  • Patent number: 4153303
    Abstract: A multipart plastic hub assembly includes a pair of hub members each having an annular inner rim portion, a tire support portion, and a radially extending web portion therebetween. The inner rim of each hub member is notched at circumferentially-spaced intervals therearound in order to facilitate radial flexure thereof and radially inwardly directed detents are positioned on the axial outermost end of each rim portion. A tire of rubber or the like is placed between the two hub members and a center core is inserted through each of the inner rims. The hub members are then brought together in abutting relationship so that the tire is captively retained within the tire support portions and the inwardly directed detents are received in annular grooves formed in the center core adjacent respective ends thereof, to thereby form and retain the integrity of a composite wheel assembly.
