A shielding structure for a wheel having a turning axis, a rim, and a tire mounted to the rim for rolling against an underlying surface. The wheel has axially oppositely facing sides. A mounting assembly is attached to the rim to move as one piece therewith. A plurality of shielding components are attached to the mounting assembly to overlie at least a part of the tire at one of the axially oppositely facing sides of the wheel. At least one of the shielding components is made from a non-metal material and a reinforcing element.

A wheel rim protector is a device for safeguarding the rim of an automobile tire during the application of cleaning or decorative compositions in detailing processes. The protector is designed to be held by a user or temporarily attached to the rim. The wheel rim protector comprises a fan-like structure with multiple ribs pivotally connected to a handle, facilitating selective expansion and retraction. A shield, affixed to the ribs, includes magnets for magnetic attachment to ferromagnetic materials of the rim. The protector may be made from resilient and washable materials, which ensures durability and ease of maintenance in various detailing applications.

A heat shield for a wheel is disclosed. A torque bar may be used to mount the heat shield to the wheel, and includes a connector in the form of a stem and a head. A stiffening or reinforcement plate is mounted to the heat shield with a torque bar mounting aperture extending through the reinforcement plate being disposed about at least part of a torque bar mounting aperture extending through the heat shield. The torque bar mounting aperture of the reinforcement plate is disposed/configured such that the head of the torque bar may be disposed in overlying relation to portions of an outer surface of the heat shield that are on opposite sides of the torque bar mounting aperture through the heat shield that are exposed by the torque bar mounting aperture through the reinforcement plate.

A bicycle rim includes a radially outer peripheral part, a radially inner peripheral part, at least one first slanting member, and at least one intermediate member. The at least one first slanting member radially extends between the radially outer peripheral part and the radially inner peripheral part in a first direction slanted with respect to a radial direction of the bicycle rim as viewed in an axial direction of the bicycle rim. The at least one intermediate member is disposed between the radially outer peripheral part and the radially inner peripheral part.

A guard comprises a body having an obverse surface and reverse surface, the surfaces in mutually opposed orientation and having a thickness (t) intermediately disposed between the surfaces and with the surfaces mutually terminating at an outer circumferential periphery. The guard includes a first channel disposed within the reverse surface of the body, and a first flexible gasket disposed within the first channel. The guard also includes a handle disposed on the obverse surface of the body. A holder may be included that clips to the handle of the guard to position the guard for hands-free operation.

The present invention provides a universal wheel spraying protection device, which is composed of a chassis, springs, a cone shaft, a tray, sliding blocks and composite tensioning sleeves. When the universal wheel spraying protection device is in use, a wheel is placed on a conical surface of an upper end of the tray, supporting springs are compressed by self weight of the wheel, and the tray is pressed down under the action of guiding columns and guiding sleeves; meanwhile, each sliding block drives the corresponding composite tensioning sleeve to move outwards under the action of the cone shaft; after a central hole is tensioned, the sliding blocks stops radial movement, and the tray also stops axial movement; and at this time, the central hole is protected by the composite tensioning sleeves, and a flange face is protected by the conical surface of the tray.
