Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate separation and prevent pollution by providing weights of required weight formed using metal with little possibility of causing pollution continuously one by one on an expansive strip formed into an adhesive double coated tape. SOLUTION: An expansive strip 1 is formed into an adhesive double coated tape 2, and weights 4 formed of iron or metal with little possibility of causing pollution are formed one by one on an expansive strip 3 serving as the adhesive double coated tape. The requested number of these weights 4 are successively connected on the expansive strip 3 to constitute a wheel counterweight 5. Since the weights 4 previously formed one by one are thus connected in strip shape, separation is facilitated, and even in the case of using a plurality of weights depending on the size of a wheel, the expansive strip 3 is freely bent from an easy curve to bellows shape so as to be conformed to a curve with any circumferential surface. Since harmful metal such as lead is not used, anxiety about causing pollution can be dissolved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wheel balance weight for an automobile wheel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional wheel balance weight is provided by forming a concave groove 11 in each required section on a single elongated lead plate according to the weight, providing an adhesive S on the back surface, and providing a release paper 9 on the outside. there were.

[0003]

Since the conventional wheel balance weight is formed of a single lead plate, it must be cut using a special pinch than a cutting groove provided for each section. There was a major drawback.

In addition, since the metal is made of soft lead so that it can be easily cut as a whole, lead pollution caused by the lead weight falling during the maintenance of automobile tires occurs, and the used wheel balance weight is collected. There was a problem that required a considerable amount of work.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems and Embodiments As a result of years of hard work, the inventor has formed weights of required weight one by one using relatively inexpensive metals such as iron, which are less likely to cause pollution. These are provided continuously on a tape formed of a double-sided adhesive tape with elastic strips to form wheel balance weights.

[Example 1] A stretchable strip 1 is formed on a double-sided adhesive tape 2, and one weight 4 made of iron or a metal having a low possibility of causing pollution is formed on the stretchable strip 3 also serving as the double-sided adhesive tape. The wheel balance weight 5 is formed by sequentially forming a desired number of the weights 4 on the elastic strip 3 also serving as a double-sided adhesive tape.

[Embodiment 2] The weight 6 of the weight 4 and the identification 7 for enabling computer control at the time of manufacture are provided on the surface of the iron weight 4 manufactured in advance, and the desired number is provided on the double-sided adhesive tape 8. It is installed continuously to form a wheel balance weight.

[Embodiment 3] The stretchable strip 1 is formed on a double-sided adhesive tape 2 and is also used as the double-sided adhesive tape. The weights 4 are formed of iron or other desired metal which is less likely to cause pollution, and the desired number of the weights 4 are successively installed on the elastic strip 3 which also serves as a double-sided adhesive tape. It consists of

[0009] Stretchable strip 3 also serving as double-sided adhesive tape
It is desirable to configure the strength to such a degree that the weight 4 can be relatively easily separated by human power by bending the weight 4 up and down as necessary.

In the second and third embodiments according to the method of the present invention, the ordering and the like can be recognized by the identification mark 7 provided on the weights 4 manufactured in advance one by one, so that orderly automatic production can be performed. It is something that makes it easy.

Reference numeral 9 in the drawing denotes a release paper.

[0012]

As described above, in the present invention, it is necessary to cut the weight 4 by using a special pinch provided on one sheet made of lead 10 from the section recessed portion 11. Unlike the wheel balance weights, the weights 4 formed individually for each piece are connected to the strip in advance using iron or other metal that is less likely to cause pollution. In the case where the weight 4 is provided on the elastic strip 3 which is not required at all and also serves as a double-sided adhesive tape, regardless of the size of the wheel of the car, even if a plurality of weights 4 are used, they are cut one by one. There is no need to remove the belt, and the elastic strip 3 serving as the double-sided adhesive tape formed by the elastic strip 1 is freely bent from a gentle curve to a bellows shape as shown in FIGS. Remarkable effect conforming to curve has the effect, its upper, now exactly, there is a remarkable effect as to completely prevent the occurrence of lead pollution has become a major social problem.
