Abstract:
1. WHEEL RECONDITIONING DEVICE, comprising: a base ( 1 ), from whose upper facing extends a vertical and rear column ( 2 ) preferably with quadrangular cross section, from which extend forward one upper cross brace ( 3 ) and one intermediate cross brace ( 4 ), both orthogonal to the vertical column ( 2 ), preferably with quadrangular cross section too, and adequately fixed to said column ( 2 ); said intermediate cross brace ( 4 ), which is shorter than the upper cross brace ( 3 ), is equipped with a bolt-fastened axle ( 5 ) placed in the brace's mid section; this axle is connected to another axle ( 6 ) equipped with a flange ( 6 a ) on which the damaged wheel is mounted and fastened by means of the positioning, on said axle ( 6 ), of a cone-shaped bushing ( 7 ), of a spacer ( 8 ), and of a fastening nut ( 9 ) equipped with handles ( 9 a ); a fixed bracket ( 10 ) equipped with a mobile vertical column ( 11 ) is attached to the front end of the upper cross brace ( 3 ); this column can slide up and down inside the bracket ( 10 ), and can be fixed in the desired position using the handle ( 10 a ), and said mobile column's ( 11 ) lower end can be fixed by means of a bolt (b) to the front end of the intermediate cross brace ( 4 ) axle ( 5 ), thus interconnecting the latter to the upper cross brace ( 3 ), and forming a fixed rectangle; said upper cross brace ( 3 ), is equipped with a mobile bracket ( 12 ) that can be fixed in the desired position by means of the handle ( 12 a ); said bracket ( 12 ) is equipped on its lower section with a short vertical rod ( 12 b ) provided with transfixing holes ( 12 c ) located at different heights, on which, by means of a bolt (b), a swinging cross brace ( 13 ) is used to fasten the wheel in the desired position, composed of two parallel and curved rods ( 14 ) with ends interconnected by means of plates ( 14 a ), close to which are positioned the respective special nuts ( 15 ) and corresponding upper lock nuts ( 16 ), both of which are transfixed by an adjustable bolt ( 17 ), equipped, on its upper side, with a tightening handle ( 17 a ), and, on its lower side, with a swinging prism ( 18 ) that constitutes the support base for the wheel's outer surface.
