An automobile wheel having a multilayer rim includes a wheel disc and a rim that is composed of at least two layers of metal rings by nesting, and a gap is preset between two adjacent metal rings; an outer side of one end of the wheel disc includes axial rim mounting grooves, and one end of the rim is inserted into the rim mounting grooves to fix the rim to the wheel disc.

An agricultural tool includes a wheel body and a flexible tyre with a hollow chamber and an inner surface around this hollow chamber; a circular opening on the chamber; a pair of beads bordering this opening; and a spacer at least partially tubular with two axially opposite end faces. Over one portion corresponding to one of the beads, the inner surface extends frustoconically by widening radially outward of the flexible tyre, and one of the end faces of the spacer has an axially protruding surface. The spacer is placed across the opening of the tyre such that the protruding surface engages the inner surface in an area of the portion corresponding to the bead.

Presented are hybrid metal and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite wheels for vehicle wheel assemblies, methods for making/using such wheels, and motor vehicles equipped with such wheels. A wheel for a motor vehicle wheel assembly includes a wheel face with multiple spokes that are circumferentially spaced about and project radially outward from a central hub. The central hub rotatably attaches to the vehicle's body, e.g., via a corner module. The wheel face is fabricated, e.g., as a one-piece structure, from an FRP material. A wheel barrel, which circumscribes the wheel face, includes an annular rim that mounts thereon an inflatable tire. The wheel barrel is fabricated, e.g., as a one-piece structure, from a metallic material. Multiple overmold through holes and/or inset tabs are circumferentially spaced about the annular rim. The FRP material extends through and/or surrounds the overmold through holes/inset tabs and thereby mounts the wheel face to the wheel barrel.

A manufacturing method for a wheel disc, includes forming a flange portion, wherein the flange portion is formed such that an inner mold and an outer mold having a cylindrical inner surface with a first inside radius larger than the first outside radius and placed above the inner mold coaxially to the inner mold are brought close relative to each other in an axial direction by one stroke so that the outer edge of the disc material is bent downward, and the cylindrical inner surface of the outer mold is provided with recessed portions hollowed outwardly in a wheel radial direction, the recessed portions being formed in ranges corresponding to the window portions in the wheel circumferential direction and in a range from a middle position to a bottom end in the wheel axial direction.

A rim for a wheel of a vehicle and having: a central hub; a peripheral ring, on which a tyre can be fitted; and a series of spokes, which are arranged radially and connect the peripheral ring to the central hub. Each spoke has three initial branches, which are distinct and separate from one another, originate from different portions of the central hub and, at a given distance from the central hub, join one another so as to form one single central branch, which ends in the peripheral ring.

A bicycle disc wheel comprises a first disc panel and a second disc panel. The first disc panel has a first side outer surface and a first side inner surface and the second disc panel has a second side outer surface and a second side inner surface. The first side outer surface radially extends from a first disc panel outer perimeter to a center opening and the second side outer surface radially extends from a second disc panel outer perimeter to the center opening. The second side inner surface faces the first side inner surface. A brace is coupled to the first side inner surface and the second side inner surface that provide radial and axial structural support to the disc panels.

A hub built-in type constant velocity apparatus includes a hub housing with a constant velocity joint coupled inwardly, an internal race coupled to an external circumferential surface of the hub housing, and a pre-load ring coupled to the external circumferential surface of the hub housing and located on a side of the internal race, wherein an end portion of the hub housing is formed to be rolled upwards toward the pre-load ring to form a forming portion coupled to the pre-load spring for applying pressure to the pre-load ring and the internal race.

A bicycle hub assembly comprises a hub axle, a hub body, a sprocket support body, and a freewheel structure. The sprocket support body includes at least ten external spline teeth configured to engage with a bicycle rear sprocket assembly. Each of the at least ten external spline teeth has an external-spline driving surface and an external-spline non-driving surface. The freewheel structure includes a first ratchet member and a second ratchet member. The first ratchet member includes at least one first ratchet tooth. The second ratchet member includes at least one second ratchet tooth configured to engage with the at least one first ratchet tooth in a torque transmitting manner.

The disclosure is directed to a wheel having a rim that is at least partially made from several layers of fiber-reinforced plastic, and a wheel center having multiple spokes extending from a wheel hub, which constitutes an axis of rotation, to the rim in a radial direction. According to the disclosure the rim comprises a rim well extending in transversal direction between an inboard flange and an outboard flange suitable to receive a tire to be mounted thereon. The wheel includes a circumferential collar that extends from the outboard flange radially inwards towards the axis of rotation and that has an outboard collar face that constitutes an aerodynamic surface.

A variable thickness rim structure made of carbon fiber composite includes an outer ply block, that is paved as an outer side of the rim structure; an upper ply block, that is paved as an upper part of an inner side of the rim structure; a lower ply block, that is paved as a lower part of the inner side of the rim structure; a filling ply block, that is paved among the outer ply block, the upper ply block, and the lower ply block, where a first end of the upper ply block and a first end of the lower ply block extend inwards to form an annular connecting flange; a second end of the upper ply block extends upwards and a second end of the lower ply block extends downwards to form a rim ring together with the outer ply block.
