  • Vehicle wheel and Helmholtz resonator
    Patent number: 11584159
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel has a Helmholtz resonator (sub-air chamber member) mounted thereon with an adhesive material, and a thickness of the adhesive material on a part (adhesive strength increasing part) of the Helmholtz resonator on which centrifugal force acts strongly during rotation of the wheel is set to be thicker than a thickness of the adhesive material on other parts (regular part) of the Helmholtz resonator. When the thickness of the adhesive material is increased, peel strength of the adhesive material is enhanced accordingly.

  • Vehicle wheel
    Patent number: 11440345
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel includes a pair of vertical walls that extend vertically up from an outer circumferential surface of a well portion and extend in a wheel circumferential direction and a Helmholtz resonator that is disposed between the pair of vertical walls and bonded to side surfaces of the pair of vertical walls with an adhesive, in which the Helmholtz resonator is not bonded to the outer circumferential surface of the well portion.

  • Vehicle wheel
    Patent number: 11338743
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel includes: a pair of vertical walls that are provided upright on an outer circumferential surface of a well portion and extend in a circumferential direction; and a sub air chamber member that is provided between the pair of vertical walls to be held by frictional force generated between the sub air chamber member and the pair of vertical walls and includes an extending wall portion.

  • Vehicle tire-wheel assembly
    Patent number: 11104188
    Abstract: A vehicle tire-wheel assembly includes: a wheel main body; a Helmholtz resonator provided on an outer peripheral surface of a well portion of the wheel main body; a tire attached to an outer peripheral surface of the wheel main body so that the tire covers the Helmholtz resonator; and a separation restraining part which, in cooperation with the tire, restrains the Helmholtz resonator from separating from the outer peripheral surface of the well portion.

  • VEHICLE WHEEL
    Publication number: 20190366764
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel includes a rim having an outer circumferential wall on a tire air chamber and a Helmholtz resonator having an auxiliary air chamber. The Helmholtz resonator is disposed in a space on an inner circumferential side of a bead sheet and the auxiliary air chamber is in communication with the tire air chamber through a through-hole penetrating through the rim.
