    摘要: An adapter for a rolling assembly having an axis of rotation (YY′) includes an axially inner end connected to a rim, an axially outer end including an outer reinforcing element and intended to come into contact, via a substantially radial axially inner face, or bearing face, with a bead, a body connecting the axially outer end to the axially inner end so as to form a single piece, including at least one main reinforcement providing the connection between the outer reinforcing element and the inner reinforcing element, and including a substantially axial adapter seat intended to come into contact with a bead. The outer reinforcing element (15) is completely axially on the outside of the bearing face (21), and the outer reinforcing element (15) is a substantially annular structure, referred to as a bead wire, of substantially polygonal section, including at least two first layers of composite and/or metallic material, and at least two second layers of rubber compound, the first and second layers being arranged mutually parallel and in alternation with each other and parallel to the axis YY′.

    摘要: A vehicle wheel includes: a pair of rail members configured as separate members from the rim and fixed to an outer circumferential surface of a well portion of a rim of a wheel; and a sub air chamber member serving as a Helmholtz resonator and disposed between and supported by the rail members. A method of manufacturing the vehicle wheel is also provided. The method includes the steps of: fixing the pair of rail members to the outer circumferential surface of the well portion; and attaching the sub air chamber member to the well portion through the pair of rail members such that the sub air chamber member is supported between the pair of rail members, wherein the rail member fixing step includes fixing the pair of rail members using a jig with the rail members spaced apart by the predetermined distance.

    摘要: A bicycle rim assembly includes a rim defining a central plane and comprising annular inner and outer walls. The outer wall includes first and second bead seats separated by a center well. First and second annular projections are spaced laterally from each other relative to the central plane and extend substantially radially outwardly from the outer wall. Each of the annular projections includes a radially outer face and a laterally inner face. Right and left covers are spaced from each other and are preferably coupled to the rim to cover at least a portion of the laterally inner face and the radially outer face of the first and second annular projections, respectively, and also the first and second bead seats, respectively. One or both of the right and left covers can be fiber reinforced. First and second pieces of tape can be overlapped and used to secure the covers to the rim.

    摘要: A vehicle wheel resonator includes: a resonator main body which is mounted on a vehicle wheel in a tire air chamber between the vehicle wheel and a tire, to define a sub-air chamber; and a communication hole through which the sub-air chamber communicates with the tire air chamber. The communication hole has a first cross-sectional area having a first channel cross-sectional area and a second cross-sectional area having a second channel cross-sectional area. The first channel cross-sectional area is smaller than the second channel cross-sectional area.

    摘要: A non-metallic rim for a wheel which may be used for motorised vehicles. The rim has a barrel, a first flange, a second flange, a first bead seat, a second beat seat and a primary structural component. The primary structural component extends into at least the first flange and the barrel, and the primary structural component is capable of bearing the majority of the radial and/or lateral load that is borne by the rim during usage. Additionally, the rim has at least a portion of the first bead seat spaced apart from the primary structural component and/or has a protective insert in between the outer face of the first flange and the primary structural component.

    摘要: A composite wheel assembly and method of construction thereof is provided. The composite wheel assembly includes a wheel having an inwardly facing surface, an outwardly facing surface, a generally cylindrical barrel portion, and a plurality of apertures formed about a central hub aperture. At least one wheel cladding is fixedly bonded to at least one of the inwardly facing surface, the outwardly facing surface, and the generally cylindrical barrel portion. The wheel cladding increases the stiffness and/or strength of the wheel between about 2-16% or greater as compared to the wheel not having the at least one cladding.
