Abstract

A handling device for handling a motor vehicle rim ( 11 ) in an installation for its surface treatment has at least one gripping arm ( 12 ) which can be inserted into a hub ( 26 ) of the rim ( 11 ) and carries at least one pressure element which can be pressed against an inner surface ( 28 ) of the hub ( 26 ). According to the invention, the at least one pressure element ( 18 ) is designed as a cutting edge or as a pointed peg.

Claims (16)

1 . A handling device for handling a motor vehicle rim in an installation for its surface treatment, with at least one gripping arm which can be inserted into a hub of the rim, and which carries at least one pressure element which can be pressed against an inner surface of the hub, wherein the at least one pressure element is in the form of a blade or pointed mandrel.

2 . The handling device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pressure element is a beveled blade.

3 . The handling device of according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one pressure element is a blade with a cutting edge in the form of a circular arc.

4 . The handling device of claim 1 , wherein the handling device has n pressure elements, which are arranged with n-fold symmetry, where n=2, 3, 4, . . .

5 . The handling device of claim 1 , wherein the pressure elements can be pressed onto the inner surface of the hub by force.

6 . The handling device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one pressure element is a blade with a cutting edge in the form of a circular arc.

7 . The handling device of claim 6 , wherein the handling device has n pressure elements, which are arranged with n-fold symmetry, where n=2, 3, 4, . . .

8 . The handling device of claim 3 , wherein the handling device has n pressure elements, which are arranged with n-fold symmetry, where n=2, 3, 4, . . .

9 . The handling device of claim 2 , wherein the handling device has n pressure elements, which are arranged with n-fold symmetry, where n=2, 3, 4, . . .

10 . The handling device of claim 2 , wherein the pressure elements can be pressed onto the inner surface of the hub by force.

11 . The handling device of claim 3 , wherein the pressure elements can be pressed onto the inner surface of the hub by force.

12 . The handling device of claim 6 , wherein the pressure elements can be pressed onto the inner surface of the hub by force.

13 . The handling device of claim 4 , wherein the pressure elements can be pressed onto the inner surface of the hub by force.

14 . The handling device of claim 9 , wherein the pressure elements can be pressed onto the inner surface of the hub by force.
