Apparatus and method for assembling a non-rotating wheel cap. A bearing is seated in either an outer disk of an inner disk as a first assembly step. A weight is in the form of an arc between 90 and 110 degrees and resides in a pocket formed in the outer disk. An adapter disk is attachable to the inner disk to allow customizing for various wheel fitment. A center ornamental portion may be a custom part or may be cut from an original fixed wheel center cap is cut from the fixed center cap, and attached to the outer disk converting the fixed center cap to a non-rotating center cap.

A flanged inner ring of a wheel hub unit includes a flange extending transverse to a central axis of symmetry and having a plurality of fixing holes for attaching a wheel. The flanged inner ring also includes a continuous tubular body projecting axially from the flange, the continuous tubular body having a plurality of polygonal recesses. The polygonal recesses reduce weight of the wheel hub unit and improve water drainage from the wheel hub unit.

A strut type suspension device has a retractable strut (111) that connects to an upper portion of an in-wheel motor drive device (10) so as not to relatively move; and a swingable lower arm (116) that is coupled to a lower portion of the in-wheel motor drive device in any direction, and permits vertical swinging of the in-wheel motor drive device and also permits steering of the in-wheel motor drive device about a steering shaft (S) that passes through a coupling point (119) between the lower arm (116) and the in-wheel motor drive device. An axis (M) of the motor portion (21) of the in-wheel motor drive device is arranged above a height of the coupling point (119) of the lower arm (116).

The invention relates to a lifting device for lifting loads, vehicles, or the like, comprising a mobile base frame (12); a lifting column (14) provided on the base frame (12); a support (15), said lifting column (14) and support (15) being guided by a guide (45); a load receiving means (20) which is arranged on the support (15) and by means of which a load receiving region (21) is determined, said base frame (12) having at least three support points outside of the load receiving region (21) of the load receiving means (20); and a drive unit which can be controlled by a controller and which moves the support (14) up and down relative to the lifting column (14). The lifting column (14) is arranged on the base frame (12) eccentrically to the load receiving region (21) and in a rotated manner relative to a longitudinal side of the load receiving region (20).

The present invention discloses a special wheel spray support, which is composed of a base body, a bottom plate, struts, adjusting blocks, supporting pins, protective jackets, a stop pin and the like. When in use, the special wheel spray support of the present invention can meet the requirements for online spraying of special wheels and bolt hole protection, and is not only high in universality and simple in structure, but also has a series of prominent advantages, such as good safety and reliability, low manufacturing cost, etc.

The invention relates to a bicycle wheel made of a fiber composite material, including a rim, a plurality of spokes, and a center, wherein the spokes each have a first and second spoke section extending between the rim and the center, wherein the first and second rim section have a curved shape in a laminated state and the two rim sections extend straight in a pretensioned state.

A tool for working in fields includes a first flange and a second flange which mount one on the other, forming a wheel body. The first flange includes a central portion, a generally annular peripheral portion and at least one arm which connect(s) the central portion and the peripheral portion to each other. The second flange is homologous to the peripheral portion of the first flange. In the assembled state, the wheel body has a rim which is formed together by the peripheral portion of the first flange and the second flange and a hub which is formed by the central portion of the first flange.

A vehicle spindle and a method of attaching the spindle to a portion of an axle half shaft housing. The spindle has an inner surface, an outer surface, one or more bearing journals on the outer surface of the spindle and a radially protruding portion circumferentially extending from at least a portion of the outer surface of an axially inboard end portion of the spindle. Prior to attaching the spindle to the axle half shaft housing, the one or more bearing journals are ground, a clocking angle for the radially protruding portion of the spindle is determined and the spindle is aligned to the determined clocking angle. Once the spindle is aligned to the determined clocking angle, the axially inboard end portion of the spindle is attached to an axially outboard end portion of the axle half shaft housing using one or more welds.

The utility model relates to the technical field of a hub, particularly to a light-weight hub made of a steel-aluminum composite material. The hub includes an aluminum alloy base body, an outer bearing hole steel sleeve, an inner bearing hole steel sleeve and a plurality of bolt hole steel inserts; wherein a plurality of wheel bolt holes and brake disc bolt holes in a circumferential side of a flange of the aluminum alloy base body are provided with steel inserts; and an outer bearing outer race and an inner bearing outer race are respectively press-fitted into the outer bearing steel sleeve and the inner bearing steel sleeve in an interference manner, so as to be fixedly connected with the hub.

A spoke for an at least partially muscle-powered bicycle and wheel including a spoke where the spoke comprises a spoke body with a hub-side, first end and a rim-side, second end and the first end and the second end are remote from one another. The spoke body is elongated and includes at least one first center region disposed closer to the first end than to the second end, and at least one second center region disposed closer to the second end than to the first end. The first center region and in the second center region of the spoke body each include flattened cross-sections substantially accommodated in a longitudinal plane. In the second center region the spoke body is configured more asymmetric than in the first center region.
