20090039696 | COMBINATION WHEEL AND VALVE ASSEMBLY - A combination wheel and valve assembly has a plurality of spokes each having at least one aperture through a rim-end thereof. A rim has an inner surface and a spoke mating element opposite the inner surface. A plurality of through-holes extend through the spoke mating element of the rim. A plurality of bolts are shaped to fit through the aperture of the rim-end of each of the spokes, and into one of the plurality of through-holes of the spoke mating element, to fasten each spoke to the rim. A conduit extends through the inner surface of the rim to one of the through-holes of the rim, such that a valve assembly can extend through the aperture of one of the spokes and engage the through-hole having the conduit, thereby enabling fluid flow through the valve assembly and the conduit to the inner surface of the rim. | 02-12-2009 |

20110204705 | DEVICE FOR CONNECTING A TIRE OF AN AIRCRAFT WHEEL TO A PNEUMATIC UNIT OF THE AIRCRAFT - A device for selectively connecting a tire to a pneumatic unit of an aircraft, the tire forming part of a wheel mounted to rotate on a hollow axle of the aircraft, the device comprising a stator and a rotor that is mounted to rotate relative to the stator and that includes means enabling it to be rotated by the wheel. The stator is bell-shaped and is designed to be received as a push-fit in the axle, and includes an end wall carrying a first pneumatic port for connection to the pneumatic unit via a tube running along the inside of the axle, the rotor extending substantially inside the stator. | 08-25-2011 |
20110221261 | VEHICLE WHEEL ASSEMBLIES AND VALVES FOR USE WITH A CENTRAL TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM - Wheel assemblies and valves for use with central tire inflation systems are provided. A wheel assembly may include a wheel having a rim and a wall extending radially inwardly from the rim. The wall may include an inboard side and an outboard side, and a central opening therethrough. The wheel may include a wheel duct for communicating pressurized fluid to a tire. A valve may be secured to the wheel wall. The valve may include an inboard side and an outboard side. The valve may include a hub interface adapted to extend from its inboard side. The hub interface may be adapted to extend around the wheel wall. The valve may include an inlet duct opening on the hub interface to communicate with a duct in a wheel hub on which the wheel is mounted. The valve may also include an outlet duct configured to communicate with the wheel duct. | 09-15-2011 |
20120146392 | AUTOMOTIVE WHEEL - In an automotive wheel, a well recessed portion that is recessed in the back-side direction along a well bottom portion forming a well of a wheel rim is formed at a portion of a back-side well wall portion of the well opposite a valve hole. Thus, vibration generated by the centrifugal force of an air valve with a pneumatic pressure detection device while an automobile is running can be suppressed by the effect due to the shape of the well recessed portion, and the operation stability, the riding comfort, and so forth of the automobile can be improved. In another automotive wheel, a well recessed portion that is recessed in the surface-side direction along a well bottom portion forming a well of a wheel rim is formed at a portion of a surface-side well wall portion forming the well at which a valve hole is formed such that a surface-side portion of a pneumatic pressure detection device of an air valve with a pneumatic pressure detection device is fitted in the well recessed portion. Also in this case, the same effect can be achieved. | 06-14-2012 |
20140028080 | WHEEL BEARING ARRANGEMENT, IN PARTICULAR WHEEL BEARING ARRANGEMENT FOR UTILITY VEHICLES - A wheel bearing arrangement, in particular wheel bearing arrangement for utility vehicles, comprising a hollow body unit, a securing unit and a stator unit, wherein the hollow body unit has a maximum extent in an axial direction, a pressure space extending substantially in the axial direction, and an end section, wherein the securing unit is secured to the end section, wherein the stator unit is secured to the securing unit, and wherein the stator unit has attachment and sealing means, by means of which a rotor unit can be made to bear against the wheel bearing arrangement in a way which is air-tight and rotatable relative to the stator unit. | 01-30-2014 |
20140132057 | VALVE DEVICE FOR TUBELESS TIRE - A wheel rim device includes a rim member having a bridge extending between two side walls, and a valve device having a valve stem engaged with the bridge and having a sealing member attached to the valve stem for engaging with the bridge and for anchoring the valve stem to the bridge of the rim member and for making an air tight seal between the valve stem and the rim member, and the sealing member includes a casing engaged onto the valve stem and engaged in the space of the bridge and engaged between the valve stem and the bridge for making the air tight seal between the valve stem and the rim member. | 05-15-2014 |
