Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle wheel rim for use on a motor vehicle, having a wheel rim well ( 1, 29 ), having an inner wheel rim flange ( 7, 30 ) and having an outer wheel rim flange, wherein the wheel rim well ( 1, 29 ) is delimited at its axial end regions by in each case one of the wheel rim flanges ( 7, 30 ), wherein the wheel rim flanges ( 7, 30 ) are formed by a radially encircling wall, said walls extending in each case at a predefinable angle ( 5, 27 ) with respect to the wheel rim well ( 1, 29 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle wheel rim for use on a motor vehicle, having a wheel rim well, an inner wheel rim flange and an outer wheel rim flange, wherein the wheel rim well is delimited at its axial end regions by in each case one of the wheel rim flanges, wherein the wheel rim flanges are formed by a radially encircling wall, said walls extending in each case at a predefinable angle with respect to the wheel rim well, wherein the vehicle wheel rim comprises a C-shaped pocket, wherein the C-shaped pocket is formed at least in part from constituent parts of the wheel rim flange and of the wheel rim well, wherein, in the region situated adjacent to the inner wheel rim flange, the wheel rim well has a thickened portion of material, which is arranged on the surface of the wheel rim well which faces away from the central axis of the wheel rim, and wherein the region of the wheel rim well between the inner wheel rim flange and the thickened portion of material forms a receiving region for a flank of a tire. 2. The vehicle wheel rim as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner wheel rim flange is formed by an upper section, which extends away from the central axis of the wheel rim, starting from the wheel rim well, and by a lower section, which extends in the direction of the central axis, starting from the wheel rim well. 3. The vehicle wheel rim as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lower section of the inner wheel rim flange is formed by a substantially rectilinear continuation of the upper section, wherein the lower section has a subsection angled in the direction of the center of the wheel rim well. 4. The vehicle wheel rim as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the angled subsection of the lower section of the inner wheel rim flange extends substantially parallel to the wheel rim well and forms the C-shaped pocket with the wheel rim well.
