A constant velocity joint for a vehicle may include: a hub housing combined with the constant velocity joint in the hub housing; a bearing assembly including an inner race fitted on an outer surface of the hub housing, an outer race spaced a predetermined distance apart from the inner race and fitted on a knuckle, and a power transmission member disposed between the inner race and the outer race; and a boot having a band seat that is positioned on the inner race of the bearing assembly, the boot having a fixing band fixed on a top of the boot and the boot being coupled to the inner race by the fixing band, where the boot includes a boot lip that is formed at one end or both ends of the band seat and protrudes toward the knuckle.

Implementations disclosed and claimed herein provide systems and methods for identifying and mitigating lug nut loosening. In one implementation, an indicator body of an indicator has a top surface connecting a front surface and a back surface. A first side of the indicator body is disposed opposite a second side of the indicator body. A receiver extends from the top surface into an interior of the indicator body. The receiver is configured to form a translational relationship of the lug nut with the indicator through a mating fit of the lug nut within the receiver. The translational relationship generates a corresponding rotation of the indicator body in response to a rotation of the lug nut. The corresponding rotation of the indicator body provides an indication that the lug nut is loose.

An attachment for a vehicle wheel enables driving operation with limited tire function. The attachment may include a base body, a tread surface for contacting a road surface, at least one bracing apparatus configured to engage with a hook portion behind a portion of a rim of the vehicle wheel and a bracing mechanism having a contact portion configured to actuate the bracing apparatus and to bring the hook portion into engagement behind the portion of the upon actuation of the contact portion.

The present invention relates to a multi-part rail wheel with a wheel tyre, a wheel body, an elastic body arranged between the wheel tyre and the wheel body and via which the wheel tyre is supported on the wheel body, and at least one clamping element attached to the wheel body from one end face, via which the elastic body is braced against the wheel body and the wheel tyre by clamping means acting on the wheel body, the wheel body consisting of a light metal material in the region where the clamping means act. The rail wheel guarantees secure bracing of the components with simple assembly and disassembly. This is achieved by at least one counter-bearing element being provided on the end face of the wheel body opposite the clamping element. The counter-bearing element consists of a material which has a higher strength than the wheel body material.

An attachment is provided for a vehicle wheel for enabling a driving operation with restricted tire functions. An attachment system may include such an attachment and a wheel disc of the vehicle wheel.

A wheel of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, has a rim, a hub portion, and at least two spokes connecting the hub portion to the rim. At least one free space between the spokes is covered at least in part by a substantially planar covering element. The covering element is produced from two different material layers.

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.

The invention relates to an attachment (14) for a vehicle wheel (1) for enabling a driving operation with restricted tire functions and to a system comprising an attachment (14) and a rim (2) of a vehicle wheel (1).

A bicycle wheel securing device comprises a shaft, an axial abutment structure, a bicycle-body engaging structure, a manual actuator, and a shaft-end retaining structure. The shaft has a first shaft end, a second shaft end, and a longitudinal center axis. The manual actuator is operatively connected to the axial abutment structure to bias the axial abutment structure against a first wheel attachment part of a bicycle body in response to operation of the manual actuator in a securing state where the bicycle-body engaging structure is engaged with a second wheel attachment part of the bicycle body. The shaft-end retaining structure is at least partly disposed at the second shaft end to retain the second shaft end in the first wheel attachment part in a maintenance state where the second shaft end is positioned in the first wheel attachment part of the bicycle body.

A caterer buffet table conversion kit comprises detachable one piece spring handles for transport and exchange of chafing dishes, and low profile table casters. The components of the kit have utility individually. The handles are each formed from a one piece spring steel and include a semi-cylindrical grip, an upper and a lower leaf with the lower having a spring forming member facilitating the engagement of the chafing pan between the leafs. Each caster includes a caster assembly including a caster wheel or caster ball and a tubular table coupling bracket coupled thereto and configured to receive a conventional table leg therein. The bracket is offset from a caster wheel or caster ball and configured to receive the table leg wherein a terminal end of the table leg is positioned vertically below the center of the caster wheel or caster ball to minimize the height of the table top.
