Abstract: A hub for use in and as part of a wheel support assembly adapted to bolt to the end plate of an axle of a vehicle for supporting a tire is disclosed herein along with the wheel support assembly itself. The hub is configured as a plurality of bars which are connected together to form a hub body. This hub body defines a common center point and a contact face. The contact face is where the hub is in contact with the axle end plate when the device is mounted to a vehicle. Each of the bars has on one side a contact surface, and a through hole for receiving an axle lug bolt. The contact surface on each of the bars has a curved shape on its outwardly most extending end, the curvature of which is defined by a radius less than the distance between the common center point of the hub body and the outwardly most extending end of the bars.

Abstract: A wheel for a vehicle, particularly a spare wheel for a motor vehicle, has an outer and an inner rim disk which are connected with one another, these rims disks together forming a rim well. The ring disks have interior and exterior ring webs which are spaced with respect to one another and extend approximately in the wheel axis direction and have corresponding facing connection surfaces. Together with the walls of the two rim disks, the ring webs have an annulus which extends around the wheel hub and from it close toward the rim well of the wheel in a limited manner.

Abstract: A structure for connecting a rim with a tire. The tire is formed with a central axial through hole. Multiple annularly arranged perforations are formed around the through hole. Each perforation is defined by a close circumference which is separated from the through hole by a separating section, whereby the circumference of the perforation is enclosed and the perforation simply axially passes through the tire. The rim is composed of a seat and a cooperative disc. The seat has insertion members respectively corresponding to the perforations of the tire. The insertion members are inserted into the perforations from one side of the tire, while the disc is mounted on the other side of the tire to connect with the seat.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method of joining forged, machined, formed or cast components with a metal tube. In another aspect, it concerns a metal object constructed according to the method. The tube is heated to expand its diameter, but not sufficiently to anneal it, or otherwise adversely affect its mechanical properties. Then, while the tube is still hot, it is pushed over part of the central component so that part of the tube overlies a circumferential groove in the central component. Then, while still hot, the circumferential part of the tube which overlies the groove, is rolled into the groove, so that when cooled the rolled part of the tube is clamped into the groove. The invention is particularly, but not exclusively, applicable to the construction of vehicle wheels having a forged, machined, formed or cast hub or center and a metal rim.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved full face vehicle wheel including a wheel rim joined to a wheel disc. The wheel rim defines an axis and includes an inboard tire bead seat retaining flange, an inboard tire bead seat, an axially extending well, and an outboard tire bead seat. The outboard tire bead seat of the wheel rim terminates at an endmost surface. The wheel disc includes a body having a centrally located wheel mounting surface and an outer annular portion. The outer annular portion of the wheel disc defines an outboard tire bead seat retaining flange of the full face wheel. The outer annular portion of the wheel disc includes a protuberance formed therein. The protuberance defines a generally radially extending non-flat outer surface and a generally radially extending inner surface. The inner surface of the protuberance defines a fit-up surface for receiving the endmost surface of the wheel rim and a weld to join the wheel disc to the wheel rim. The protuberance in the outer flange of the wheel disc is effective to improve the styling of the full face wheel.

Abstract: This invention relates to a full face vehicle wheel including a wheel rim joined to a wheel disc. The disc includes a body having a wheel mounting surface and an outer annular portion which defines an outboard tire bead seat retaining flange of the wheel. The outer annular portion includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer surface defines a radially extending outer surface in the region of the outboard tire bead seat retaining flange, and the inner surface defines a radially extending inner fit up surface. The outer annular portion further includes a non-radially extending inner surface spaced directly inwardly of the inner fit up surface. The rim defines an axis and includes an inboard tire bead seat retaining flange, an inboard tire bead seat, an axially extending well, and an outboard tire bead seat which terminates at an extruded inturned flange. The inturned flange includes a radially inwardly extending first outer surface, a non-radially extending second outer surface, an inner surface, and an endmost surface. The radially inwardly extending first outer surface defines an outer control surface. When the outer control surface of the rim is positioned adjacent the inner fit up surface of the disc and the rim and disc joined together by the weld, the non-radially extending second outer surface of the inturned flange contacts at least a portion of the non-radially extending inner surface of said disc to reduce a radial distance of the radially extending outer surface of the disc in the region of the outboard tire bead seat retaining flange.
