The invention relates to a wheel for a powered two-wheeler, in particular a motorcycle or a motor scooter, that is at least sectionally made of a fiber-reinforced plastic material. A hub area (12) of the wheel (IO) is provided with two rigid, self-supporting, metal inserts (18, 20), which are arranged on axially opposite sides of the hub area (12), and which in an axial and radial direction (A, r) are connected to one another in a form-fit manner.

A wheel with high strength flexible spokes of the present invention, including a rim and hub, and spokes between the rim and hub made of fibrous material that causes the spokes to be both lighter in weight and stronger than comparable steel spokes. The spokes are also flexible and resilient such that they can bend while retaining their integrity and strength. The wheel includes a nipple within the rim that receives the high strength spoke and allows for flexibility in adapting the spoke to wheels having differing shapes and sizes.

A fiber-reinforced composite wheel for a road vehicle includes a rim and a mount integrally joined to the barrel by spokes, wherein the wheel includes a continuous ply of reinforcing fiber fabric extending through a first spoke, through at least a portion of the mount, and through another spoke of the wheel to provide improved strength, durability and integrity to the wheel.

A road wheel for a vehicle includes a face portion and a rim portion. The face portion is formed from a metallic alloy and defines a central portion plurality of spokes extending between the central portion and a proximal bead element. The rim portion is formed from a composite material and defines an annular wall circumscribing a wheel axis extending to a distal bead element from said face portion. The proximal bead element is defined by the metallic alloy and the distal bead element is defined by the composite. The face portion and the rim portion are interconnected in interlocking engagement.

A wheel includes a first hoop attached to a second hoop about a circumferential interface. The first and second hoops form at least part of an enclosed box structure positioned circumferentially around the wheel and adjacent to an outboard side of the wheel. The box structure may be formed at least in part by circumferential projections of the first hoop and the second hoop. The wheel may also include a central hub that optionally includes spokes. In some embodiments, the central hub may form part of the enclosed box structure. In some embodiments, a first hoop portion and a second hoop portion may be integral or unitary, with a box structure integrally formed between the hoop portions.

A high temperature-resistant wheel, comprising: an elastic hub assembly (1), which has a thermal insulation layer integrated therewith so as to insulate the elastic hub assembly (1) from exterior high temperatures; and a rigid wheel barbed ring (2), which has the elastic hub assembly (1) fastened inside and rotates together with the elastic hub assembly (1). A robot, which comprises the high temperature-resistant wheel.

Provided is a wheel (6a) in which a disk (62) includes a ring-shaped rim (60) on which a tire (6b) is fitted, and a disk (62) having a flat circular shape and disposed on an inner circumference of the rim (60). The disk (62) includes a first rib (62a) and a second rib (62b) which extend in a radial direction of the disk (62). A width of each of the first rib (62a) and the second rib (62b) in a circumferential direction of the disk (62) increases toward an outer circumferential side of the disk (62).

A wheel includes a rim that is at least partially made from a fiber reinforced plastic. The rim has an inner side extending to the hub region of the wheel and an outer side extending centrifugally away from the hub region of the wheel whereby the outer side includes a well which is interconnected with an outer shoulder by a transition area. A wheel center is interconnected with the inner side of the rim by at least one fastener wherein the at least one fastener penetrates the rim via at least one opening that extends from the inner side of the rim to the outer side of the rim. An annular cover is arranged at the outer side of the rim in a circumferential direction around the wheel and thereby covers the at least one fastener and/or the at least one opening.

A wheel for a vehicle, in particular a motorcycle or a motor scooter includes a hub region which has at least some portions made of a fiber-reinforced plastic material. The hub region includes a recess in which an insert for connecting the wheel to a vehicle axle is placed. An isolation element which galvanically isolates the insert from the hub region is arranged between the hub region and the insert.

The invention relates to a vehicle rim having a rim body made from a fiber composite material, the rim body having two rim flange areas and a rim bed area connecting the two rim flange areas, and at least one rim flange area being reinforced by at least one fiber bundle and this at least one fiber bundle being surrounded by a compression wrap. The invention also relates to a vehicle wheel with the vehicle rim and to a production method for the vehicle rim.
