EMERGENCY OPERATION ATTACHMENT FOR A VEHICLE WHEEL
An attachment for a vehicle wheel allows operation when the tire is flat. The attachment may include a main body which is circular or substantially annular when seen in an axial direction, a positioning device for positioning the attachment on a rim of the vehicle wheel, and a fastening device for fastening the attachment to the rim of the vehicle wheel. The fastening device may be adapted to be actuated independently of the positioning device.
Emergency wheel
This disclosure relates to a clamping device for tensioning an attachment on a rim of a vehicle wheel, wherein the attachment configured to enable a driving operation with a restricted tire function in an operating state in which it is fastened on the vehicle wheel.

UNIVERSAL TEMPORARY WHEEL
A universal temporary wheel is provided that has a universal aperture pattern that is adapted to mate with different configurations of lug bolt patterns to enable the wheel to be used with various wheel hub configurations having various lug bolt patterns. The universal temporary wheel can be installed while a damaged wheel is being repaired to allow an automobile or other vehicle to be moved. Because the universal temporary wheel has a universal aperture pattern, the wheel can be used with a variety of wheel hub configurations and lug bolt patterns, thereby eliminating the need to stock a variety of temporary wheels having various aperture patterns.
IMPROVEMENTS TO FASTENING ELEMENTS OF AN EXPANDABLE AUTOMOTIVE SPARE WHEEL
This invention refers to an improved automotive auxiliary wheel of practical installation that does not require a mechanical jack or an additional tool to raise the car, that makes possible for the car to keep moving without having to dismount the damaged tire. It is installed on the damaged wheel by means of a female grooved hub of narrower diameter that is affixed by coupling it to a shorter male grooved hub that has a concentric inner thread placed in the car's wheel and attached with a central hexagonal screw with the help of a tightening handle. The car is moved by half a meter, and the auxiliary wheel is expanded with the lever tool with octagonal die, and the car can keep moving at low speed until it reaches a mechanical service facility. The object of this invention is to improve the expansible auxiliary wheel by making it more practical and faster to install without much effort, to solve the issue of a flat tire in short time.

Vehicle wheel rim with integral spare tire
The vehicle wheel rim with integral spare tire includes a main wheel and an integral spare tire. The main wheel includes a main rim well, an inner and outer flange, and a center disc. A main tire may be mounted onto the main wheel and the main wheel may be bolted onto a hub on an axle of a vehicle. The integral spare tire includes a safety rim well, safely rim, and safety tire with the safety tire mounted on the safety rim. The integral spare tire is coupled to the inside of the main wheel. The dimensions of the main wheel, main tire, and integral spare tire are such that when the main tire is inflated the integral spare tire does not touch the road surface. However if the main tire goes flat the integral spare tire will touch the road surface and will support the vehicle.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ATTACHING A PLATE TO A VEHICLE
A system for attaching a plate to a vehicle is provided. The system includes lug nuts and lug bolts for attaching the plate to a threaded wheel stud. The lug nuts each define a threaded stud recess for engagement with a threaded wheel stud and a threaded bolt recess for engagement with a threaded portion of a lug bolt. The lug bolts each define a head for rotating the threaded portion of the lug bolt into the bolt recess of the lug nut, a shaft positioned between the threaded portion and the head, and a rotatable portion. The rotatable portion defines a center aperture freely rotatable about the shaft and a bolt aperture for accepting a fastener. A lock nut is positioned about each of the lug bolts for locking the lug bolt into position relative to the lug nut.
