Abstract
A wheel includes a rim and a wheel center interconnected to the rim. The wheel center includes at least one spoke extending from a wheel hub to the rim in a radial direction. The rim includes per the at least one spoke a first contact area and the at least one spoke includes at its outer end a second contact area which in a mounted position is aligned to the first contact area. The at least one spoke includes at least one hollow space extending in the radial direction of the spoke.
Claims14
A wheel (1) comprising:
- a. a rim (2) and a wheel center (3) interconnected to the rim (2);
- b. wherein the wheel center (3) comprises at least one spoke (4) extending from a wheel hub (14) to the rim (2) in a radial direction,
- c. wherein the rim (2) comprises per the at least one spoke (4) a first contact area (12), and
- d. the at least one spoke (4) comprises at an outer end a second contact area (13) which in a mounted position is aligned to the first contact area (12),
- e. an intermediate layer (22) arranged between the at least one first and the at least one second contact area (12, 13) preventing at least partially direct contact between the at least one first and the at least one second contact area (12, 13);
- f. wherein the at least one spoke (4) comprises at least one hollow space (15) extending in the radial direction of the spoke (4);
- and
- g. wherein the at least one hollow space (15) penetrates the second contact area forming a mouth (16), wherein at least one connection element (24) interconnects the at least one first and the at least one second contact area (12, 13) wherein the connection element (24) protrudes from the at least one intermediate layer (22).
