    Abstract: A wheel rim assembly comprises a pair of annular rim sections each having a rim flange secured on an outboard end thereof for retaining an air-inflated tire thereon. A pair of back-to-back mounting flanges extend radially inwardly from inboard ends of the rim sections and are bolted together. One of the mounting flanges preferably extends radially inwardly beyond the other mounting flange and is adapted to be bolted to an axle hub of a vehicle. At least two latch means are mounted on peripheral portions of the rim sections to straddle the same for releasably attaching them together. Carrying forth the method of this invention, the tire is first deflated whereby a tool may be inserted through an opening formed through one of the rim sections to release the latch means to provide for separation of the rim sections upon release of the bolts.

    Abstract translation: 轮辋组件包括一对环形边缘部分,每个环形边缘部分具有固定在其外侧的边缘凸缘,用于在其上保持充气的轮胎。 一对背对背安装凸缘从边缘部分的内侧端部径向向内延伸并且螺栓连接在一起。 安装凸缘中的一个优选地径向向内延伸超过另一个安装凸缘,并且适于被螺栓连接到车辆的轴毂。 至少两个闩锁装置安装在边缘部分的周边部分上,以跨越它们以可释放地将它们连接在一起。 实施本发明的方法,轮胎首先放气,由此工具可以插入通过一个边缘部分形成的开口,以释放闩锁装置,以在释放螺栓时提供边缘部分的分离。
