The present disclosure relates to a reinforced pivot pin receptacle, specifically made of plastic or other non-metal material and a method for adhering planar element to a cardboard surface, specifically wherein the planar element is made of plastic.

A composite wheel assembly and method of construction thereof is provided. The composite wheel assembly includes a lightweight annular fiber-reinforced barrel having an inner surface and an outer surface configured to support a tire thereon. A lightweight metal central hub assembly is fixed to the barrel. The metal central hub assembly includes a central hub portion and plurality of support spokes extending outwardly from the metal central hub portion. A wheel cladding contrasting in at least one of material type, color, texture and surface finish to an outwardly facing surface of the central hub assembly is fixed to the outwardly facing surface of the central hub assembly.

A hybrid wheel including a functional rim, a center disc, and a wheel face insert, wherein the wheel rim and the center disc are made of a specified material, and wherein the wheel face insert is made of a dissimilar material. The wheel face insert can be secured to the center disc by at least one of screws, pins, rivets, or structural adhesive, and/or the wheel face insert can be secured to the functional rim by at least one of screws, pins, rivets, or structural adhesive.

The present invention discloses an opening-prefabricated carbon fiber spoke and a method for preparing thereof. The opening-prefabricated carbon fiber spoke includes: a spoke body made of carbon fiber, a nipple, and a nipple head. Both ends of the spoke body are a first fixed connector and a second fixed connector. The nipple is sleeved on the second fixed connector of the spoke body. A forked part of the second fixed connector is provided with a wedge pin. According to the present invention, a slope is formed at both ends of the spoke body, and the two ends are increasingly tight under an action of a pulling force, which greatly improves a tensile strength.

A sensing device for vehicle includes a housing having an opening formed at one side thereof; a sensing part disposed inside the housing and configured to sense wheel-related information to generate a signal; an insert on which the sensing part is mounted and disposed in the housing through the opening; at least one connection part connected to the sensing part so as to supply power to the sensing part or to transmit the signal from the sensing part; a body coupled to the housing and formed of a first material such that a portion of the insert is embedded in the body; and a filling material provided to fill an inner space of the housing therewith and formed of a second material different from the first material.

The present invention is intended to provide a machine component composed of metal and rubber that results in no increase of material costs for an adhesive or increase of manufacturing costs for metal molding, causes no contamination of the metal mold or generates no foreign matter on the metal mold due to adhesion of the adhesive at the time of molding, causes no failure by separation of the adhesive from a fitting portion at the time of fitting the metal component, and is clean and favorable in appearance. A machine component 1 composed of metal and rubber is formed by applying a thermoset resin adhesive A to a surface of a metal component 2 of a predetermined shape, and vulcanizing and adhering a rubber 3 of a predetermined shape to part of the surface of the metal component 2 by metal molding.

A wheel nut or axle nut for vehicles, having a body, having a central threaded hole, having a peripheral wall, having an abutment face at a lower side, wherein the nut also has a plurality of wrench faces on the peripheral wall of the nut body for tightening or releasing the nut by a tool which cooperates with the wrench faces. In the body at least one recess is provided in which a sensor element is arranged, wherein the sensor element is connected to a wireless interface which is configured to transmit a sensor signal of the sensor element wirelessly to an external reception unit.

A wheel assembly for a vehicle includes a face portion and a rim portion. The face portion is formed from an alloy and defines a plurality of spokes extending radially outwardly between a central portion and a proximal bead element. The rim portion is formed of a composite material that defines an annular wall extending between the proximal bead element and a distal bead element. The face portion defines a mating member that is disposed in mating engagement with a rim seat defined by the rim portion. The mating member and the rim seat define a receptor for receiving a pin with said pin including shear resistors oriented to counteract shear forces F between said face portion and the rim portion.

An electromotive drive wheel arrangement for a motor vehicle comprises: a stator that is connectable to a wheel carrier in a rotationally fixed manner and that supports a coil-like winding, and a rotor rotatably supported relative to the stator and configured in the form of a wheel rim and arranged at least partially radially outside around the stator, wherein the wheel rim comprises a rim base and a rim star, connected to each other, wherein the rim base includes at least partially a fiber-reinforced plastic, and in the rim base several magnets are integrated in a material connection, and that the rim star includes at least partially a metal material.

A rim of a bicycle wheel with a wall that, viewed in a radial section, extends along a closed line enclosing at least one annular cavity that is concentric with the rim. Partitioning the rim in three slices of equal size along the axis of rotation yields wall projections that have axially central portions that extend radially outwards to a greater extent than axially outer portions.
