Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a rim insert system for a rim having at least one opening which forms a rim channel that tapers in a funnel-like manner, and at least one funnel-like rim insert releasably engaged in the opening. The rim insert has a peripheral catch edge which engage behind an internally arranged opening edge of the rim channel in an inserted position. A first catch projection is in abutment with an inclined portion of the opening edge. The inclined portion and the inner face of the rim channel are disposed at an angle of approximately from 200°-240° in cross-section. A second catch projection is substantially diametrically opposed to the first catch projection and engages behind the opening edge in a positive-locking manner. The inner face of the rim channel and the opening edge form an angle of approximately from 270° to 290°.
