A flange is connectable with the flange mounting segment and separately with the hub. The flange mounting segment of the rotor has an inboard facing surface at least part of which is for engaging head portions of wheel studs. The inboard facing surface is substantially planar and free of wheel stud clearance reliefs. A transition region is located between the flange mounting segment and sleeve segment and is also free of wheel stud clearance reliefs.

Described herein is an axle assembly and method of fabrication thereof. The axle assembly includes an axle having a first geometric shape housed within an axle housing having a second geometric shape. A shock absorber is located between the axle and the axle housing. The shock absorber supports the axle within the axle housing and comprises a first material and comprises a multi-sided configuration. The first geometric shape and the second geometric shape comprising polygons.

In one aspect, a wheel hub apparatus including a wheel hub that is rotatable about a central axis and has a unitary, one-piece construction. The wheel hub apparatus further includes a circular brake element having a unitary, one-piece construction and extending about the wheel hub. The wheel hub and the circular brake element include engaged portions securing the wheel hub and the circular brake element together. The engaged portions of the wheel hub and the circular brake element fix the circular brake element against axial movement along the wheel hub. In this manner, the engaged portions of the wheel hub and the circular brake element provide a mechanical joint that connects the wheel hub and the circular brake element using the material of the wheel hub and the circular brake element.

A child vehicle includes a front frame having a handlebar with a steering tube and a front fork having a fork stem and a front wheel, a rear frame including a head tube and a rear wheel, and a sleeve assembly mounted to the front frame and engaging the rear frame to rotatably connect the front and rear frames in a tool-less manner. A method of tool-less assembly of a child vehicle includes inserting an end of the fork stem through the head tube, sliding an inner sleeve over the end of the fork stem and positively connecting the inner sleeve to the fork stem, sliding the outer sleeve over an end of the steering tube, connecting the steering tube to the fork stem, and connecting the outer sleeve to the inner sleeve. A child vehicle having a rear wheel connected to the vehicle in a tool-less manner and a method of achieving such a tool-less connection is also disclosed.

The present invention discloses a device for removal of wheel rim burr which comprises a main body, plural positioning wheels, an eccentric wheel disposed on the main body, and at least two brush wheels disposed between two corresponding positioning wheels.

A method for producing a product (200, 300, 400) comprising a composite fiber part (202, 402) and a second part (201, 401), wherein the second part (201, 401) comprises a carrier part (203, 403), wherein the carrier part (203, 403) is a replica of a press tool (301a, 301b) configured to be heated and to apply a pressure, comprising the steps of: applying (101), in a non-cured state, the composite fiber part (202, 402) on the carrier part (203, 403); arranging (103) the carrier part (203, 403) comprising the composite fiber part (202, 402) on the press tool (301a, 301b); curing (104a) the composite fiber part (202, 402) on the carrier part (203, 403); and removing (105) the product (200, 300, 400) from the press tool (301a, 301b), wherein after removal from the press tool (301a, 301b) the composite fiber part (202, 402) and the carrier part (203, 403) constitutes together at least a part of the finished product (200, 300, 400). Also disclosed is a composite fiber product comprising a composite fiber part and a second part.

A device for monitoring wear of a flange (1) of a roller (2) includes a peripheral rim (3) and intended to cooperate with a homologous flange (1 bis) of a roller (2bis) positioned face-to-face to interact with the head of a rolling rail (4). The device includes at least one first recess localized at the level of a peripheral line of constant radius on the flange (1) configured to be positioned at the level at which the point (7) of separation of the flange (1) relative to its homologue (1 bis) is the smallest.

A castor suspension system for suspending a first castor at a patient support device is provided. The castor suspension system comprises a pivoting suspension link pivotably attachable to the patient support device, and a springy element comprising a leaf spring made of a band deformed such that the band makes at least one U-turn so that the band has a first leg and at least one second leg. One of the first leg and the at least one second leg is provided with a first support portion supported on the pivoting suspension link, and the other of the first leg and the at least one second leg is provided with a second support portion for supporting the springy element with respect to the patient support device such that the springy element is configured to provide a pre-stress force to the pivoting suspension link.

An axle end assembly has a wheel brake arrangement and a wheel hub arrangement. The assembly is designed as a preassembled unit with a hollow shaft element on which the wheel brake arrangement and the wheel hub arrangement are disposed.
