  • Publication number: 20220176613
    Abstract: a luggage with composite material integrally formed frame includes a first shell, a second shell, a first frame, and a second frame. The second shell is openably assembled to the first shell. The first frame is integrated with the first shell and is located on the outer edge of the first shell. The second frame is integrally formed with the second shell and located on an outer edge of the second shell. When the first shell and the second shell are closed, the protruding engagement member of the second frame is engaged in the recessed engagement groove of the first frame.

  • Patent number: 9061543
    Abstract: A wheel hub includes a wheel rim and a support. The wheel rim has an inner rim surface, an outer rim surface and a connection concave. The wheel rim is composed of a metallic layer and a carbon fiber layer. The outer rim surface has an outer wall to be the metallic layer. The wheel hub is composed of the metallic layer and the carbon fiber layer. Compared to the conventional wheel hub made of a single metallic material or a carbon fiber material, the wheel hub made of metal and carbon fiber of the present invention is light in weight, endurable, and cost-effective. The outer wall of the outer rim surface of the conventional wheel hub is easily to be damaged by an external force when in use, which result in a break of the carbon fiber to lose the strength of the carbon fiber.
