Abstract
A device for supporting the wheels of vehicles in general during their attitude check, comprising a horizontal plate (8) which is supported in such a manner as to enable it to undergo rotation and translation within the plane in which it lies, about a position known as the zero position, and means able to disable the mobility of said plate, said means comprising a lower central appendix (11) which is rigid with the plate, and with which there is associated an automatic centering, retention and release system, which is activated and deactivated by a remote command.
Claims8
A device for supporting the wheels of vehicles in general during their attitude check, comprising a horizontal plate (8) which is supported on the device to enable it to undergo rotation and translation within the plane in which it lies, about a position known as the zero position, and first apparatus to disable the mobility of said plate, wherein said first apparatus comprises a lower central appendix (11) fixed to the plate, and an automatic centering, retention and release system, which is activated and deactivated by a remote command and engageable with the appendix, said system comprising two jaws each having opposite sides guided to move in a linear direction relative to each other to mutually engage and disengage the jaws to said appendix transverse to the length of said appendix in a manner symmetrical about said zero position, wherein the movement of said jaws is controlled by at least one linear actuator pivotably engaged on the device with an axis of the actuator substantially parallel and adjacent to the guided sides of the jaws.
