Low impact turf wheel
A low impact turf wheel for significantly reducing the adverse effects of frequent travel over turf by a lawn mower includes a wheel rim having an inner and outer surface, a hub arranged within the wheel rim, wherein the hub includes a central portion for mounting the turf wheel, and a plurality of spaced apart stems extending perpendicularly outward from the outer surface of the wheel rim. The stem includes a stem surface extending perpendicularly to the stem and a lug extending radially outward from the stem surface. The lug includes a lug face parallel to the stem surface, wherein the combination of the stem surface and lug face provide a ground contacting tread.
Wheel guard for compactor wheel
A wheel guard includes a guard member disposed on a compactor wheel. The guard member has a first side having a first portion and a second portion. The second portion is offset from the first portion such that to define a first stepped recess therein. The guard member has a second side disposed opposite to the first side. The first portion has a first cross-sectional thickness and the second portion has a second cross-sectional thickness such that the second cross-sectional thickness is lesser than the first cross-sectional thickness. The guard member has a first top surface defined by the first portion, and a second top surface defined by the second portion and partially by the first portion. The second top surface is offset from the first top surface such that to define a second stepped recess therein. The wheel guard includes a base plate and a wear pad coupled thereto.

LOW IMPACT TURF WHEEL AND WHEEL CLEANING SYSTEM
A turf wheel having a wheel rim having an inner and outer surface, and an annular tread portion; a plurality of projections extending radially outward from the outer surface of the wheel rim, wherein each projection provides a stem, a ground contacting pad, and a ground engaging lug; and a hub. A wheel cleaning system having a frame provided by a wheeled apparatus; at least one turf wheel mounted to the frame; a turf wheel scraper assembly, the turf wheel scraper assembly providing a turf wheel scraper and an attachment mechanism, where the attachment mechanism is adapted to be mounted to the frame, and couples the turf wheel scraper to the frame.
Wheel
A wheel includes a body (10) having a cylindrical outer circumference; a first ring member (21) provided at one side edge of the body (10) in the form of a protruding ring; a second ring member (22) provided at the other side edge of the body (10) in the form of a protruding ring; a rotation ring (30) located between the first ring member (21) and the second ring member (22) and located out of the body (10) and rotatably coupled thereto; a plurality of pivoting plates (40) coupled to the rotation ring (30) to be pivotal outward and configured to protrude out of the rotation ring (30); a connection member (50) located between the plurality of pivoting plates (40) to connect the first ring member (21) and the second ring member (22) and serve as a stopper for limiting a pivoting range of the pivoting plate (40); a first opening (31) formed at the rotation ring (30) along a rotation direction of the rotation ring (30); a second opening (11) formed at the body (10) at a position corresponding to the first opening (31); a stopper bar (60) configured to be pivotal based on a center portion (C) of the body (10) and provided through the first opening (31) and the second opening (11); and a shock absorber (70) coupled to the body (10) to absorb shock when the stopper bar (60) pivots.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM PROPULSION WHEELS AND METHODS OF MAKING
Wheels adapted to roll on and across surfaces of fields, for example, as part of irrigation systems of types used in agricultural applications. Such a wheel has an axis of rotation, a center portion comprising a central hub concentrically disposed on the axis of the wheel and multiple spokes radiating from the central hub, and a tread portion circumscribing the center portion. A radially outermost extent of each spoke terminates at a spade that is oriented parallel to the axis of the wheel. The tread portion includes tread plates, each located between and attached to adjacent pairs of the spokes. The spades protrude radially outward between and beyond adjacent pairs of the tread plates.

VEHICLE HUB ATTACHMENT ADAPTOR AND ACCESSORIES THEREFOR
Wheel hub adaptor (11) attachable to vehicle wheel to attach vehicle accessory for rotation with vehicle wheel, has an inner mounting plate (15) with recesses or apertures (17) to match a vehicle wheel stud pattern, a body (19) extending from the plate (15) to an outer mounting plate (27) having a mount to which the vehicle accessory attaches. The mount has apertures (65) which align with studs (75) on a mating mount of the vehicle accessory. The inner mounting plate and the outer mounting plate mount to the vehicle wheel and vehicle accessory respectively, by rotating apertures (17 65) to stop portions (35 71), and is secured by a bolt passing through one of two circular apertures (43 45) or (67 69). Vehicle accessories can be provided like a paddle to self-propel the vehicle in sand, and a wheel to widen the vehicle track.
Sinusoidal wheel
A wheel set assembly having a plurality of sinusoidal channeled wheels. The sinusoidal channeled wheels having a sinusoidal channel disposed around a circular exterior surface of each of the sinusoidal channeled wheels. The wheel set assembly allows for better maneuverability and longevity in comparison to other materials handling equipment wheels because of the sinusoidal channels. The sinusoidal channels also provide heat dissipation along with the ability to push debris out of the way of the materials handling equipment.
Paddle tire
A paddle tire with a tire body and a plurality of paddles. The tire body has a right sidewall, a left sidewall, and an outer surface joining the right sidewall to the left sidewall. The paddles are affixed to the outer surface at discrete intervals around a circumference of the tire body and alternate between left-side paddles and right-side paddles. A right portion of each right-side paddle adjacent the right sidewall of the tire body has a first height and a left portion of each right-side paddle distal to the right sidewall of the tire body has a second height. A left portion of each left-side paddle adjacent the left sidewall of the tire body has a first height and a right portion of each left-side paddle distal to the left sidewall of the tire body has a second height. The second height is less than the first height.
