| Abstract: |
A device for making multiple wheel measurements, which is used to measure the center line distance between adjacent lug bolt holes of a wheel or lug bolts of a hub, with graduated indicia directly displaying the wheel mounting diameters of automotive wheels in trade sizes, which will also measure the pilot diameter of a wheel and hub. This will determine the wheel mounting pattern and pilot diameter, which will determine the compatibility of a automotive wheel and hub.

First Claim:
Show all 5 claims |
I claim:
1. A Wheel and Hub Gauge for making multiple measurements of automotive wheels and hubs with a plurality of lug bolts, which comprises: an elongated frame member generally forming a channel, the recessed side of said channel being the back and opposite the face, with at least one divided scale of graduated indicia on said face, said divided scale having a first scale portion in inches and fractions of an inch and a second scale portion in millimeters, representative of the manufactures published mounting pattern in trade sizes, respective of the number of lug bolts; a pair of members extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said frame member, having a first end portion attached to said frame member, an elongated mid portion and a tapered second end portion, one of said members being in a fixed position on said frame member proximate one end thereof, the other member being mounted on and adjustable along the length of said frame member, said first end portion defining a channel open at its opposite edges with the recessed side of said channel being the back and opposite the front, said members having a predetermined width that enables only one of said opposite edges of said first end portion of said adjustable member to intersect a graduation of said divided scale, of either said first scale portion which is in correlation with the first edge or said second scale portion which is in correlation with the second edge of said opposite edges, when moved along said frame member; wherein when said tapered second end portions engage adjacent lug bolt holes when gauging a wheel or where the same side of the opposite edges of said elongated mid portions abut adjacent lug bolts when gauging a hub, directly reading said manufactures published mounting pattern in trade sizes, where one of said opposite edges intersects a graduation of said divided scale of graduated indicia.
