A production method for a cover attached to an outer ring of a hub unit including procedures as follows. A nut is supported by a first protrusion of a first mold. By a second protrusion of a second mold, a core bar including a cylindrical section to be inserted into the outer ring is supported. A resin material is injected into a cavity formed by the first mold and the second mold to form a cover including a nut and a core bar. The cover is detached from the second mold by moving the first mold in a direction of being separated from the second mold. After this, the cover is detached from the first mold by pushing out the cover in a die matching direction with a pin disposed in the first mold.

The core metal for resin welding improves bonding strength between an outer peripheral resin member and the core metal. The outer peripheral resin member 30 is welded to the peripheral surface 21 of the core metal 20 by fitting the core metal into a fitting hole 31 of the outer peripheral resin member 30, preparing the outer peripheral resin member 30 providing the fitting hole 31 with a smooth internal wall surface; preparing the core metal 20 wherein streaky protrusions 26 and smooth portions 25 are provided; allowing the top parts of the protrusions 26 to contact, and the smooth portions of the core metal 20 to face the smooth internal wall surface; and induction heating to weld the outer peripheral resin member 30 to the protrusions 26 and the smooth portions 25.

A production method for a cover attached to an outer ring of a hub unit first prepares a first mold and a second mold which form a cavity filled with a resin material. Next, by a protrusion of the first mold, a nut is supported. Next, when viewed from an axial direction of the nut, in a state where at least a part of the gate of the second mold overlaps an inside of the nut as compared with an outer circumferential surface of the nut, the first mold and the second mold are die-matched. Then, a resin material is injected into the cavity.

The present invention provides a sheet conveying roller, which effectively reduces the amount of paper dust accumulated on its outer peripheral surface to thereby suppress sheet transportation failure. The sheet conveying roller includes a nonporous tubular elastic member (1). The elastic member (1) has a plurality of recesses (6) or a plurality of through-holes (8) equidistantly arranged in a center axis (L1) direction thereof and equidistantly arranged in a circumferential direction thereof, and each having an opening having a round plan shape in an outer peripheral surface (2) thereof, wherein the recesses (6) each have a constant depth as measured thicknesswise of the elastic member (1), wherein the through-holes (8) each extend thicknesswise through the elastic member (1). A production method includes forming the elastic member by vulcanizing a rubber composition in a vulcanization mold having projections corresponding to the recesses or the through-holes.

A wheel assembly for a remote vehicle comprises a wheel structure comprising a plurality of spokes interconnecting a rim and a hub. The spokes comprise at least one slit extending therethrough radially inward from the rim to the hub. The assembly also comprises a flipper structure comprising an arm, a plurality of legs, and an attachment base. The plurality of legs and the attachment base comprise a four-bar linkage. The assembly further comprises an insert comprising a bore with a flat surface that tapers outward from a top portion to a bottom portion of the insert. The insert being configured to couple the flipper structure to the wheel structure via an axle on the remote vehicle and prevent backlash between the axle and the flipper structure. The flipper structure being configured to transmit axial forces to the wheel structure. The wheel structure being configured to absorb radial and axial forces.

The invention relates to a bicycle wheel made of a fiber composite material, including a rim, a plurality of spokes, and a center, wherein the spokes each have a first and second spoke section extending between the rim and the center, wherein the first and second rim section have a curved shape in a laminated state and the two rim sections extend straight in a pretensioned state.

A method for making a carbon fiber wheel rim includes: preparing an outer supporting piece; winding a carbon-fiber yarn around the outer supporting piece to form carbon fiber layers and to constitute an engaging seat preform; connecting an inner supporting piece to the engaging seat preform; connecting a reinforcement piece to the inner supporting piece; winding a carbon-fiber yarn around an assembly of the engaging seat preform, the inner supporting piece and the reinforcement piece to form carbon fiber layers; fixing the assembly with the carbon fiber layers to form an outer frame preform; and cutting the outer frame preform and the engaging seat preform to form a trench and removing the outer supporting piece therefrom.

The invention relates to a tire pressure monitoring unit for arranging within a motor vehicle tire for sensing the tire filling pressure, wherein the tire pressure monitoring unit has a housing, in which electronic parts and at least one pressure sensor are arranged, wherein the housing has an air inlet, by means of which the tire filling pressure is applied to the pressure sensor, wherein the housing is designed as a multi-component plastic injection-molded part, in particular a two-component plastic injection-molded part, wherein a first component forms a lower housing shell and an upper housing shell and wherein a second component forms a seal between the air inlet and the pressure sensor. The invention further relates to a method for producing a tire pressure monitoring unit.

A plurality of continuous fiber reinforced plastics is placed substantially in parallel on the outer circumferential surface of a mold for rim formation so as to be aligned with the direction of an axis of the mold to cover the surface. In addition, the continuous fiber reinforced plastics is applied and laminated on a continuous fiber reinforced plastic layer including the continuous fiber reinforced plastics placed on the outer circumferential surface of the mold, the continuous fiber reinforced plastics being substantially in parallel and aligned with the direction of the axis of the mold. Furthermore, a restraint material is wound around the continuous fiber reinforced plastic layer disposed at level difference portions of the mold using the axis as a winding center.

A impact resistant rim is configured to soften or minimize an impact, thereby reducing the risk of pinching or otherwise flattening the tire and/or damaging the rim. This impact resistant rim further reduces the effects of an impact by maintaining the integrity of the rim during and following the impact. In this rim design, a shock absorbing cord is inlaid, molded, an/or otherwise embedded inside opposing leading edges of the rim. The shock absorbing cord is designed to elastically and/or plastically deform during an impact.
