AUTOMATIC ANTI-SLIPPING SYSTEM AND AUTOMATIC ANTI-SLIPPING METHOD
First Claim
1. An automatic anti-slipping system for a rotationally fixed attachment of a rim of a wheel in a wheel service machine, comprising:
- wheel supporting and rotating means having a rotary axis, for supporting and rotating a wheel to be serviced, wherein a rim of a wheel to be serviced can be placed onto a rim supporting surface of the wheel supporting and rotating means,at least two driving pins being provided at the wheel supporting and rotating means for reversibly generating a rotationally fixed connection between the wheel supporting and rotating means and a rim of a wheel to be serviced, wherein at least one of the at least two driving pins is adapted to come in a positive locking engagement with at least one recess of a rim when coinciding with said recess of a rim, and wherein the at least two driving pins are adapted to be reversibly moveable in a direction parallel to the rotary axis of the wheel supporting and rotating means, andactuator means being able to reversibly move the driving pins in an actuated state.

Abstract
An automatic anti-slipping system for a rotationally fixed attachment of a rim of a wheel in a wheel service machine, comprises a wheel supporting and rotating means (20), for supporting and rotating a wheel to be serviced. At least two driving pins (32) are provided at the wheel supporting and rotating means (20) for reversibly generating a rotationally fixed connection between a wheel supporting and rotating means (20) and a rim of a wheel to be serviced, wherein at least one of the at least two driving pins (32) is adapted to come in a positive locking engagement with at least one recess of a rim, and wherein the at least two driving pins (32) are adapted to be reversibly moveable, and actuator means (40) are able to reversibly move the driving pins (32) in an actuated state.

14. An automatic anti-slipping method for a rotationally fixed attachment of a rim of a wheel in a wheel service machine comprising the steps of:
-
arranging a rim of a wheel to be serviced on wheel supporting and rotating means having a rotary axis, for supporting and rotating the wheel, providing actuator means for reversibly moving at least two driving pins being provided at the wheel supporting and rotating means for reversibly generating a rotationally fixed connection between the wheel supporting and rotating means and a rim of a wheel to be serviced, and being adapted to be reversibly movable in a direction parallel to the rotary axis of the wheel supporting and rotating means, and actuating the at least two driving pins in an actuated state in which the driving pins can protrude from a rim supporting surface of the wheel supporting and rotating means and wherein at least one of the at least two driving pins is adapted to reversibly come in a positive locking engagement with at least one recess of a rim when coinciding with said recess of a rim. - View Dependent Claims (15)
