  • Publication number: 20080231106
    Abstract: A bicycle wheel rim includes an annular rim body having a rim axis, and including left and right annular side walls, a pair of annular oblique walls, an annular base wall, left and right annular connecting walls, and a pair of annular tire-retaining ribs. Each of the left and right annular side walls has a radial outer edge. Each of the oblique walls extends obliquely from a respective one of the side walls toward the other one of the side walls. The base wall interconnects the oblique walls and has a radial outer side. Each of the left and right annular connecting walls extends from the base wall to connect to a respective one of the side walls. A radial distance between the radial outer side of the base wall and the radial outer edges,of the side walls ranges from 8.5 millimeters to 12.5 millimeters.

  • Publication number: 20070278848
    Abstract: A wheel rim includes an annular base wall, annular left and right tire-retaining walls, and an annular reinforcing wall. The annular base wall includes an annular array of first through holes spaced apart from each other. The annular left and right tire-retaining walls are spaced apart from each other, and extend radially and outwardly from the annular base wall. The annular reinforcing wall includes an annular wall portion extending between the left and right tire-retaining walls and spaced apart from the annular base wall, and a plurality of hollow projections aligned radially and respectively with the first through holes. Each of the hollow projections defines a second through hole. Each of the hollow projections is formed as one piece with and projects from the annular wall portion of the annular reinforcing wall.

  • Publication number: 20070069572
    Abstract: A wheel rim is adapted for mounting of a tire thereon, and comprises an annular frame. The annular frame includes two end surfaces abutting against each other, an annular bottom wall, and a pair of annular left and right sidewalls extending respectively, radially, and outwardly from left and right sides of the bottom wall. Two annular flanges extend respectively and axially from radial outer ends of the left and right sidewalls toward each other. Each of the flanges is formed with a first through hole that extends from one of the end surfaces to the other of the end surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7063392
    Abstract: A wheel rim includes two annular sidewalls and a main connecting wall. The main connecting wall has two ends connected respectively and fixedly to radial inner ends of the sidewalls, and opposite radially inner and outer surfaces. The radially inner surface faces the hub, and has two axial surface portions and a middle surface portion that are preferably concaved toward the tire. The radially outer surface has two axial surface portions and a middle portion. The axial surface portions of the radially inner and outer surfaces define two force-bearing areas having a plurality of mounting holes. The middle surface portions of the radially inner and outer surfaces define a weight-reducing area having a thickness smaller than a thickness of the force-bearing areas. The force-bearing areas and the weight-reducing area are arched.

  • Patent number: 7029074
    Abstract: A wheel rim includes a rim body and a plurality of anchor members. The rim body includes annular left and right side walls, an annular connecting wall interconnecting the left and right side walls, and annular left and right confining ribs extending respectively from the radial inner ends of the left and right side walls toward each other to define a mounting space among the left and right side walls, the connecting wall, and the confining ribs. The confining ribs define an opening communicated with the mounting space. The anchor members are disposed fixedly within the mounting space. Each of the anchor members has a bottom wall abutting against the confining ribs and having a first mounting hole which is adapted to permit extension of a respective one of the spoke units therethrough.

  • Patent number: 7029073
    Abstract: A lightweight wheel rim includes a pair of annular side walls, an annular inner wall, and two annular angle elements. The angle elements are disposed respectively at two opposite sides of the inner wall. Each of the angle elements has two opposite sides that are formed respectively and integrally with the inner wall and a radial inner end of a corresponding one of the side walls, and a plurality of alternately arranged mounting portions and dented portions. Each of the mounting portions has a mounting hole for extension of a spoke unit therethrough.

  • Patent number: 6767069
    Abstract: A bicycle wheel rim includes an annular rim body having left and right annular tire retaining walls with inner edges connected to left and right edges of an annular spoke mounting wall. Each of a pair of annular corner reinforcing members is formed integrally with the rim body at a junction of a corresponding one of the left and right edges of the spoke mounting wall with the inner edge of a respective one of the tire retaining walls. Each of the corner reinforcing members extends laterally outward relative to the respective one of the tire retaining walls, and further extends radially inward relative to the spoke mounting wall.
