Publication number: 20200039286Abstract: A road wheel for a vehicle includes a face portion and a rim portion. The face portion is formed from a metallic alloy and defines a central portion plurality of spokes extending between the central portion and a proximal bead element. The rim portion is formed from a composite material and defines an annular wall circumscribing a wheel axis extending to a distal bead element from said face portion. The proximal bead element is defined by the metallic alloy and the distal bead element is defined by the composite. The face portion and the rim portion are interconnected in interlocking engagement.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2019Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventors: Henry Clay Chenault, III, Parveen Kakar, Miguel Sanchez-Araiza, Henry Lee Renegar

Publication number: 20190233945Abstract: An alloy wheel is formed having a three dimensional configuration defining a face and recessed surfaces. The face of the wheel is machined providing a smooth surface at the face and defining an edge between the smooth surface of the face and the recessed surfaces. A nozzle element for projecting a plasma jet toward the wheel is provided. The plasma jet is projected toward the smooth surface of the face, the edge, and toward at least a portion of the recessed surfaces forming an alloy oxide at least on the face and the edge disposed between the face and the recessed surfaces. A first polymeric coating is applied over the face, the recessed surfaces and the edge disposed between the face and the recessed surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2019Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventors: Parveen Kakar, Henry Clay Chenault, III

Patent number: 10300738Abstract: A cast aluminum wheel includes a rim element having an annular configuration defining an axis and a central element extending radially outwardly between the axis and the rim element. The rim element includes a wall extending circumferentially around the axis between a proximal bead and a distal bead. The central element includes a plurality of spokes extending radially outwardly toward the proximal bead and meets proximate the axis with adjacent of the plurality of spokes defining a cooperative feature therebetween for providing stiffness to the wheel. The spokes progressively increase in volume in a direction toward the axis from the rim element thereby providing increased mass of the spokes proximate the axis relative to the rim element.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Superior Industries International, Inc.Inventors: Henry Clay Chenault, III, Timothy Wayne Hood, Parveen Kakar

Publication number: 20180170096Abstract: A road wheel for a vehicle includes a central portion and a rim portion. The central portion defines a wheel axis and is formed from a first material. The central portion includes a plurality of spokes extending radially outwardly from a lug member defined by the central portion. Each of the spokes is interconnected to a link disposed at a distal end of the spokes. The rim portion is formed from a second material and defines a tubular wall being coaxial with the wheel axis. The rim portion including an interlock configured to receive the link for interconnecting the central portion with the rim portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2017Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Henry Clay Chenault, III, Parveen Kakar
