The invention relates to a device for attaching a balancing weight (2) to a mounting surface (17) on an inner side (3) of a rim dish of a wheel rim (4) and provides for a mounting head (1) to be dimensioned in such a way that it fits into the rim dish. The mounting head (1) includes a support element (5), which is radially displaceable relative to the wheel rim (4) and on which a feeler element (6) is axially movably arranged, the feeler element (6) having a convex contact surface (14) and a receptacle (12) for at least one balancing weight (2), said receptacle being oriented towards the inner side (3). The mounting head (1) is configured in such a way that the contact surface (14) may be brought into contact with a boundary surface (18) of the inner side (3), and may be displaced along said boundary surface until the balancing weight (2) comes radially into contact with the mounting surface (17).
A device for attaching a balancing weight (2) to a mounting surface (17) on an inner side (3) of a rim dish of a wheel rim (4), comprising a mounting head (1) which is dimensioned in such a way that it fits into the rim dish and which includes a support element (5), which is radially displaceable relative to the wheel rim (4) and on which a feeler element (6) is axially movably arranged, the feeler element (6) having a circular arc-shaped curved contact surface (14) which is convex in radial section and a receptacle (12) for at least one balancing weight (2), wherein the feeler element is displaceable relative to the support element transversely to movement of the support element, said receptacle being oriented towards the inner side (3) and the mounting head (1) being configured in such a way that the contact surface (14) is brought into contact with a boundary surface (18) of the inner side (3), and is displaceable along said boundary surface until the balancing weight (2) comes radially into contact with the mounting surface (17).
A method for attaching a balancing weight (2) to a mounting surface (17) on an inner side (3) of a rim dish of a wheel rim (4), comprising the following steps:
