301600910 | Having vibration damper or heat insulator | 6 |
20090108665 | Elastic Wheel - An elastic wheel comprises a circumferentially extending rim for supporting a tire, a disk fixed to an axle, a damper member disposed between the rim and the disk and made of elastic material for absorbing vibration, and a protecting member made of elastic material and covering the damper member. | 04-30-2009 |
20090134694 | TIRE NOISE REDUCING SYSTEM - A tire noise reducing system comprises a wheel rim, a pneumatic tire and a noise damper disposed in the tire cavity and made from a spongy material whose total volume is in a range of from 0.4 to 20% of a volume of the tire cavity. The maximum thickness of the damper between the base end surface and the top end surface is in a range of from 1.0 to 4.5 cm. The width of the base end surface is more than the maximum thickness. The width of the damper is not increased in the direction from the base end surface to the top end surface, and each of side faces defined as extending from the edges of the base end surface to the edges of the top end surface is at least partially provided with an aslant portion inclined at an angle theta of from 30 to 75 degrees with respect to the base end surface. The damper is preferably fixed to the inside of a tread portion of the tire. | 05-28-2009 |
20100127558 | MOTOR-VEHICLE WHEEL STRUCTURE - A motor-vehicle wheel structure comprises a wheel rim and a wheel disk having a circumferential border bent and welded within the wheel rim, and a central portion bearing a circumferential series of holes for engagement of bolts for fixing the wheel to the wheel support. The central portion is radiused to the circumferential border of the disk by means of an intermediate annular portion having in cross section an arched configuration projecting outwards. The intermediate annular portion has a plurality of embossed portions projecting outwards, configured in such a way as to define a plurality of spokes set at the same angular distance apart from one another. | 05-27-2010 |
20100194179 | THERMAL MANAGEMENT COMPOSITE HEAT SHIELD - A thermal management system and methods for use are disclosed. The thermal management system comprises a shield portion and a dissipation portion. The shield portion may comprise a hot side skin, a conduction layer, an insulation layer, and a cool side skin. The dissipation portion may comprise a fin array. Heat absorbed by the shield portion is partially or fully conducted to the dissipation portion for transfer to the ambient environment. The thermal management system may be employed as an aircraft wheel heat shield, an automotive brake heat shield, a gas turbine heat shield, an electronic heat sink, and in various other applications where heat shielding and/or heat transfer are desirable. | 08-05-2010 |
20130015697 | WHEEL ASSEMBLY HEAT SHIELDAANM Hall; John M.AACI UniontownAAST OHAACO USAAGP Hall; John M. Uniontown OH USAANM Burley; William J.AACI BarbertonAAST OHAACO USAAGP Burley; William J. Barberton OH USAANM Dyko; Mark P.AACI CopleyAAST OHAACO USAAGP Dyko; Mark P. Copley OH USAANM Burkhalter; KurtAACI AkronAAST OHAACO USAAGP Burkhalter; Kurt Akron OH US - A heat shield segment includes at least one tab extending from an outboard end, the tab adapted to secure the heat shield segment against radial and axial movement. The at least one tab is received over a retaining ring positioned within a tube well of a wheel. The retaining ring is received in recesses formed in the inner surface of drive keys spaced around the interior of the tube well. The heat shield segment is secured at the inboard end by a fastener, and is spaced from the tube well by a spacer positioned between the heat shield segment and the tube well. The at least one tab of the heat shield segment allows for easy assembly and maintenance of the heat shield assembly formed by a plurality of the heat shield segments. | 01-17-2013 |
20140319901 | VEHICLE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY WITH INSULATING MEMBER - A tire and wheel assembly includes a wheel that has a rim. The wheel has a first thermal conductivity. A tire is attached to the wheel to define an annular tire cavity enclosed by the tire and the rim. An insulating member is on the rim within the tire cavity. The insulating member has a second thermal conductivity lower than the first thermal conductivity and is configured to absorb heat from the cavity when a temperature of the cavity is above a first predetermined temperature. The insulating member is also configured to release the absorbed heat back to the cavity when the temperature of the cavity is below a second predetermined temperature lower than the first predetermined temperature. | 10-30-2014 |
