An automobile rotisserie may include a pair of support columns, a neck clamp clamped to each support column, a rotation assembly attached to each neck clamp, a swing arm clamp attached to each rotation assembly, a swing arm received in and clamped by each swing arm clamp, a balancing assembly effect
An automobile rotisserie may include a pair of support columns, a neck clamp clamped to each support column, a rotation assembly attached to each neck clamp, a swing arm clamp attached to each rotation assembly, a swing arm received in and clamped by each swing arm clamp, a balancing assembly effective for controlling the movement and positioning of the swing arm within the swing arm clamp, and a mounting arm extending from each swing arm. Each neck clamp and/or swing arm clamp may include an L-shaped outer clamp plate and a W-shaped inner clamp plate. Each rotation assembly may include an outer sleeve attached to a neck clamp, an inner insert sleeve attached to a swing arm clamp, a plurality of ball bearings between the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve to facilitate rotational movement of the inner sleeve within the outer sleeve, and a retainer bearing to retain the inner sleeve within the outer sleeve. The balancing assembly may include a threaded balancer block attached to a swing arm clamp, an unthreaded balancer block attached to a swing arm, a threaded rod extending through the threaded balancer block and through the unthreaded balancer block, a gripping head at one end of the threaded rod, a thrust bearing assembly sandwiching the unthreaded balancer block, and a locking collar fixed to the threaded rod adjacent the thrust bearing assembly and the unthreaded balancer block.
