Abstract: A spare wheel assembly comprising a tire and a rim to which the tire is attached is disclosed. The rim includes a center mounting plate having a center bore, inner and outer opposed flanges, and a disk between the center bore and the flanges. The disk includes a pair of elongated, curved slots formed on opposite sides of the center bore. Each of the slots is an ergonomically-formed hand hold for receiving fingers of an operator's hand. The inner and outer opposed flanges of the rim define perimeters of the rim between which the tire is held. The curved slots are concentric with respect to the perimeter of the outer flange and with respect to the center bore. A centerline is formed radially through the assembly. The disk is positioned on one side of the centerline and the mounting plate is positioned on the other side of the centerline.

Abstract: A wheel assembly for use on vehicles in rugged conditions including, without limitation, off-road and trail conditions. A rim assembly having a rim flange is supported by a central hub member. The rim flange has a bead seat and allows a tire—including an under inflated tire—to flex without chaffing or cutting of the tire. A sacrificial abrasion ring is mounted to the outer surface of the rim flange. An optional removable accessory cap can mount to the wheel assembly to prevent mud, snow and/or other debris from collecting in the center of the wheel assembly.

Abstract: Each spoke portion (50) includes a center valley portion (51), and spoke projecting threads (52) formed on both sides of the center valley portion (51). Each of the spoke projecting threads (52) includes an inclined surface portion (54), which protrudes outward in a spoke widthwise direction from a top (53) and inclines downward to a wheel axially back side. The inclined surface portion (54) is formed so that a length thereof in a range of from the top (53) to an outer end of the inclined surface portion (54) in the spoke widthwise direction becomes larger toward a spoke distal end side, and that an average downward inclination angle thereof becomes smaller toward the spoke distal end side. With this configuration, it is possible to increase rigidity of the spoke portion with good balance while avoiding interference with a braking device.

Abstract: A hat portion of a wheel disk includes a hat inner inclined circumferential portion and a hat outer inclined circumferential portion. At least one of the hat inner inclined circumferential portion and the hat outer inclined circumferential portion includes: a plurality of curved protruding circumferential portions that protrude toward a surface side into a curved shape; and at least one curved recessed circumferential portion that is provided between the adjacent curved protruding circumferential portions and that is recessed toward a back side into a curved shape. The hat portion of this construction provides a significant effect in improving stiffness because of the shapes of the curved protruding circumferential portions and the curved recessed circumferential portion. Consequently, an automobile wheel has improved overall stiffness and strength. Therefore, a car on which the automobile wheel is mounted can provide increased driving stability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a toy comprising at least two parallel wheels each comprising a hub (14), a rim (16) provided with a tread (18), and a plurality of spokes (20) made of an elastically deformable material. The unit formed by the hub and the spokes is mounted into the rim under compressive stress on the spokes, so as to produce, by buckling effect, a bending of the spokes curving these latter and offsetting axially the plane of the hub with respect to that of the rim. The unit can hence take two stable positions in the direction of bending of the spokes, i.e. an extended position with an enlarged track and a retracted position with a reduced track. It is just needed to apply an external mechanical effort on the rim, in one direction or the other, to reverse the direction of bending of the spokes, and thus to switch from the extended position to the retracted position, or vice versa.
Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种玩具,其包括至少两个平行轮,每个轮包括轮毂(14),设置有胎面(18)的轮辋(16)和由弹性变形材料制成的多个轮辐(20)。 由轮毂和轮辐形成的单元在轮辐上的压缩应力下安装在轮辋内,以便通过弯曲效应产生弯曲这些后者的轮辐的弯曲,并相对于该轮毂轴向偏移轮毂的平面。 的边缘。 因此,该单元可以沿着辐条的弯曲方向,即具有放大轨道的延伸位置和具有减小的轨道的缩回位置的两个稳定位置。 只需要在轮辋上沿一个方向或另一个方向施加外部机械力,以反转轮辐的弯曲方向,并且因此从延伸位置转换到缩回位置,反之亦然。
