it makes the release coated paper likely to be pinched by adjusting the widths of the adhesive-tape portion and release coated paper. Since the wheel balance weight according to the present invention is such that the release coated paper is less likely to be detached before the assembly operation and the release coated paper is likely to be pinched upon assemblage, the handling becomes easy and additionally the workability when assembling the wheel balance weight with a wheel has improved.

  • Publication number: 20080258537
    Abstract: A wheel balance weight includes a weight, an adhesive seal, a release coated paper, and a protrusion. The protrusion is made of at least a part of the release coated paper, is disposed along a longitudinal direction of the weight, protrudes parallelly to a widthwise direction of the weight beyond one of opposite widthwise ends of the adhesive seal, is located at least around a position, which corresponds to the weight's center of gravity, and is provided with a cut-off, which is placed at the position corresponding to the weight's center of gravity. The wheel balance weight demonstrates improved workability upon assemblage.
