  • Patent number: 11370247
    Abstract: An automobile hub with a hollow rim includes a wheel disc and the rim with at least one hollow cavity, in which the rim includes at least two mutually nested rings and an axial end cap at the same ends of the at least two rings, and the hollow cavity consists of the rings and the axial end cap. The outer side of one end of the wheel disc includes axial rim mounting grooves, and the rim is inserted into the rim mounting grooves and fixed to the wheel disc through the end without the axial end cap. By employing the automobile hub with the hollow rim, the hub assembling method, and the automobile having the hub, the weight of the hub can be further reduced, and the hub has sufficient strength.

  • Patent number: 8578607
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of designing spokes of a non-pneumatic tire which randomly arranges spokes around a circumference to optimize noise dispersion. The method of designing spokes of a non-pneumatic tire includes placing a plurality of spokes (2) holding and supporting a tread (1) to be radially installed around a circumference of the tire on a circular spoke support (3) under the tread (1) to be in contact with the ground, wherein the spokes (2) are arranged at three angles on the circular spoke support (3) around the circumference of the tire, the three angles being divided into a small angle (a), a medium angle (b) and a large angle (c), and the spokes (2) are arranged at irregular angles under a condition that a ratio (q) of the large angle (c) to the small angle (a) is greater than a ratio (p) of the medium angle (b) to the small angle (a).

  • Patent number: 7866045
    Abstract: A method intended for manufacturing a bicycle spoked wheel is described. By inserting the nipples or barrels for the attachment of the spokes in the spoke attachment seats from the inside of the spoke attachment chamber through a suitably sized opening, instead of from the outside, the rim of the bicycle wheel can be manufactured without additional openings, even when using conventional nipples or barrels.
