Disclosed herein is a universal rotating hub that can facilitate movement of an automobile or other vehicle that has been rendered immobile by a condition that prevents rotation of one or more of the vehicle's wheels. The universal rotating hub can comprise a wheel flange comprising an axle bore adapted to receive an axle and a plurality of apertures adapted to receive a plurality of different lug bolt patterns of a plurality of respective wheel hubs. The universal rotating hub can further comprise a rotating flange adapted to be coupled to a wheel. The rotating flange can comprise a plurality of lug holes adapted to receive a plurality of lug bolts of the wheel. The universal rotating hub can further comprise a bearing coupled at a first end to the wheel flange and at a second end to the rotating flange. The bearing can be adapted to enable a rotation of the rotating flange.

A full face fabricated vehicle wheel having a wheel attached to a wheel disc. The wheel disc includes a hub located centrally within the wheel disc and defining a wheel axis. The wheel disc further includes an outer circumferential edge having an outboard bead seat retaining flange, and an annular transition portion radially extending between the hub and the outer circumferential edge. The transition portion includes a plurality of vent hole regions circumferentially spaced around the transition portion about the wheel axis. At least one vent hole region includes a vent hole formed through the transition portion and defining an outer perimeter such that at least two bridging portions extend inwardly from the perimeter which subdivides the vent hole into at least three smaller holes formed through the transition portion at the at least one vent hole region.

A wheel disc adapted for use in a fabricated vehicle wheel includes a steel wheel disc defining an axis and includes a center mounting portion, an outer rim connecting flange, a plurality of radially outwardly extending spokes connecting the center mounting portion to the outer rim connecting flange and a ventilation opening provided between each pair of adjacent spokes. A width defined by a center wall of the spoke is tapered inwardly along a substantial portion of a radial length thereof as the center wall of the spoke extends generally from the center mounting portion to the outer rim connecting flange or wherein a width defined by outer walls of the spoke is tapered inwardly along a substantial portion of a radial length thereof as the outer walls of the spoke extends generally from the center mounting portion to the outer rim connecting flange.

A fabricated vehicle wheel comprises a wheel disc and a wheel rim. The wheel disc has an annular hub portion, a center hub hole in the hub portion, opposite inboard and outboard faces of the hub portion, a plurality of circumferentially spaced lug bolt holes in the hub portion, a plurality of lightener pockets in the hub portion, and an extension portion. The lug bolt holes and the lightener pockets alternate around a circumference of the hub portion. An axis extends through the hub hole. The inboard face is planar and configured to mount to a vehicle. The inboard face is perpendicular to the axis and the extension portion extends from the hub portion along the axis. The wheel rim is secured to the extension portion.

A method of assembling a vehicle road wheel includes providing a tool fixture configured to support a press-fit load and arranging on the tool fixture an isolation plate defining a plate fastener aperture and having a locating projection. The method additionally includes arranging on the isolation plate a wheel subassembly having a hub surface and an opposing fastener surface and defining a hub aperture and a wheel fastener aperture, such that the hub surface rests against the isolation plate. The method also includes aligning the hub aperture with the locating projection and the wheel fastener aperture with the plate fastener aperture. The method additionally includes installing an insert into the wheel fastener aperture and engaging the insert with the plate fastener aperture. Furthermore, the method includes applying a load to the insert to press-fit the insert into the isolation plate at the plate fastener aperture and thereby assemble the wheel.

The present specification discloses wheel mounts for personal vehicles, such as skateboards and scooters. Wheel mount embodiments disclosed herein provide for the interchangeable mounting of wheels having differently shaped wheel cores. The present invention allows users to forego the previous limitation of having a specific wheel mount that only provides for the mounting a specific wheel having one specific wheel core geometry. Embodiments can be utilized on motorized personal vehicles, such as motorized skateboards and scooters that utilize various motors, such as direct drive or belt drive motors.

The present application provides an adjustable position gauge, which comprises a measuring column, an adjusting block, a set screw, a base plate, a tensioning block, a nut, a conical block and the like. The application may measure the angle between different bolt holes and the position of the wheel bolt hole with different pitch sizes.

A wheel for a utility vehicle includes a first attaching face with which the wheel is to be attached to a hub of a vehicle body, and a second attaching face with which the wheel inversed in a vehicle width direction is to be attached to the hub. The wheel is structured such that the first attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel, and the second attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset inward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel.

A mounting portion of a disc includes a flat plate portion having a pressing surface to be pressed against a hub of an axle, and a plurality of nut support portions protruding from the flat plate portion to a side opposite to the pressing surface in an axial direction of the disc, and having an annular shape as viewed from the axial direction. A bolt hole is provided to penetrate the nut support portion in the axial direction. The nut support portion includes a bulging portion curving to bulge outward in a radial direction of the nut support portion, and a protruding portion disposed adjacent to the bulging portion in a circumferential direction of the nut support portion, and protruding inward in the radial direction of the nut support portion with respect to the bulging portion.
