The coefficient cycling aero foil system is designed to reduce drag and turbulence from a tire and spokes used to support a bicycle wheel. The system is integrated into a rim on a bicycle wheel which allows for increased forward momentum by cutting drag and reducing wheel turbulence that occurs during the rotation of a bicycle wheel. The foils may be strategically placed for optimum aerodynamic wind flow and are precisely angled to force wind past the foil creating increased forward momentum.

The present disclosure relates to a rim for a wheel. In one aspect, there is provided a rim for a wheel. The wheel comprising a rim, spokes, and hub. The rim depth varies wherein the section approximately half way between spoke connection points to the rim is of the greatest depth. Further, the section of rim located between the spoke connection point to the rim and the centre-point of the rim between spokes is of the shallowest depth. The spokes being of the type to provide support under forces of compression and tension. In a further aspect, there is provided a wheel comprising the rim.

A tyre for electric skateboards includes a hub and a tyre casing. The hub is sleeved with the tyre casing. The tyre casing is fixedly connected to the hub. An annular cavity is formed in the tyre casing in a circumferential direction of the tyre casing. A deformable shock absorption and noise reduction ring is fixedly disposed in the annular cavity.

An anti-rolling wheel includes: a ring-shaped main wheel; an inner frame positioned inside the main wheel, wherein the inner frame comprising at least two auxiliary wheels that come into contact with an inner surface of the main wheel and rotate when the main wheel is driven; and a sliding block provided to be movable under the guide of the inner frame.

The present disclosure provides a process for manufacturing a light-alloy hybrid wheel comprising the following separate operation phases: obtaining a front flange with an internal profile including a tire bead seat; obtaining a rim with an annular profile including a tire bead seat at a first end and a circular flank for assembly with a part of the flange at a second end; and assembling the flange and the rim to form a wheel. The annular profiles of the flange and the rim form exterior and interior sides of the wheel. Assembling the flange and the rim comprises welding the flank of the rim and the flange together by a single friction stir weld using a pin such that the weld is exposed at the exterior and interior sides of the wheel.

A wheel and a rim with weight reduction sockets are provided. The rim is made of an aluminum alloy and includes an inner flange, a middle portion and an outer flange, the inner flange, middle portion and outer flange are all annular and are connected end to end to form a cylindrical rim, in which weight reduction sockets are provided on the outer surface of the middle portion of the rim; the weight reduction sockets are rectangular ones, and are arranged in lattices in turn; and 3-5 rows of weight reduction sockets are arranged annularly on the outer surface of the middle portion of the rim.

A wheel rim comprising a peripheral structure for receiving a tire, and a central structure for coupling with a hub of the vehicle. The peripheral structure comprises, for each side of the wheel rim, a peripheral flange, a connecting wall on which the bead of the tire rests, and a connecting part. The peripheral structure includes a central well. The connecting part comprises a first curved region which joins the central well, and a second curved region between the first curved region and the connecting wall. The second curved region has a convex profile from the side of the wheel rim with the tire, and comprises a first curved surface joined to the connecting wall with a first radius of curvature, and a second curved surface between the first curved surface and the first curved region, with a second radius of curvature different from the first radius of curvature.

A rim portion of a composite wheel comprises a shaped annulus formed about a central axis of rotation of the composite wheel and having a circumferential axis extending circumferentially about the central axis and around the rim portion, said rim portion having a fibre layup comprising a stacked laminate formed from alternating layers of: a hoop tow layer comprising elongate fibre tow in which the fibres are substantially aligned with the circumferential axis of the rim portion, the hoop tow layer being formed from at least one annularly wound elongate fibre tow; and a bias ply layer comprising at least one fibre ply in which the fibres are substantially orientated at an angle of +Θ or −Θ to the circumferential axis of the rim portion, wherein Θ is from 26° to 40°.

A wheel construction including a rim, the rim including: an inner flange (16) and an outer flange (18), a central well (20) positioned between the flanges, a pair of bead seats (22, 24), one being positioned adjacent each flange, each bead seat being connected to the respective flange by a flange connection portion, and being connected to one of a pair of side parts (30, 32), each connected to the central well by a well connecting portion (34, 36), wherein at least one of the side parts includes a convex portion (40, 42) including a convex surface that extends radially beyond the axially inner end of the bead and a curved portion (50, 52), and wherein at least one of the inner flange and the outer flange includes an extended portion (17, 19) which extends radially inwardly to a free end.
