| A method and apparatus for attaching an ornamental overlay to a vehicle wheel by injecting adhesive foam through an aperture of the wheel and into a cavity formed between the wheel and the overlay. A first nest engages the outboard side of the wheel/overlay assembly to seal the inner periphery of the overlay, the valve stem opening of the overlay, the lug bolt receiving holes of the wheel, the pilot aperture of the wheel, and/or the valve stem opening of the wheel. A secondary nest engages the inboard side of the wheel/overlay assembly to seal the wheel apertures and a plurality of turbine openings in the overlay. A nozzle disposed within the secondary nest is adapted to inject the adhesive foam into the cavity through either a gap between the periphery of a wheel aperture and the periphery of a corresponding turbine opening in the overlay, through a straight or angled hole within a spoke, or through a groove within a spoke. | ||||||

| A wheel cover has a main body, several connecting elements spaced on an inward side of the main body, and coupling pieces used for securing the wheel cover to a wheel; each connecting element has first and second connecting parts, which have different dimensions; each coupling piece has a curved protrusion, which is fitted into an annular groove of a wheel so as to secure the wheel cover to the wheel; the distance between the curved protrusions and the main body of the wheel cover can be adjusted according to a size of a wheel by means of relocating each and every one of the coupling pieces to the other one of the connecting parts of a corresponding connecting element; therefore, the distance between the curved protrusions and the main body of the wheel cover can be increased such that contact of the wheel cover with the tire is prevented. | ||||||

| 187 | Vehicle wheel and overlay assembly | US10932903 | 2004-09-02 | US20060043782A1 | 2006-03-02 | Garry Houten |
| A vehicle wheel and overlay assembly. The assembly includes a wheel having a rim flange that terminates in a flange lip having an outboard surface and a radially outermost edge. At least one circumferential indentation or groove is formed on the outboard surface of the flange lip to intercept and contain excess adhesive that may radially flow toward the outer edges of the assembly necessitating a costly clean up. An overlay is attached to the wheel outboard surface. The overlay radially extends outward and terminates in a rim flange. This rim flange includes a radially outermost lip, which is aligned with the outermost edge of the wheel flange lip within a predetermined circumferential margin such that, the rim flange of the overlay covers at least a portion of the wheel flange lip without wrapping around the periphery of the wheel. This configuration gives a visible impression that this is a one-piece wheel, and the overlay is not a separately attached component. The circumferential indentation or groove creates cavity on the outboard surface of the flange lip and appreciably reduce surface contact between the overlay and the wheel, resulting in reduced friction between the surfaces. The reduced friction helps minimize the squeaking or noise from the overlay rubbing against the wheel. | ||||||

| A cover having deformable narrow spoke portions for partially covering a disk radial portion along a radial direction of the wheel is attached to a wheel base unit. The deformable narrow spoke portions are formed with thin, deformable parts. This permits the deformable narrow spoke portions to follow the deformation of the disk radial portion. Therefore, it is possible to reduce noise produced with external forces received when driving and provide excellent low noise characteristic. | ||||||

| An apparatus and method for constructing a wheel assembly by adhesively bonding a wheel cover to a wheel using a bead of foamed-in-place adhesive. As the wheel and wheel cover are assembled together, the bead of foamed-in-place adhesive is compressed between the wheel cover and the wheel, and thereby spreads out therebetween. The method results in a more complete volumetric fill of adhesive between the wheel cover and wheel, and results in a faster cure time of adhesive when compared to the prior art, thereby enabling a reduction in manufacturing cycle time and work-in-process inventory. | ||||||

| Adhesive patterns are applied to one of an outboard side of a wheel and an inner surface of a decorative wheel cover and used to bond the decorative wheel cover to the wheel with a spaced therebetween that is partially filled with the cured adhesive. The decorative wheel cover and wheel each include aligned lug nut apertures and aligned decorative openings. The adhesive patterns are configured to allow ambient fluids to enter throughout the space between the decorative wheel cover and the wheel (and leave) which is not filled with the cured adhesive to prevent corrosion from occurring between the decorative wheel cover and wheel. | ||||||

| A composite wheel assembly includes a wheel having a trim ring, a cladding, and a hubcap attached to the wheel. The wheel includes a disc and a rim flange circumscribing the disc with the disc and rim flange defining an outboard surface of the wheel. A trim ring mounts to and radially locates with respect to the rim flange and radially extends inward toward the disc. The cladding mounts to and radially locates with respect to the disc and radially extends outward toward the rim flange. The cladding overlaps the trim ring so that a continuous bright appearance extends across the entire outboard surface of the composite wheel assembly and so that any radial dimensional variation in the trim ring and cladding is taken up by the overlapping relationship therebetween. | ||||||

| 195 | Automobile spider wheel having a stainless steel face layer and a process for manufacturing the wheel | US10211904 | 2002-08-02 | US06758532B2 | 2004-07-06 | So Young Rhee |
| An automobile spider wheel is made of aluminum alloys and has an outer face layer made of stainless steel. A process for manufacturing the automobile spider wheel includes working the stainless steel insert by a known press process based on side face shapes of an automobile wheel. Joining faces of the insert are treated roughly by sanding or brushing for joining with melted aluminum alloys. Protrusions are fixed on the joining faces of the insert in positions corresponding to rim support faces of the insert. The stainless steel insert is inserted in surface-to-surface relationship with a surface of a lower mold of a molding device with the protrusions projecting upwardly. The stainless steel insert is integrally molded-to the melted alloys to form the wheel by a known die casting process after closing the molding device. The automobile spider wheel of Al alloys with a viewable face layer of the stainless steel plate insert has a pleasing appearance without any of the aluminum plating showing in the external appearance of the wheel and the wheel faces are easy to clean. | ||||||
