HOLDING DEVICE FOR A RIM OF A VEHICLE WHEEL
First Claim
1. A holding device for a rim of a vehicle wheel, comprising:
- a base plate having a central through hole for sliding onto a shaft of a balancing machine,a plurality of retaining elements, which are rotatably mounted on the base plate,a synchronization element for synchronizing the rotation of the retaining elements, which is rotatably provided on the base plate, anda locking element for locking a rotational position of at least one of the plurality of retaining elements or the synchronization element,wherein the plurality of retaining elements and the synchronization element comprise corresponding coupling portions for form-fitting coupling of the rotational movement of the plurality of retaining elements and the synchronization element, andcharacterized in that;
any one of the synchronization element or at least one of the plurality of retaining elements comprises an elastic coupling portion, wherein the elastic coupling portion biases the corresponding coupling portions of the synchronization element and at least one of the plurality of retaining elements towards each other for ensuring the form-fitting coupling of the synchronization element and the plurality of retaining elements.

Abstract
A holding device for a rim of a vehicle wheel, comprising a base plate, a plurality of retaining elements, a synchronization element, and a locking element for locking a rotational position of at least one of the plurality of retaining elements or the synchronization element. The plurality of retaining elements and the synchronization element comprise corresponding coupling portions for form-fitting coupling of the rotational movement of the plurality of retaining elements and the synchronization element. Any one of the synchronization element or at least one of the plurality of retaining elements comprises an elastic coupling portion, biasing the corresponding coupling portions of the synchronization element and the retaining elements towards each other for ensuring the form-fitting coupling of the synchronization element and the plurality of retaining elements.
