  • Patent number: 10953695
    Abstract: An improved wheel for a mobility apparatus designed is disclosed herein. The wheel conforms to obstacles in the ground, creating a smoother walking experience. The inner web of a tire of the wheel preferably consists of polygonal reliefs offset from each other over multiple layers in a radially symmetric pattern to create a web which naturally compresses to absorb shock from obstacles. The tire's inner core preferably consists of a hexagonal membrane that extends parallel to the axel of the tire and extends out of each side of the wheel such that it is visible.

  • Patent number: 8757732
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle hybrid wheel comprising a formed steel rim ring and a wheel disk, manufactured as a light-alloy casting having a concentrically formed disk edge, on which the rim ring bears at least partially at multiple, spaced contact points for rotationally fixed connection to the wheel disk. In order to ensure an adequate force flux between the rim ring and the wheel disk, the wheel disk is provided with a circumferentially formed depression, in which a circumferential edge of the rim ring, angled radially outwards in relation to a bead seat section formed on the rim ring, engages by positive interlock and/or force closure.

  • Publication number: 20110248554
    Abstract: Provided is a non-pneumatic wheel (100) for a vehicle, and a wheel (100), suspension (200; 200-1), and tire (300) used therein that are capable of ensuring driving stability because there is no air chamber between a wheel (100) and a tire (300) to blowout. They are also capable of ensuring good road holding, preventing standing waves, reducing brake fade and cornering force, providing good handling and ride comfort, staying quiet when rolling, and are economical and environmentally friendly.

  • Patent number: 6623086
    Abstract: An improved automotive vehicle wheel plated with an overcoating, such as chrome, is constructed in such a manner as to be free of the blistering effects of residual acidic and caustic chemicals employed in the chrome-plating process. Like conventional automotive vehicle wheels of this type, the wheel of the invention is comprised of an outer rim into which a wheel center is set. However, unlike conventional wheels, the center of the wheel of the invention is provided with a radially inwardly directed groove into its rim-contacting surface near the outboard extremities of the contacting surfaces of the wheel rim and wheel center. A resilient O-ring is seated in the groove prior to setting the wheel center within the wheel rim. The outer rim is then heated so as to thermally expand it to receive the wheel center. When the rim cools it shrinks into tight, intimate contact with the radially outwardly facing surface of the wheel center.
