Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle wheel for a vehicle has a plurality of spokes, lamellac, blades, wheel segments or similar which are arranged on an outer side of the vehicle wheel, a kinematic system, via which the contour of the outer side of the vehicle wheel can be changed, and a slide element which is adjustable between an inner position and an outer position. The spokes, lamellae, blades, wheel segments or similar are hinged on the slide element and are adjustable together with the slide element.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle wheel for a vehicle, comprising: a plurality of components which are disposed on an outer side of the vehicle wheel; a kinematic system, wherein a contour of the outer side of the vehicle wheel is changeable by the kinematic system; and a slide element, wherein the slide element is shiftable between an inner position and an outer position in a direction of an axis of rotation of the vehicle wheel; wherein the plurality of components are hinged to the slide element and are adjustable together with the slide element. 2. The vehicle wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the slide element is shiftable coaxially to the axis of rotation of the vehicle wheel. 3. The vehicle wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components are pivotably mounted on an axis which is fixedly disposed on the vehicle wheel. 4. The vehicle wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the kinematic system comprises at least one centrifugal force actuator and wherein the slide element is shiftable between the inner position and the outer position by the at least one centrifugal force actuator. 5. The vehicle wheel according to claim 1 , wherein when a peripheral speed of the vehicle wheel falls below a specified level, the slide element shifts automatically from the outer position in a direction of the inner position. 6. The vehicle wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components are foldable from the slide element around an axis in a vicinity of a rim flange. 7. The vehicle wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components include spokes, lamellae, blades, or wheel segments. 8. The vehicle wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components include spokes, lamellae, blades, and wheel segments and wherein the wheel segments are surface elements between the spokes, lamellae, or blades.
