Abstract

1526727 Vehicle wheel alignment apparatus DUNLOP Ltd 16 Oct 1975 [23 Oct 1974] 45790/74 Heading G1X An alignment measuring unit 10 comprises a support positionable in alignment with a wheel, an alignment sensing means and a locating means which selectively locates the sensing means in either of at least two positions relative to the support. A support tube 11, mounted on feet 12, carries adjustable probes 16 for contacting the wheel, and a mirror 17 lying in a vertical plane and rotatable about a spindle 19. A plate or cam 21, mounted for rotation with the mirror about the spindle 19, has two recesses 23 spaced 90 degrees apart about the spindle; the recesses are engaged by detent 29 of a spring loaded arm 24 to locate the mirror in positions either parallel or perpendicular to the tube 11. The unit is used with a complementary unit Fig. 4 (not shown) comprising a similar support tube, feet and probes but having a viewpiece (42) and a scale instead of the mirror. In use, to measure alignment of wheels on opposite sides of a vehicle, the mirror is set parallel to the tube 11, each unit is aligned with a respective wheel and the viewpiece is rotated until its sighting mark (44) coincides the image thereof seen in the mirror; for measurement of wheels on one side of the vehicle the mirror is set perpendicular to the tube 11 and the unit is aligned successively with the two wheels, readings being taken with the complementary unit positioned perpendicularly to the sides of the vehicle. Instead of the recessed plate 21, interfitting profiled plates Figs. 7-9 (not shown) can be used to locate the mirror. Alternatively or additionally to the mirror being mounted for location in two positions, the viewpiece may be similarly mounted. [GB1526727A]
