摘要: Vehicle wheels and methods of making vehicle wheels are provided. A vehicle wheel comprises a generally annular first region, a second region, and a flange extension. The first region comprises an inner surface and an outer surface comprising a tire bead seat. The second region extends radially inwardly from the first region. The second region is configured to mount to a vehicle axle. The flange extension extends from the first region in a direction away from the second region. The flange extension comprises a first extension end integral with the first region, a second extension end, and an elongate portion intermediate the first extension end and the second extension end. The elongate portion comprising a first portion with a thickness less than a thickness of the second extension end.

摘要: An aircraft wheel hub protector is adapted to engage an aircraft wheel including an aircraft tire on a rim. The aircraft wheel hub protector having two or more cover sections with a protective protrusion and coupling mechanism guide extending from the a first cover section and passing through a bearing race and internal surface within a hub of the rim of the aircraft wheel in such a fashion so as to provide a void within the protective protrusion. The second cover section is engaged with an opposed side of the aircraft wheel from the first cover section. A coupling mechanism passes through the void in the protective protrusion without having contact with the bearing race and internal surfaces within the hub of the rim and coupling the first cover section and securing the aircraft wheel hub protector to the aircraft wheel.

摘要: An improved wheel cover for large commercial vehicle trailers is disclosed. It includes simple and robust mechanism for attachment with the wheel, facilitates easy installation and removal, and provides better aerodynamics and fuel efficiency during travel. In a preferred embodiment, an annular flexible shell cover (covering an annular magnet) of the wheel cover, deforms and frictionally fits into hollow of a corresponding wheel flange, and the annular magnet (lying under the shell cover) keeps the shell cover magnetically attached (with a strong magnetic bonding) with the flange. Hence, in addition to the magnetic bonding, the installed wheel cover is held in place by a friction fitting between the shell cover and the flange. The outer side of the wheel cover can either be kept planar or curved, and its surface can be dimpled or smooth.

摘要: A wheel assembly includes a wheel having a surface and defining a plurality of slots and a cap having a cap surface. The cap includes a plurality of positioning posts extending from the cap surface, each positioning post including a pillar and a stop fixed to the pillar. The pillar extends farther from the cap surface than the stop. The stop has a distal end. Each pillar is received by one of the slots of the wheel and the distal end of each stop is engaged with the surface of the wheel.

摘要: A magnetic hub plug apparatus for sealing a wheel hub and detecting wheel bearing failure includes a plug body having a plug outer side, a plug inner side, and a plug edge. A seal ring has a proximal perimeter coupled to the plug inner side, a distal perimeter, and a seal sidewall extending from the proximal perimeter to the distal perimeter. The seal ring is configured to sealingly fit within a wheel hub cap. A magnet extension is coupled to the seal ring. The magnet extension extends from the seal sidewall and dips within an oil reservoir of the wheel hub cap with each rotation. A magnet insert is coupled within the magnet extension to collect particles from a faulty wheel bearing. A plug grip is coupled to the plug body and extends from the plug outer side.

摘要: Decorative trim panel on a motor vehicle rim (1), consisting of at least one plate-shaped trim part (9, 10) which at least partially covers the visible side of the motor vehicle rim (1) and which can be settleable in a load-transmitting manner to the spokes (2, 3) and/or to the rim ring (6) of the rim (1) by means of counter holding and/or latching means (14, 74, 75), wherein the counter holding means on the trim part side are formed from at least one latching foot (14) which is integrally formed on the surface of the trim part (9, 10), a hook head (107) integrally formed thereon, and in that the latching foot (14) is part of a latching connection (74) on the trim part (9, 10), the bending of which is effected by a locking slide (91, 101) which is formed to be displaceable and lockable in a latching gap (72) of the latching connection (74) and selectively consolidates or releases the latching connection (74) and therby bends or returns the latching foot (14) towards the rim side.

摘要: A cooling fan mounted on the hub between two tires of a vehicle, especially large tractor trucks and trailers. The wheel mounted cooling fan has a multiplicity of fan blades which extend inwardly and downwardly toward the rim of the interior tire and is mounted between the rims of the inner tire and outer tire with the rear surface of the wheel mounted cooling fan facing the inner tire. The inner fan serves to provide beneficial effect including cooling of the brakes and increasing fuel mileage of the truck. While primarily intended for use with large trucks, the cooling fan can also be sized to fit smaller trucks which have two pairs of wheels in the front and/or the back.
