Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for fixing a balancing weight having an adhesive layer thereon to a vehicle wheel at a balancing position comprises a holder having at least first and second holding portions for holding a balancing weight under a spring force. The holder is guided to a balancing position on the wheel by a guide so that an edge of the adhesive-bearing surface of the balancing weight is applied to or contacts the wheel at the desired balancing position. Pressure is then directed towards the balancing position and applied to the balancing weight causing the balancing weight to be released from the holder and pivoted about the edge that bears against the wheel at the balancing position so that the whole adhesive layer is pressed against the wheel surface.
