| 42 | WHEEL WITH INCREASED INTERIOR LIP DEPTH | US12917392 | 2010-11-01 | US20110140507A1 | 2011-06-16 | Segiu Anca; Frank J. Hodges |
| Disclosed are various embodiments of wheels having an increased interior lip depth. In some embodiments, the wheel can include a wheel barrel having a register formed on the inner surface thereof. A wheel center piece can have a junction rim secured to the register. The wheel center piece can include a center portion configured to be secured to a vehicle. The wheel center piece can include spokes which extend radially outwardly from the center portion and axial extenders which connect the radially outward ends of the spokes to the junction rim. The axial extenders can function to increase the size of the cavity formed between the wheel center piece and the inboard end of the wheel. Thus, the cavity can have a volume sufficient to accommodate mechanical components of the vehicle while allowing the register can be formed relatively close to the inboard side of the wheel, thereby increasing the depth of the interior lip extending from the outboard end of the wheel to the junction rim. In some embodiments, a one-piece wheel may be configured to have the appearance of being a multi-piece wheel having an increased interior lip depth. In some embodiments, a wheel component covering insert may be applied to the inner surface of the wheel barrel. | ||||||

| A lightweight but strong two-piece wheel has an outer annular rim with a separate center section secured therein by separate fasteners which are hidden from view when the wheel is in use. The preferred fasteners are threaded bolts extended through openings in the rim and into pre-tapped holes in the center section, but bolt and nut assemblies or rivets may be used in alternate embodiments. The annular rim and center section preferably are made of lightweight materials, including aluminum and plastic. The construction enables the center section to be fastened to the rim in different axial positions within the rim, and permits inexpensive substitution of different center section designs in a common rim design. The process of making the wheel includes heat shrinking the rim onto the center section in a desired axially adjusted position and then applying the fasteners to secure the rim and center section together. | ||||||

| A motorcycle wheel includes a rim portion, a hub portion, a joining portion extending between the hub portion and the rim portion, and an axle housing portion. The joining portion includes first and second sidewalls defining outwardly-facing continuous concave surfaces. The first and second sidewalls define a well adjacent the rim portion. The first and second sidewalls contact each other at a merger portion intermediate the hub portion and the rim portion. The first sidewall is slightly thicker than said second sidewall to facilitate casting the wheel as one piece. A merger point in the merger portion has a thickness that is less than the minimum thicknesses of a portion of the first and second walls between the hub portion and the merger portion. The hub portion includes apertures to reduce the weight of the wheel. The axle housing portion protects a motorcycle axle from debris passing through the apertures in the hub portion, and stiffens the axle bearing supports. | ||||||

| A light-metal strip wheel, in particular for motor vehicles, which includes a wheel disk and a rim. The wheel disk comprises two wheel-disk parts each having a ventilation hole. The ventilation holes have necks that when pressed into one another, secure together the two wheel-disk parts with the two parts separated from one another in the region surrounding the ventilation holes, while coming to rest on one another in a hub region. The space between the two wheel-disk parts in the region surrounding the ventilation holes increases the stiffness of the strip wheel so that the wheel is suitable for accommodating large loads. | ||||||
