Thermoluminescent Tire Safety Indicator Structure
20180015872 · 2018-01-18 ·

A thermoluminescent tire safety indicator structure includes a vehicle wheel and at least one luminescent indicator. The vehicle wheel includes a tire and a wheel disk. The luminescent indicator includes a styling pattern formed on the tire and/or the wheel disk and a thermoluminescent coating layer provided on the styling pattern. The thermoluminescent coating layer includes compounds with nano-scale thermoluminescent crystals and thermosetting polyester resins. The thermoluminescent coating layer on the vehicle wheel fluoresces for aesthetics as well as safety and warning effects when temperature on the tire and/or the wheel disk of a running vehicle increases.

SYSTEM PROVIDING LIGHTING TO VEHICLE WHEELS AND RIMS
20170341567 · 2017-11-30 ·

A wheel includes illumination built into the wheel, such as one or more LEDs disposed within the wheel itself. Unlike add-one lighting accessories, the LEDs may be integrated with the wheel to avoid disconnection from the wheel. The wheels can include a centrally located power supply and a switch. An optional cover may be disposed over the wheel. With the LEDs formed into the wheel, the optional covers may be flush with and shaped in a shape to match the wheel. The wheels may be wheels from cars, trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and the like. When the wheel may be visible from both sides, as in the case with motorcycles, the LEDs may be disposed and integrated in both sides of the wheel.

Device for maintaining the orientation of an emblem in an automobile wheel

Device for maintaining the orientation of an emblem in an automobile wheel includes maintaining the emblem in a substantially vertical orientation. Maintaining the emblem in a substantially vertical orientation comprises a detection component for detecting the orientation of the emblem. The emblem also comprises a motor provided with an output shaft. The output shaft of the motor rotates integrally with the emblem such that the motor rotates the emblem to place it in a substantially vertical orientation depending on the orientation of the emblem detected by the detecting component.
