  • Patent number: 11565546
    Abstract: An example wheel assembly includes a wheel hub including a first bore having a first central axis, and a wheel including a second bore having a second central axis. The first central axis is offset from the second central axis. The example wheel assembly includes a wheel stud extending through the first bore and the second bore to couple the wheel and the wheel hub. The wheel stud has a first portion proximate to the first bore and a second portion proximate to the second bore. The example wheel assembly includes a wheel nut threaded onto the wheel stud. The first portion of the wheel stud is to move from a first position relative to an axis of rotation of the wheel hub to a second position relative to the axis of rotation when the wheel nut is tightened to fix the wheel to the wheel hub.

  • Publication number: 20200198393
    Abstract: An example wheel assembly includes a wheel hub including a first bore having a first central axis, and a wheel rim including a second bore having a second central axis. The first central axis is offset from the second central axis. The example wheel assembly includes a wheel stud extending through the first bore and the second bore to couple the wheel rim and the wheel hub. The wheel stud has a first portion proximate to the first bore and a second portion proximate to the second bore. The example wheel assembly includes a wheel nut threaded onto the wheel stud. The first portion of the wheel stud is to move from a first position relative to an axis of rotation of the wheel hub to a second position relative to the axis of rotation when the wheel nut is tightened to fix the wheel rim to the wheel hub.

  • Patent number: 9422967
    Abstract: A wheel stud includes a fixing segment, which has a first external thread, and a receiving segment, which has a second external thread. Here, the first external thread runs opposite in direction to the second external thread. More particularly, the wheel stud is configured to be connected to a wheel hub through the fixing segment, where the wheel hub includes at least one receiver bore having an internal thread corresponding to the first external thread.
