20200198531 · 2020-06-25 ·

Tire or wheel for use on a vehicle, machine, equipment, toy or the like. The tire or wheel has an illuminable feature including at least one optical fiber.

VEHICLE

Provided is a vehicle including a plurality of wheels, a steering device, and a direction indication system. The steering device is configured to steer the wheels at least either to such a first steering angle that the vehicle travels straight in a direction intersecting the front-rear direction or to such a second steering angle that the vehicle rotates around a vertical axis passing through a central portion of the vehicle body. The direction indication system is configured to, when the steering device steers the wheels to either the first steering angle or the second steering angle, indicate toward the outside of the vehicle body that the vehicle is going to travel straight in a direction intersecting the front-rear direction or that the vehicle is going to rotate around the vertical axis passing through the central portion of the vehicle body.

WHEEL LOCK INDICATOR
20200172003 · 2020-06-04 ·

A wheel lock indicator for use with wheels on a tractor trailer. The wheel lock indicator includes an elongated bar having a first end, a second end, and a medial portion. The second end includes a light that is configured to be selectively turned on or off, while the first end has a magnetized portion to secure the first end to the wheel on the tractor trailer.

WHEEL STRUCTURE WITH CIRCULAR LIGHT EMISSION
20200148100 · 2020-05-14 ·

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wheels. It discloses a wheel structure with circular light emission which includes a fixed shaft, a hub that rotates about the fixed shaft, a light base structure fixedly connected with the fixed shaft, and a light cover protecting the light base structure. The light base structure includes a light strip mounting base and a light strip looped around the light strip mounting base. In this way, the light strip emits light which can create a cool effect when in use. The light base structure is fixedly connected with the fixed shaft so that the light base structure is fixed and damaging of electric wires due to rotation can be prevented. This can improve service life of the product, simplify its structure, lower its production cost, and provide great convenience to the user.

Rotational display system

The present invention provides a system which integrates unique lighting technologies, switching systems, mounting systems, information delivery systems and power supply systems within a support such as vehicular wheel to provide an advanced, high quality visual display apparatus in various surfaces of rotation. A displayed image may be three dimensional. These technologies, and their many unique applications, provide for a novel and useful series of video display devices that are small, lightweight, efficient and can have the capability of producing a clear, bright, high definition image that is equivalent to that of a modern day TV or high quality computer monitor.

REAR WHEEL POSITION INDICATOR

A light emitting unit for irradiating a road surface on a side of a rear wheel of a vehicle with light is included. A light irradiation area by the light emitting unit is at least a planar area extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. This allows a driver to visually recognize the position of the rear wheel of the vehicle.
