Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wheel for a utility vehicle includes a first attaching face with which the wheel is to be attached to a hub of a vehicle body, and a second attaching face with which the wheel inversed in a vehicle width direction is to be attached to the hub. The wheel is structured such that the first attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel, and the second attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset inward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A wheel for a utility vehicle, comprising: a first attaching face configured to attach the wheel to a hub of a vehicle body; a second attaching face configured to attach the wheel inversed in a vehicle width direction to the hub; a first spacer configured to attach the first attaching face to the hub; and a second spacer configured to attach the second attaching face to the hub, wherein the first attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel, wherein the second attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset inward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel. 2. The wheel according to claim 1 , wherein in a first attached state in which the first attaching face attaches the wheel to the hub, an outer end in the vehicle width direction of the wheel lies inside in the vehicle width direction with respect to an outer end in the vehicle width direction of a frame of the vehicle body when viewed in a longitudinal direction, and in a second attached state in which the second attaching face attaches the wheel to the hub, the outer end in the vehicle width direction of the wheel lies outside in the vehicle width direction with respect to the outer end in the vehicle width direction of the frame of the vehicle body when viewed in the longitudinal direction. 3. A wheel for a utility vehicle, comprising: a first attaching face configured to attach the wheel to a hub of a vehicle body; a second attaching face configured to attach the wheel inversed in a vehicle width direction to the hub, wherein the first attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel, wherein the second attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset inward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel, and wherein first hub bolt attaching holes formed on the first attaching face and second hub bolt attaching holes formed on the second attaching face do not respectively align with each other. 4. The wheel according to claim 3 , wherein: in a first attached state in which the first attaching face attaches the wheel to the hub, an outer end in the vehicle width direction of the wheel lies inside in the vehicle width direction with respect to an outer end in the vehicle width direction of a frame of the vehicle body when viewed in a longitudinal direction, and in a second attached state in which the second attaching face attaches the wheel to the hub, the outer end in the vehicle width direction of the wheel lies outside in the vehicle width direction with respect to the outer end in the vehicle width direction of the frame of the vehicle body when viewed in the longitudinal direction.
