MODULAR PDU WHEEL ASSEMBLY
A modular wheel assembly for a power drive unit (PDU) may comprise a hub and a disc stack coupled to the hub. The hub may be a splined hub defining a plurality of spline recesses. The disc stack may comprise a plurality of discs. Each disc of the plurality of discs may comprise a ring having a plurality of splines that are complementary to the spline recesses, and that are configured to interlock with the spline recesses. Each disc may further comprise an annular segment made of one of a first material and second material. The annular segment may be a tire. In the event of damage or wear, each disc in the plurality of discs may be removed and repaired or replaced.

Automotive Spoke Wheel Spinner Locking System
An automotive spoke wheel spinner locking system includes an adapter, a knock-off cap, and a plurality of male fasteners. The adapter includes a mounting plate, a wheel hub, and a central opening. The wheel hub is concentrically positioned and adjacently mounted to the mounting plate. The central opening traverses through the mounting plate and the wheel hub. The knock-off cap includes a central plate, a lateral wall, and a spinner aperture. The lateral wall is radially connected around the central plate as the spinner aperture concentrically traverses through the central plate. The knock-off cap is concentrically positioned to the adapter, wherein the lateral wall is threadedly attached around the wheel hub, and the center plate is mounted to the wheel hub by the plurality of male fasteners.
Wheel adaptor
A system for adapting a hub for coupling the hub to a wheel where the wheel is not sized for attachment to the hub. The system includes and an adaptor or wheel adaptor for coupling the hub to the wheel. The wheel adaptor includes a body, a first set of holes, a second set of holes, and a third set of holes.
SELF-REACTING CENTER WHEEL NUT ASSEMBLY, DRIVER ASSEMBLY, TOOL ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
A self-reacting center wheel nut assembly includes a reaction ring (120) formed between a center wheel nut (110) and a lock collar assembly (130). The self-reacting center wheel nut assembly may also include a washer (140) and O-rings. The self-reacting center wheel nut assembly improves and simplifies wheel bolt tightening; uses the lock collar assembly as a reaction point by transferring opposing torque generated during installation and removal through the reaction ring, which is reacted on by a dual sleeved drive assembly; may be used with HYTORC electric battery powered torque multiplier gun/tools to deliver quick, accurate and precise torque; eliminates the need for external reaction points such as the rim or ground, thereby eliminating side loads and damage to the wheel; is fully sealed and lubricated; eliminates vehicle movement and the need to lock the brakes; reduces operator fatigue, chances of injury and saves operator time and energy.
Disc Wheel with Internal Bracing
A bicycle disc wheel comprises a first disc panel and a second disc panel. The first disc panel has a first side outer surface and a first side inner surface and the second disc panel has a second side outer surface and a second side inner surface. The first side outer surface radially extends from a first disc panel outer perimeter to a center opening and the second side outer surface radially extends from a second disc panel outer perimeter to the center opening. The second side inner surface faces the first side inner surface. A brace is coupled to the first side inner surface and the second side inner surface that provide radial and axial structural support to the disc panels.
