Abstract:
A wheel includes a multi-layered rim, a sealing tape and a pressure-resistant tape. The multi-layered rim includes two layers. The first layer includes apertures for nipples. The second layer includes apertures corresponding to the apertures of the first layer. The sealing tape is used to wrap the second layer to seal the apertures of the second layer. The pressure-resistant tape is used to cover and support the sealing tape against high pressure.
Abstract:
A recess is formed on the periphery of each of through-holes that go through a rim cavity, and the outer surface of a rim part is cut while a seal member for sealing the through-hole is positioned on the recess. It is thereby possible to stably manufacture a vehicle wheel in which swarf tends not to remain inside the rim cavity. Furthermore, it is not necessary to avoid the seal member for sealing the through-hole when cutting the outer surface of the rim part, and the outer surface of the rim part can be cut without any distinction having to be made between the periphery of the through-hole and the rest of the outer surface. Any increase in manufacturing costs can be minimized.
Abstract:
A hermetically sealed wheel assembly which has been welding autogenously is provided, along with a method and system for welding the wheel assembly. The wheel assembly is made up of at least two components which are laser welded to each other without the use of filler material to create a hermetically sealed wheel assembly.
Abstract:
The wheel (1) comprises a rim (2) and a hub (3) between which a plurality of spokes (4) are connected. The rim has a radially recessed, cylindrical outer surface (2a-2d) with a channel-shaped cross-section and is provided with a plurality of drilled seats (6) each intended for the attachment of a respective nipple (5) for the connection of a spoke (4). Annular sealing members (13) are provided between each nipple (5) and the corresponding drilled seat (6) of the rim (2).The wheel (1) further comprises a circumferential, band-like seal (14) which is made of resilient material, is fitted on the rim (2), and extends over the recessed cylindrical surface of the rim (2) in a circumferentially stretched condition so as sealingly to cover all of the drilled seats (6).
Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle wheel which can be manufactured at low cost, exhibits superior design characteristics, and with which mechanical strength can be adequately ensured. The vehicle wheel has a construction that is split into an outer-rim member that constitutes an outer-rim part, and a wheel-constituting member comprising an integral molding that constitutes an inner-rim part and disk part, wherein the outer-rim member end portion on the attachment face side is formed so as to be capable of fitting over the wheel-constituting member; an annular groove is formed in the engaging face of the wheel-constituting member which engages with the outer-rim member; and the outer-rim member is integrally fastened to the wheel-constituting member by press-fitting the outer-rim member end portion on the attachment face side inside the annular groove.
Abstract:
A tubeless spoked wheel including a rim and a hub connected with wire spokes includes a rim that has no through-hole and is narrow in the vehicle width direction. A plurality of internal threads are aligned circumferentially in an annular raised portion arranged along the centerline of a rim. A connecting member that is hollow and has an external thread on its outer periphery is screwed into each internal thread. Each connecting member is pre-engaged with a distal end of a spoke in a rotatable manner. Each spoke bends at a position outward from the connecting member, tilts toward a hub, and has its basal end connected to a right or left flange of the hub with a nipple. The spokes are connected to the annular raised portion to narrow the rim in the vehicle width direction. The spokes are rotatably supported on the connecting members.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an aircraft wheel comprising a rim and a tyre (20) received on the rim, the rim comprising two parts (1; 2) assembled with one another by means of assembly bolts (5), one of the parts comprising a recess (3) in which is arranged a seal (4) which is interposed between the two parts, the wheel being characterized in that at least one of the parts comprises at least one duct (6) extending beneath the seal so as to establish a leakage path between on one hand a volume of gas delimited by the rim and the tyre, and on the other hand a space between the parts, the path being nominally closed by the seal when the bolts are tightened correctly but allowing gas to leak from said volume when the bolt associated with said opening is not tightened correctly or is absent.
Abstract:
A bicycle wheel including a hub and a rim coupled to the hub. The wheel also includes a cover that is coupled to rim and that defines a bead seat engageable by a tire. The rim can have a first annular feature and the cover can have a second annular feature that is complementary to the first annular feature to attach the cover to the rim.
