Abstract
For balancing a wheel, which is formed of a rolled plate having varying thickness, the wheel is provided with a disk which is formed by a rolled plate having varying thickness in the rolling direction, wherein wheel balance is adjusted by radially adjusting the angle between the location of the thick part of the disk and the location of the air valve insertion hole, and the location of the air valve insertion hole certainly accords with the heaviest point by conforming the location of the air valve insertion hole with the location of the thick part of the disk.
Claims11
A wheel having a disk with a graduated transverse thickness from a thick part at one side to a thin part at the opposite side, the wheel including an air valve insertion hole disposed at a predetermined angle location with respect to the thick part of the disk as measured from the center of the disk.
A wheel having a disk with a graduated transverse thickness from a thick part at one side to thin part at the opposite side, wherein the thick part of the disk measured from the center of the disk and a location on the wheel of an air valve insertion hole are overlapped.
A method for manufacturing a wheel in which a rolled plate of varying transverse thickness is used, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming a disk to provide a thick part at one side of the disk to a thin part at the opposite side thereof;
- and
- attaching the disk to a wheel rim in a condition that the thick part of the disk, as measured from the center of the disk, is disposed in predetermined angular relation with respect to an air valve insertion hole in the wheel rim.
A method for manufacturing a wheel in which a rolled plate of varying thickness is used, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming a disk to provide a thick part at one side of the disk to a thin part at the opposite side thereof;
- and
- attaching the disk to a wheel rim in a condition that the location of the thick part of the disk measured from the center of the disk and a location of an air valve insertion hole are overlapped.
A method for adjusting the balance of a wheel having a wheel rim fixed to a disk having a graduated transverse thickness from a thick part at one side of the disk to a thin part on the opposite side thereof, the method including the step that:
- the wheel rim is fixed to the disk in the condition that an air valve insertion hole on the rim is disposed at a predetermined shifted angle from a location of the thick part of the disk as measured from the center of the disk.
A wheel comprising:
- a disk formed by the drawing of a plate obtained from dividing in the rolling direction a rolled plate of graduated transverse thickness from a thick part at one side of the disk to a thin part on the opposite side thereof into a plurality of plates;
- and
- a wheel rim, having an air valve insertion hole, wherein said disk is attached to said wheel rim so that said air valve insertion hole is disposed at a predetermined angle location with respect to the thick part of said disk as measured from the center of the said disk.
A wheel comprising:
- a disk formed by the drawing of a plate obtained from dividing in the rolling direction a rolled plate of varying transverse thickness from a thick part at one side of the disk to a thin part on the opposite side thereof;
- and
- a wheel rim having an air valve insertion hole, wherein said disk is attached to said wheel rim so that the thick part of said disk measured from the center of said disk and a location on said wheel rim of said air valve insertion hole are overlapped.
