Abstract
This patent was filed on December 21, 2022 and was published online on February 27, 2024. From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the following quote: “Removal of wheels from vehicle wheel hubs and plac ing old tires with new tires onto the removed wheels is a manual and time-intens ive process. Often a vehicle is jacked up or lifted by a manually operated hydra ulic lift or vehicle jack. Lug nuts are then manually removed via a torque wrenc h or tire iron. Once the lug nuts are removed, the wheel and tire are then physi cally handled and removed from a wheel-hub. Such manual operations may lead to i nefficient operations, and potential physical hazards to a person removing the w heel and tire from the vehicle.”
