Abstract
The invention relates to a wheel, especially for motor vehicles, comprising a wheel rim and a wheel disc, the wheel rim having a rim base made of fiber composite material. The invention is characterized in that the wheel disc (3, 11, 20, 29, 40) can be indirectly connected to the wheel rim (1), in particular the rim base (2), by means of a connecting element (5, 14, 22, 31, 35, 42) which is designed and associated with the rim base (2) in such a way that the connected wheel disc (3, 11, 20, 29, 40) is not in contact with the rim base (2).
Claims3
A wheel comprising a wheel rim and a wheel disc, wherein the wheel rim comprises a rim base made of fiber composite material and the wheel disc can be connected to the wheel rim by a connecting element designed and associated with the rim base in such a way that the connected wheel disc is not in contact with the rim base, the connecting element being neither a part of the wheel rim nor a part of the wheel disc, wherein a separation layer is arranged in a connecting area between the connecting element and the wheel disc.
A wheel comprising a wheel rim and a wheel disc, wherein the wheel rim comprises a rim base made of fiber composite material and the wheel disc can be connected to the wheel rim by a connecting element designed and associated with the rim base in such a way that the connected wheel disc is not in contact with the rim base, the connecting element being neither a part of the wheel rim nor a part of the wheel disc, wherein a separation layer is arranged in an area of contact between the rim base and the connecting element, and wherein the separation material consists of a material which has a thermal resistance that is greater than a thermal resistance of the material of the connecting element.
A wheel comprising a wheel rim and a wheel disc, wherein the wheel rim comprises a rim base made of fiber composite material and the wheel disc can be connected to the wheel rim by a connecting element designed and associated with the rim base in such a way that the connected wheel disc is not in contact with the rim base, the connecting element being neither a part of the wheel rim nor a part of the wheel disc, wherein a separation layer is arranged in a connecting area between the connecting element and the wheel disc, and wherein the separation layer consists of a material which has a thermal resistance that is greater than a thermal resistance of the material of the connecting element.
