Vehicle rim for the mounting of a tire, comprising: an axially central part (20) comprising a disc; two lateral parts (31, 32), at least one of the lateral parts being separate from the axially central part, each of the lateral parts having a rim seat receiving a bead of a tire, the axially central part and the two lateral parts being made from a rigid matrix reinforced by a plurality of reinforcement elements; an intermediate part (41, 42) linking the axially central part and each lateral part separate therefrom, this intermediate part being made of a flexible matrix reinforced by a reinforcement, wherein 1 MPa the Young's modulus of uniaxial extension of the flexible matrix 100 MPa, the Young's modulus of uniaxial extension of the reinforcement elements is 5 GPa; wherein the Young's modulus of uniaxial extension of the rigid matrix is 5 GPa.

An adapter for a rolling assembly comprising a tire having two beads (B), a rim (J) with two rim seats (7), said adapter connecting one of the beads and the rim. The adapter has an axially inner end (10) comprising inner reinforcer element (16), and an axially outer end (15) comprising outer reinforcer element (15), respectively mounted on a rim seat (7). Body (11) connects said outer end (9) to said inner end (10). Main reinforcement connects said outer reinforcer (15), and said inner reinforcer (16), a substantially cylindrical adapter seat (18) receiving one of said beads (B), an adapter bearing face (21) substantially contained in a plane perpendicular to the rion otataxis. The reinforcer element (15) of the axially outer end (9) is entirely situated axially outside the bearing face (21), and in that the body (11) comprises, opposite the adapter seat (7), an annular seat reinforcer (19).

A magnetically coupled ball drive system for actuation of spherical surfaces and wheels is disclosed. An internal support structure interacts with exterior drive wheels magnetically to produce rotational motion. A related improvement involving reduction of slip due to insufficient traction is also presented to establish a design for a more robust and versatile device that can be used in robotics or for producing vehicle locomotion.

A removable wheel assembly includes a mounting base, a caster assembly and a detachment mechanism. The mounting base is provided with an insertion hole and a transverse guide groove communicated with the insertion hole. The caster assembly includes an insertion shaft, a wheel bracket, a rotating wheel and a housing. The insertion shaft includes a first end portion, and the first end portion is provided with a first engagement portion. The wheel bracket is connected to the insertion shaft. The rotating wheel is mounted on the wheel bracket. The housing includes a first housing and a second housing engaged with each other, and both the first housing and the second housing cover an outer side of the rotating wheel. The detachment mechanism includes a sliding member slidably disposed within the transverse guide groove and an elastic member connected to the sliding member.

The welding shaft for a universal wheel includes a big wheel welding shaft and a small wheel welding shaft, wherein the big wheel welding shaft includes a big wheel welding shaft body, a big wheel welding shaft retainer ring and a big wheel welding shaft fixing head which are sequentially assembled into a whole. The small wheel welding shaft includes a small wheel welding shaft body, a small wheel welding shaft retainer ring and a small wheel welding shaft fixing head which are sequentially assembled into a whole. The wheel assembly for a universal wheel includes a wheel shaft fixing plate, the welding shaft, a big wheel, and a small wheel. The universal wheel includes an outer protection plate, an outer fixing plate, a wheel shaft drive connector, multiple wheel assemblies, an inner fixing plate, an inner protection plate, and multiple shock absorption assemblies.

A drive line component for a vehicle includes a half shaft including a housing having an axially outwardly facing surface, a wheel hub assembly including a wheel bearing having an axially inwardly facing surface, and a ring extending about the housing. The ring including a radially inwardly projecting flange portion arranged between the axially outwardly facing surface of the half shaft housing and the axially inwardly facing surface of the wheel bearing, a radially outwardly projecting flange portion, and a transition region extending between the radially inwardly projecting flange portion and the radially outwardly projecting flange portion. The transition region includes a first portion extending axially inwardly from the radially inwardly projecting flange portion, a second portion extending at an angle toward the radially outwardly projecting flange portion, and a third portion including a transition between the first portion and the second portion. The transition having a sharp edge.
