| 162 | Bimetal vehicle wheel with bimetal transition insert | US182132 | 1998-10-29 | US6045196A | 2000-04-04 | Douglas P. Mason |
| At least one bimetal tab is disposed in a groove between a wheel disc formed from a first metal and a wheel rim formed from a second metal which is different from the first metal. The bimetal tab is formed by roll bonding a layer of the first metal to a layer of the second metal. The first metal layer of the bimetal tab is adjacent to the wheel disc while the second metal layer of the tab is adjacent to the wheel disc. A spot weld which extends through the bimetal tab secures the wheel disc to the wheel rim. | ||||||
| 163 | Vehicle wheel having weight-reducing rim | US969109 | 1997-11-12 | US5826949A | 1998-10-27 | Andrea Bortoloni |
| A wheel rim has spaced indentations in the rim to remove material from the rim and decrease wheel weight. The indentations may be elongated grooves, which are aligned with the axis of the wheel. The grooves are evenly spaced circumferentially about the wheel. Each groove's cross-section is an arc of a circle. The grooves extend into the rim more than one half of the rim's nominal thickness. The radius of the circle that form the cross-section is much larger than the groove's depth so that the edges of the grooves do not meet the rim's surface at a sharp angle. This intersection minimizes stress. The grooves may be in the rim's an inner or outer surfaces or in both surfaces. The application also discloses other configurations for the indentations. | ||||||

| 166 | Chromium-plated composite wheel | US412619 | 1995-03-29 | US5636906A | 1997-06-10 | Lee A. Chase |
| A composite vehicle wheel having a disk, a rim circumscribing the disk, and an ornamental metal-plated plastic overlay attached to the outboard surface of the disk. The overlay has a pair of oppositely disposed surfaces which form interior and exterior surfaces of the overlay. The interior surface mates with at least a portion of the outboard surface of the wheel while the exterior surface has a metal layer plated thereon. The overlay is formed from a relatively thin plastic panel such that the exterior surface uniformly and closely conforms to the outboard surface of the wheel and the metal layer is substantially flush with the adjacent portions of the outboard surface to provide a pleasing aesthetic effect to the wheel. The integrity of the metal layer is such that the overlay successfully meets corrosion resistance requirements for automobile manufacturers' original equipment. | ||||||

| A method for heat treating a metal component uses a first heating system having a first high intensity heating portion to rapidly heat the component to a desired temperature and a second heating portion to maintain the component temperature for solution heat treatment. The heating system is an indexing-type system which includes a plurality of individual heating stations to effect solution heat treatment of the component.

| 169 | Method and apparatus for casting vehicle wheels having lightener pockets | US236733 | 1994-05-02 | US5427171A | 1995-06-27 | Romulo A. Prieto |
| The apparatus includes a wheel mold that has a top segment having a plurality of openings formed therethrough. Movable cores are carried in the top segment openings. A mechanism is mounted on the top segment to alternately extend the cores into the mold cavity and retract the cores into the openings. To form a wheel, the movable cores are extended and molten metal is introduced into the mold cavity. The movable cores form recesses in the resulting wheel casting. After casting has cooled sufficiently, the movable cores are retracted from the recesses allowing the top segment to be withdrawn from the wheel casting. The casting is then removed from the mold. | ||||||

The infrared heating system is an indexing-type system which includes a plurality of individual heating stations. A first group of heating stations effects solution heat treating of the wheel, while a second group effects artificial aging. The infrared system enables the solution heat treating and aging to be completed in less than 15 minutes. | ||||||
| 171 | Light alloy cast wheel | US52239 | 1993-04-20 | US5292182A | 1994-03-08 | Michio Kanazawa; Kuniaki Tomoda; Masayuki Atari |
| A light allow cast wheel includes a disk portion and a rim portion integral with the disk portion. The rim portion includes a first flange located closer to the disk portion and a second flange located farther from the disk portion. The second flange includes a radially extending portion which has an outboard surface and an inboard surface. The second flange has a plurality of grooves recessed from the outboard surface of the radially extending portion. Since a thickness of the second flange is reduced due to the grooves, a thermal thickness shrinkage of the second flange which occurs during casting is small. As a result, generation of blow holes in the second flange during casting is prevented. | ||||||
| 172 | Method of manufacturing an aluminum wheel | US413872 | 1989-09-29 | US5027508A | 1991-07-02 | James K. Cissell II |
| An improved aluminum wheel is disclosed having a two-part construction with a disc at a front position and a rim extending to a rear position. The disc comprises all the portions of the wheel that are visible from the front and thus is the only portion that is chrome-plated. The rim is formed from a double rim member that is cut at a central position to form two rims. Substantial savings in machinery, manufacturing, and material costs are realized by this arrangement. | ||||||

By formation of the recessed portions, the weight of the wheel can be decreased, generation of blowholes in a casting process can be prevented and air capacity of the tire can be increased. | ||||||
| 174 | Method for manufacturing rounded parts, such as motor vehicle consisting of wheel rims | US618049 | 1984-06-07 | US4674165A | 1987-06-23 | Walter Spath |
| The inventive method produces round parts consisting of profiled metal sections from a straight, profiled extruded section forming a wheel-like shape having butt ends joined together by welding. Bending the straight section into a round part is accomplished by first adjustably prestressing the straight section and then subjecting the prestressed section to a rolling bending operation. For this purpose, the section to be bent is wound either from one side or from both sides around the outside diameter of coordinated rolling dies the rotating rolling dies being able to additionally perform a translatory motion in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the section. The resulting wheel rim has the rim pan integrally joined to the rim ring. | ||||||

| A device for manufacturing vehicle wheels having a rim which is wreath-shaped in cross section surrounding a cast wheel body is such that at least one die wall delimits the mold to be filled with cast metal. The prefabricated rim is laid between facing surfaces of a die plate and a center plate with the result that the die faces and the rim form the outer contours of the wheel body when the mold space between the die faces and rim is filled with molten metal which is introduced into the mold space under pressure. The rim itself is held by a clamping ring and can be removed in two pieces from the die assembly. A device for spraying a cooling medium onto the rim is provided on or in the clamping ring. The rim features on its inner face a central strut which is T-shaped in cross section, and on both sides of the actual struts are side struts which are inclined outwards. The free ends of the side struts are displaced by the surface of the die plates. | ||||||
