A dual wheel axle assembly for a vehicle is provided for reducing tire wear caused by scrubbing during vehicle turns. The assembly includes an axle housing having an axle shaft arranged within the axle housing. The axle shaft defines a rotational axis. A first wheel hub is supported on an end portion of the axle housing and is mechanically coupled to the axle shaft. A second wheel hub is supported on the end portion adjacent to the first wheel hub. A fluid coupling is interconnected between the axle shaft and the second wheel hub. The fluid coupling has fluid for fluidly driving the second wheel hub through the axle shaft and permitting the second wheel hub to rotate about the rotational axis relative to the first wheel hub during the vehicle turn. |

A multi-disc wheel assembly for a vehicle is provided. The multi-disc wheel assembly includes a plurality of narrow discs assemblies that form a wheel assembly. The plurality of narrow disc assemblies include first and second narrow disc assemblies. A first independent drive mechanism applies a rotational force to the first narrow disc assembly to produce a first speed. A second independent drive mechanism applies a rotational force to the second narrow disc assembly to produce a second speed unequal to the first speed during a vehicle turn to minimize wheel assembly scrub. |

A two-piece hub extension for adding dual wheels to a mechanical front-wheel drive axle of an agricultural tractor has an inner extension ring that surrounds the final drive cover of the front axle and an outer extension member of reduced diameter that extends outward from the inner extension ring. The inner extension ring only extends outward far enough to clear the axle final drive cover. The inner ring is mounted by bolts that extend entirely through ring so that the bolt heads are external of the inner ring and can be easily reached. The outer extension member is mounted to the inner extension ring by long bolts extending through the inner extension ring and into the hub. The dual wheel is mounted to the outer wheel hub. The reduced diameter of the outer extension member results in improved crop clearance between the two tires. |

A road wheel for track-laying vehicles having a wear surface exposed to abrasive contact with the track guide lugs, which wear surface is formed by a wear-resistant material embedded in and surrounded by a matrix which forms an integral part of the wheel structure. The wear-resistant material may comprise a lubricant such as fibers, particles and/or bands of graphite, molybdenum disulfide, nylon, Teflon or other self-lubricating plastics which reduce friction between the wheel and track. Alternatively or conjointly, the wear-resistant material may comprise fibers, particles and/or bands of steel, tungsten carbide or ceramic. Where the wheel is of molded construction, such as aluminum or fiber-reinforced resin, the wear-resistant material may be molded into position adjacent to and the wear surface at the time of wheel manufacture. Where the wheel is preformed, the wear-resistant material may be bonded in a separately-formed resin matrix which is then permanently affixed to the road wheel shoulder. |

Disclosed is a wheel for attachment to the axle of a vehicle having a rim with a pair of mounting surfaces formed on the periphery of the rim for attaching a pair of pneumatic tires in a spaced parallel relationship. A flange is located between the mounting surfaces and extends radially outward between the tires. A cylindrical contact surface formed on the exterior of the flange carries a tread thereon. An inwardly extending flange is provided with bores for attaching the rim to lug bolts of a vehicle axle. A pair of inflation check valves are attached to the rim to communicate respectively with the interior of each of the pneumatic tires. A flow passage is provided in the rim interconnecting the pneumatic tires for allowing restricted air flow therebetween.

HAGER C |
A shock absorbing wheel suspension for vehicles in which the ground engaging wheel is mounted for limited vertical and horizontal movement relative to a base by forward and rear wheel support brackets that are pivotally interconnected at their adjacent ends on the wheel axle and which are pivotally supported at their outer ends for vertical swinging and horizontal shifting movement on forward and rear suspension brackets pivotally connected to the base. Forward and rear spring assemblies are arranged to engage the forward and rear wheel support brackets to yieldably bias the wheel support brackets angularly in a direction to oppose upward movement of the wheel assembly and to also yieldably bias the forward and rear wheel support brackets horizontally in relatively opposite directions to a centered position. The mounting base is adapted to be supported for turning movement about an upright axis vertically aligned with the wheel axis when the latter is in its centered position to provide a steerable wheel assembly.
