The invention relates to a drive wheel for a bike, comprising a rim which is fastened to a hub by means of a plurality of spokes, wherein the spokes are made of reinforcing fibers embedded in resin, the reinforcing fibers of a spoke extending from a first fastening portion at the rim to a second fastening portion offset against the former in the circumferential direction and being guided along the outside of the hub, wherein the hub takes a shape polygonal in cross-section on the outside to which an axial side of each spoke is adjacent. The invention further relates to a bicycle comprising said drive wheel configured as a rear wheel.

A hub and a wheel having such a hub. The hub includes a hub shell and an axle to rotatably receive the hub shell. The hub shell is provided with circumferential hub flanges for accommodation and defined orientation of a plurality of spokes. Each of the spokes includes a spoke body and a spoke head. The hub flanges include a plurality of accommodation sections to receive one spoke head each. The accommodation sections are axially disposed on the hub flanges. Each of the accommodation sections has one spoke feed-through assigned to it, through which an accommodated spoke can be guided out of the accommodation section. Two spoke feed-throughs each are provided with one joint and circumferentially closed outlet opening in the hub flanges. The hub flanges enclose the outlet opening integrally.

The present invention relates to a motor vehicle trailer with at least one rigid axle with at least one tubular element. The motor vehicle trailer is characterized in that the tubular element has a yield strength Rp0.2 of at least 600 MPa, a tensile strength Rm of at least 850 MPa, a breaking elongation A5 of at least 14% and the tubular element (10) consists of an air-hardening, mainly bainitic material. In addition, a chassis axle as well as the use of a material for a chassis axle is disclosed.

A wheel disc for a disc wheel, especially for utility vehicles; with an essentially radially extending hub fitting flange and an essentially cylindrical disc edge which can be joined to a wheel rim, and with a transition region extending between the hub fitting flange and the disc edge, wherein the transition region is subdivided into at least five segments (Ai to v) passing into each other or into the hub fitting flange or the disc edge, each of which has an outer end situated closer to the hub fitting flange and an inner end situated closer to the disc edge, wherein neighbouring segments have curvatures with different directions and variable material thickness, with the ratios of the material thicknesses and the ratio of their lengths to heights are chosen as follows:

TABLE-US-00001 Material thickness of Length in axial inner end direction Material thickness of Height in radial outer end direction Segment A.sub.I 0.45-0.7  0.9-1.1 (between hub fitting flange and segment A.sub.II) Segment A.sub.II 0.7-1.0  1.6-1.9 (between A.sub.I and A.sub.III) Segment A.sub.III 0.9-1.25 2.5-2.8 (between A.sub.II and A.sub.IV) Segment A.sub.IV 0.9-1.25 2.8-3.1 (between A.sub.III and A.sub.V) Segment A.sub.V 0.7-1.15 6.0-6.8 (between A.sub.IV and disc edge)

An apparatus for transferring driving force at a wheel for a vehicle may include a housing of a constant velocity joint having a center of a first end portion formed to be penetrated and inserted into a hub bearing, and a step formed on an inner peripheral surface of a middle portion of the housing, a hub flange supporting an expansion part by the step by having one end portion coupled to a wheel side and another end portion inserted into the housing to thereby form the expansion part expanded in a radial direction, and a forming member installed in the housing to face the expansion part and having an outer peripheral surface supported by an inner peripheral surface of the housing.

A vehicle wheel having a rim, a hub, a plurality of spokes with at least one of the spokes having a first portion connected the rim and a second portion connected to the hub. The rim includes a spoke bed wall with a radially outboard surface and a spoke hole having a radially outboard entrance and perimeter edge. The spoke extends through the spoke hole and is engaged to the spoke bed wall by an overlie engagement at a bearing interface between a bearing surface of the spoke and the radially outboard surface to limit longitudinally inward displacement between the spoke and spoke bed wall. At least a portion of the bearing interface is laterally outwardly spaced from the first perimeter edge by a lateral distance of at least 0.7 millimeters.

A wheel includes a rim having a rim well and rim flanges, a hub, and at least three spoke elements. Each spoke element forms at least one spoke between the hub and the rim. The spoke elements are fastened to an inside of the rim in a form-closed manner or a form-closed and bonded manner. In the hub region, the spoke elements are supported on each other in a circumferential direction at abutting surfaces designed therefor. A method for producing the wheel is provided.

Forward movement of a bicycle results when force is transfer from the chain or belt to a sprocket on a cassette. The cassette is splined to the cassette driver and causes the wheel of the bike to rotate when torque is applied from the cassette to the cassette driver. The cassette driver is typically made of a strong hard material such as steel to withstand the forces in parted thereon by the cassette. The present disclosure provide a hub configuration and method that enables the cassette driver to be made with construction of a lighter weight material such as aluminum yet still withstand the toque applied thereto.

This invention is related to a wheel securing structure of trucks. The securing structure mainly install iron screwshaft liners on keyholes of the mounting parts of the aluminum rims. The bolts of the assembling part correspondingly penetrate the holes of the screwshaft liners each. A first folded edge and a second folded edge are formed on two terminals of the screwshaft liners to respectively insert into the conical pits of the mounting part of the rims. The nuts screw onto the bolts of the assembling part to secure the rim onto the assembling part and the nuts. When the trucks pass bumping roads, the relative motion, caused by vibrations, is occurred between the rims and the assembling part. Therefore, friction is generated between the wheels and the bolts, as well as the nuts and the terminal surfaces of the assembling part. The screwshaft liner is used to let the friction above act on the screwshaft liner. Therefore, the soft aluminum rim will not be directly rubbed by the bolts, nuts, and the assemble part to be damaged. Accordingly, the aluminum rim can be suitable for the trucks and other heavy vehicles.
