A packaging system having an outboard guard and an outboard retainer cap. The outboard guard includes an outboard guard opening having a hole through the planform of the outboard guard, an engagement portion having an annular surface radially surrounding the outboard guard opening, an outboard bearing protector portion having an annular surface radially surrounding the engagement portion of the outboard guard, and an outer rim having an annular surface radially surrounding the outboard bearing protector portion. The outboard retainer cap is configured to be removably affixed to the outboard guard and includes an outboard alignment protrusion having a circular surface, an engagement portion having an annular surface radially surrounding the outboard alignment protrusion, and a retaining flange having an annular surface radially surrounding the engagement portion of the outboard retainer cap.

A semi-trailer wheel restraint system having at least one bearing or swivel, or a combination of bearing(s) and swivel(s), and one or more cable sections and one or more hub cab attachments for receipt into one or more wheel assemblies and through a hollow core of the trailer's axle. During a wheel bearing failure, the wheel restraint system keeps the loose wheel assembly near the end of the axle by anchoring it to the opposite-end's hub cap, thereby preventing a run-away wheel assembly and providing an operator of the truck an opportunity to safely stop the rig.

A casing protecting a wheel rim being painted from scratching against elements of an automatic painting line, prior to painting, including a monolithic round shield (1) made of polyamide reinforced with glass fibres with a ring-like shoulder located vertically on its outer perimeter (2), and an outer hollowed profile shoulder (3) within the symmetry axis, created from a ring-like part (4) turning into a section of a truncated taper (5) closed in its upper end, and this ring-like shoulder (2), in its lower face (10), comes with at least three shoulders directed to the inside of this ring-like part of the shoulder (11) or (11) which operate as latches evenly distributed on the circumference of the ring-like shoulder (2); and three cylindrical metal bars (12) protruding over its both surfaces will be sealed in this casing shield (1) to create an equilateral triangle profile with truncated vertices encompassing the profile shoulder (3).

A rim section 18 is provided with e disk section 20 and is secured to a jig by patting the disk section 20 as the lower side. By allowing a groove section 40 (an engaging section) provided along a circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface 21 of the rim section 18 to engage with a bent end section 48 of a reinforced member 14 attached from the upper side of the jig, the reinforced member 14 can be easily positioned on the inner peripheral surface 21 of the rim section 18.

Mechanical strength of a second shaft portion of a position fixing bolt is larger than that of a first shaft portion of a positioning bolt. Cross-sectional shape of a positioning through-hole, cross-sectional shape of the first shaft portion, cross-sectional shape of each of position fixing through-holes, and cross-sectional shape of each of the second shaft portions are designed so that a total dimension of a first clearance in a circumferential direction about the rotation center axis is larger than a total dimension of a second clearance in the circumferential direction, the second clearance formed between an inner peripheral surface of each of the position fixing through-holes and an outer peripheral surface of the second shaft portion of each of the position fixing bolts.

The present invention relates generally to tire servicing operations and, more specifically, to a tire servicing cage for maintaining, repairing, changing, and inflating tires. The servicing cage may include a frame assembly secured to a base plate. A counterweight assembly may be coupled to the frame assembly to assist with moving the cage from an open position to a closed position. Further, the base plate may include a post member having a pivoting head configured to receive a rim of a tire. Advantageously, the servicing cage may prevent debris from discharging outside of frame assembly and accommodate maintaining, repairing, changing, and inflating wheel assemblies of different diameters.
