Abstract: A wheel for a vehicle including an outer rim and an inner rim, in which the outer rim is comprised of a disk section formed by embossing a first portion having a certain thickness and a rim section formed by drawing a second portion having a smaller thickness than the first portion so as to make a periphery of the disk section; and the inner rim is comprised of superimposed portions formed by drawing and to be superimposed on prescribed positions of the disk section of the outer rim. Flange sections of the outer and inner rims are respectively inwardly curled so as to form a double-layered structure. The outer and inner rims are integrated by welding with the superimposed portions set at the prescribed positions of the disk section.

Abstract: A multi-piece safety wheel includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced, interlocking bosses and tabs on the inner rim portion and outer rim portion. In the event of improper disassembly of the wheel with an inflated tire mounted thereon, any failure of the wheel assembly fasteners will result in the outer rim portion separating from the inner rim portion a sufficient distance to vent air pressure from within the tire, at which point the interlocking bosses and tabs resist further movement of the outer rim portion. The outer rim portion is thereby resisted from becoming a potentially dangerous projectile. A method of safely deflating the tire upon improper disassembly of the multi-piece safety wheel is also provided.

Abstract: A multi-part automotive wheel comprises first and second wheel discs having first and second mating surfaces, respectively, where the first and second discs are to be joined to each other. An annular radial groove is disposed on one of the first and second surfaces for receiving an O-ring for sealing the first surface in respect of the second surface. The groove includes a substantially radial basewall and first and second sidewalls which extend from the basewall toward an intermediate section and from the section toward both edges of the groove, the edges defining a radial groove opening which is smaller than a distance between the sidewalls at the section such that an O-ring having a larger cross-sectional diameter larger than the opening will be retained within the groove prior to the discs being joined together. The basewall merges with the first and second sidewalls with rounded corners to reduce concentration of stress at the corners.

Abstract: An automotive passenger vehicle, full-face styled wheel construction having a sheet metal disc with an outer peripheral portion formed to provide an outboard tire bead retaining flange. The rim includes an inboard tire bead retaining flange, an inboard tire bead seat portion, a drop-center well portion and an outboard bead seat portion. The outboard edge of the rim has a radially in-turned flange portion extending circumferentially continuously around the rim edge with a plurality of serrations on an outside surface thereof that engage the disc. The rim and disc parts are permanently joined by a circumferentially continuous weld between the radially in-turned flange portion of the rim and the disc and into at least some of the serrations. The serrations eliminate or substantially reduce weld splatter by allowing weld gases to flow and escape evenly, and reduce weld material runout by providing high points for leveling during welding. Machining of the weld is eliminated.

Abstract: A wheel adapted for use by an automotive vehicle is provided. Such a wheel comprises a circular rim having an outer edge and defining an axis and a transverse plane perpendicular to the axis. A disc is operably engaged with the outer edge of the rim so as to be in coaxial relation with the rim. The disc has a plurality of radially-extending spokes and defines a vent window between successive spokes, wherein the vent window has a radially outermost portion. A valve defining an axis, and having a mounting end and a beak end, is adapted for filling and controlling pressure in a tire mounted on the wheel. A bore defined by the rim is configured to receive the valve therein such that the mounting end is operably engaged with the bore at a mounting point and the beak end extends outwardly of the rim and through the vent window. The bore and the valve are configured such that an angle between the transverse plane and the axis of the valve is substantially less than an angle between the transverse plane and a line defined by the mounting point and the radially outermost portion of the vent window. Other wheels are also provided.
