Abstract
A holding device for a rim of a vehicle wheel having a base plate which has a central recess for being pushed onto the shaft of a balancing machine, having a plurality of rotatably mounted holding elements and having at least one coupling element which is arranged coaxially with respect to the central recess and is mounted rotatably on the base plate, the holding elements and the coupling element having an interacting coupling for the positive coupling of the rotational movement of the holding elements. There is provision, in addition to the coupling which bring about the positive connection, for the holding elements and the coupling element to have a further coupling mechanism for the frictional coupling of the rotational movement of the holding elements, and for at least one fixing device to be provided for fixing the holding elements, if required.

12. A holding device for a rim of a vehicle wheel, comprising:
-
a base plate which has a central recess for being pushed onto the shaft of a balancing machine, a plurality of rotatably mounted holding elements, each holding element having a holding means for the rim, and at least one coupling element which is arranged coaxially with respect to the central recess and is mounted rotatably on the base plate, wherein the holding elements and the coupling element having interacting coupling means for the positive coupling of rotational movement of the holding elements, wherein in addition to the coupling means which bring about said positive connection, the holding elements and the coupling element have a frictional coupling means for frictionally coupling of the rotational movement of the holding elements, and wherein at least one fixing device is provided for selective fixing of the position of the holding elements. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
