  • Publication number: 20230322018
    Abstract: A self-sealing automotive spoke wheel nipple includes a spoke nipple and an elastic gasket. The spoke nipple that mounts the spoke into the rim includes a rotational axis, a head, a shank, and a spoke-engaging opening. The head, the shank, and the spoke-engaging opening are concentrically positioned along the rotational axis. The head is adjacently connected to the shank. The spoke-engaging opening traverses into the shank, opposite of the head so that the spoke can be threadedly engaged to the spoke nipple. The elastic gasket is laterally positioned around a shoulder portion of the shank and positioned adjacently to the head. The elastic gasket creates a hermetic connection between the rim and the spoke nipple as the elastic gasket completely seals the spoke opening of the rim during the installation process.
