Abstract
A wheel is configured by attaching a rim and a hub mounting part via an attaching portion. The wheel has a pneumatic tire mounted on the rim, and is mounted on the vehicle hub by the hub mounting part. The wheel comprises an air passage that penetrates through the attaching portion and opens on the outer circumferential surface of the rim and the mounting surface of the hub mounting part. The wheel also comprises a plurality of air passages that are mutually independent.
Claims28
A wheel, formed by attaching a rim and a hub mounting part via an attaching portion, having a pneumatic tire mounted on the rim, and mounted on a vehicle by the hub mounting part, the wheel comprising
- an air passage that penetrates through the attaching portion and opens on an outer circumferential surface of the rim and a mounting surface of the hub mounting part, the outer circumferential surface of the rim including a flat cylindrical surface portion in an axial direction of the rim, wherein an opening of the air passage on the outer circumferential surface of the rim faces toward the axial direction of the wheel and an inner wall surface of the opening of the air passage is connected to the flat cylindrical surface portion of the rim in a same plane without a step.
A wheel, formed by attaching a rim and a hub mounting part via an attaching portion, having a pneumatic tire mounted on the rim, and mounted on a vehicle by the hub mounting part, the wheel comprising
- an air passage that penetrates through the attaching portion and opens on an outer circumferential surface of the rim and a mounting surface of the hub mounting part, wherein a planar surface of the hub mounting part is configured to mate with a planar surface of a hub, wherein the air passages have a plurality of openings on the outer circumferential surface of the rim, and the plurality of openings have mutually different cross-sectional shapes.
A wheel, formed by attaching a rim and a hub mounting part via an attaching portion, having a pneumatic tire mounted on the rim, and mounted on a vehicle by the hub mounting part, the wheel comprising
- an air passage that penetrates through the attaching portion and opens on an outer circumferential surface of the rim and a mounting surface of the hub mounting part, wherein a planar surface of the hub mounting part is configured to mate with a planar surface of a hub, wherein the air passage opens on the planar surface of the hub mounting part and is positioned to receive air from an air passage in the hub which opens to the planar surface of the hub.
