Description: |
| Abstract:
In a great many wheel presses now in use, it is necessary to use, in connection therewith, shimming blocks, in order to bring the wheels of different diameters into axial alinement with the press. This mode of adjusting the car wheels, in respect to the press, takes a great deal of time, besides being very laborious. To expedite the work as much as possible, it is customary to sort the wheels of a. given diameter into groups, and to place or remove, on their axle, all the wheels of one group separately, in order to reduce to a minimum the number of times the wheel support must be adjusted. This sorting of the wheels also takes a great deal of time, as well as shop room.
Claim:
The combination with a wheel press, of a vertically adjustable wheel rest having an approach plate over which wheels may be rolled onto said wheel rest, and means for vertically adjusting said wheel rest to bring the wheels into alinement with the wheel press. |
