PARIS BAR- a citizen of the United States, resid.

of Cool; and State oflllinois, have inventeda new and useful Gar-Wheel-Balancing Machine, of which the following is a specification."

Fig. t is a longiof the mandrel E, showing location of friction- Wheel J and lever'K and sleeve G.- upon the mandrel when located in the bore of a carwheel.

The standards 13 at their top ends have each two circular hearings, into which take the spindles (J of the carrying from their spindles O as an axis, and are situated in pairs, one pair with the other, so that the peripheries of said wheels form a revolving bearing for a mandrel or shaft, so that when a shaft or mandrel is situated above and upon the peripheries of the carrying-wheels and turned around 'the said mandrel or shaft of said carrying-wheels.- The mandrelE is correspond mandrel E,

Gis a loose sleeve, made in several sections, as shown in Fig. 5, and is bored tapered towith the central or middle part of and of an exterior diameter to suit the bore of a car-wheel. The middle or central part of sleeve .Gjas shod-hie. section in Fig. l, is less in dianieter'than at the ends of sleeve, and upon the smaller part of sleeve G are placed scv eral rubber rings a", that assist to keep the several sections of sleeve together when. it is taken oil or placed upon the main drel E.

'lhe'pla'te g of sleeve G is circular, and is secured to the several. sections oi the sleeve G by several bolts g", that clam the said plate to one end of the several sections of sleeve G. The bolt-holes in the pla g made oblong, toadinit the several sections oi sleeve G to expand or contract, accordin as the sleeve is moved up or down npon the mandrel it.

The circular ring ll. oi the mandrel E has several SQ-luw colts 72 taking into the said e at each end, and the central or middlepart I two oblong ring, the said. colts screwing out or in, so that they can be brought to bear against the ends of the several. sections oi sleeve t The friction-Wheel J upon the mandrel E supports an arm erlever K, that is secured to the hub of movable collar 7', attached to the hub of fric- The friction-whccl il iv till; at

The knob n of spring-balance is now acted open by the'hend-"ot' the. operator to force down the lever K, and at the some time to compress the spring of spring-balance, the compression of the spring indicating the number of'p'ounds of pressure it takes to force the lever K down? and turn the mandrel E, with its cam-wheel F; around at the sition the said lever occupies The lever K only require;

the journals 6, a mandrel E, and a tapered sleeve Gr, adapted to the central inclined part of mandrel E, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a car-Wheel-balancing machine, a mandrel E and friction-wheel J, combined with movable lever K, supporting a pivotal eccentric friction-wheel L, with spring 7?, adjusted to hold friction-Wheel L in contact with friction-wheel J, substantiallyas shown and described.

3. In .a car-Wheel-balancing machine, the combination of the journals 0, a mandrel E, a lever K, and a spring-balance N, for indicatint the resistance or pressure required to'move said mandrel in a curvilinear direction when suspended from its journals a, substantially 4. In a car-Wheel-balancing machine, the combination of a mandrel E, perforated with oblong holes e, having projecting cotter i, the circular ring H, adjustable screws 7L, taking' over mandrel E, and the screwbolts S S, taking into ends of mandrel to actuate the ring 11 through the cotter 1', so that sleeve G can be removed or forced up the central inclined part of mandrel, substantially as shown and described.

5. In a car-wheel-balaneing machine, the combination of a mandrel -E and divided sleeve G with circular plate g, attached by bolts g, and the rubber rings '1', encircling sleeve G, whereby expansion and contraction of said sleeve are permitted with reference to mandrel, substantially as shown and described.

6. In a ear-wheel-balanci11g machine, the combination of the standards ll, provided with pivotal Wheels D, the mandrel E, bearing upon and revolving from peripheries of Wheels D, and the sleeve G, taking onto mandrel E, so that a car wheel can be suspended from its bore and revolved with the mandrel E, suspended from the peripheries of carrying-wheels D, substantially'as shown and described.
