Abstract
A wheel having a hub and a circular ring is provided. The circular ring has a central axis, an outer surface having a first outer edge and a second outer edge, and a plurality of holes disposed on the outer surface. Additionally, the wheel has a plurality of spokes each being adapted to attach to both the hub and the circular ring, and each of the plurality of spokes being concaved and arranged in an alternating pattern. A plurality of lugs is disposed on the outer surface of the circular ring, and each of plurality of lugs has a first leg and a second leg, each extending from a center rib and a lug plate adapted to connect the first leg to the center rib.
Claims19
A wheel comprising:
- a circular ring having:
- a central axis, an outer surface having a first outer edge and a second outer edge, and a plurality of holes disposed on the outer surface;
- a plurality of spokes each having:
- a concaved surface, a bottom end, and a top end;
- each bottom end being adapted to attach to a hub, the hub being aligned with the central axis and having a first side and a second side, each top end being adapted to attach to the circular ring, and each of the plurality of spokes being concaved and arranged in an alternating pattern, wherein the top end of each of the plurality of spokes is attached alternately to the first outer edge or the second outer edge of the circular ring and the bottom end of each of the plurality of spokes is attached alternately to the first side or the second side of the hub;
- wherein a first width of the bottom end is smaller than a second width of the top end;
- a plurality of lugs having:
- a first leg and a second leg, each extending from a center rib and a lug plate adapted to connect the first leg to the center rib;
- wherein the plurality of lugs is disposed on the outer surface of the circular ring;
- wherein the center ribs of the plurality of lugs form a sinusoidal pattern.
