Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a rim replacing method for a tire testing machine of the present invention, one pair of the rims satisfying predetermined conditions relative to a test tire are selected, from among a pair of rims attached to the upper and lower spindles and plural pairs of rims loaded in a rim replacing device, as object rims, and rim replacement is performed if the rims loaded in the rim replacing device are selected as the object rims, so that the nonuniformity of rim can be suitably measured. The predetermined conditions include a condition in which a diameter of bead portions of the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine corresponds to a diameter of the object rims, and a condition in which a width of the bead portions of the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine falls within a range in which a space between the object rims is adjustable.

Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A rim replacing method for a tire testing machine in which a pair of rims attached to upper and lower spindles and any of a plurality of pairs of rims loaded in a rim replacing device are replaced with each other, the method comprising: a selection step of selecting, from among the pair of rims and the plurality of pairs of rims, one pair of rims satisfying predetermined conditions relative to a tire conveyed into the tire testing machine as object rims; and a replacement step of replacing the pair of rims with the object rims if the rims loaded in the rim replacing device are selected as the object rims, wherein the predetermined conditions include a condition in which a diameter of bead portions of the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine corresponds to a diameter of the object rims, and a condition in which a width of the bead portions of the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine falls within a range in which a space between the object rims is adjustable. 2. The rim replacing method for the tire testing machine according to claim 1 , wherein rims that satisfy measurement conditions are associated in advance with the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine, and the predetermined conditions include association with the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine. 3. A rim replacing method for a tire testing machine in which a pair of rims attached to upper and lower spindles and any of a plurality of pairs of rims loaded in a rim replacing device are replaced with each other, the method comprising: a selection step of selecting, from among the pair of rims and the plurality of pairs of rims, one pair of rims satisfying predetermined conditions relative to a tire conveyed into the tire testing machine as object rims; and a replacement step of replacing the pair of rims with the object rims if the rims loaded in the rim replacing device are selected as the object rims, wherein the predetermined conditions include a condition in which a diameter of bead portions of the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine corresponds to a diameter of the object rims, and a condition in which a measurement location of the lateral run-out in the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine is located at an outer side relative to an outer circumference of the object rims. 4. The rim replacing method for the tire testing machine according to claim 3 , wherein the predetermined conditions include a condition in which a width of the bead portions of the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine falls within a range in which a space between the object rims is adjustable. 5. The rim replacing method for the tire testing machine according to claim 3 , wherein rims that satisfy measurement conditions are associated in advance with the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine, and the predetermined conditions include association with the tire conveyed into the tire testing machine.
