A wheel of a vehicle has a rim, a hub portion and at least two spokes connecting the hub portion to the rim. At least one spoke intermediate space between the spokes is at least partially covered by a single-piece cover element. A wing portion of the cover element is deformed axially away from the wheel when heat is supplied. The cover element is connected directly to the wheel, and the single-piece cover element is formed from a single material.

A high temperature-resistant wheel, comprising: an elastic hub assembly (1), which has a thermal insulation layer integrated therewith so as to insulate the elastic hub assembly (1) from exterior high temperatures; and a rigid wheel barbed ring (2), which has the elastic hub assembly (1) fastened inside and rotates together with the elastic hub assembly (1). A robot, which comprises the high temperature-resistant wheel.

The invention refers to a wheel for a vehicle, the wheel being rotatable around a rotation axis and comprising: a seating space for a brake disk extending around the rotation axis; a wheel rim having a rim well, the wheel rim extending around the seating space and the rotation axis, wherein the rim well protrudes from the wheel rim towards the rotation axis; and at least one spoke being connected to the wheel rim, the at least one spoke being arranged at an outward side of the wheel and extending at least in part radially to the rotation axis; wherein, along the rotation axis, the seating space is arranged closer to the outward side than the rim well. The invention improves the air flow in the vicinity of the wheel to reduce aerodynamic drag and lifting forces on the vehicle.

An arrangement of wheels for a bi-directional vehicle may decrease the drag coefficient for the vehicle regardless of a direction of travel of the vehicle. A pair of wheels, each wheel of the pair having a configuration of fins to promote a desired aerodynamic effect, when located at a leading end of the vehicle promotes airflow laterally outboard of the vehicle body. In contrast, the same pair of wheels, when located at a trailing end of the vehicle promotes airflow laterally inboard of the vehicle body.

A device for preventing excessive increase of an internal pressure of a rolling assembly, the rolling assembly having a rotation axis and comprising a wheel and a tire, the tire being mounted onto the wheel creating an inner cavity surrounded by a wheel internal surface and a tire internal surface, comprising a cold spot placed in the inner cavity of the rolling assembly for condensing vapor contained in a gas filled in the inner cavity and a storage mean for capturing and keeping condensed vapor.

A wheel component for a motor vehicle includes a rim base, a wheel hub, a rim disc, and an aero ring. The aero ring rests on the rim base in a circumferential direction and forms a circular ring starting from the rim base radially in a direction of the wheel hub. The rim disc is displaceable in a direction of an axis of rotation of the wheel component relative to the wheel hub between an open state and a closed state. The rim disc rests with an outer end face against an inner front surface of the aero ring in a sealing manner in the closed state of the rim disc. There is larger flow cross-section through the wheel component with the rim disc in the open state than in the closed state.
