Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wheel for vehicles may include a rim coupled to a tire, and a spoke-shaped disc including a spoke and a vent hole, the spoke-shaped disc being coupled to a side surface of the rim to support the rim, in which a coupling zone between the spoke of the spoke-shaped disc and the rim and a coupling zone between a portion of the spoke-shaped disc formed with the vent hole and the rim have a height difference in a wheel axis direction, to allow the spoke-shaped disc to support the rim at an interior and an exterior of the rim.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A wheel for vehicles, comprising: a rim coupled to a tire; and a spoke-shaped disc including a spoke and a vent hole, the spoke-shaped disc being coupled to a side surface of the rim to support the rim, wherein a first coupling zone between the spoke of the spoke-shaped disc and the rim and a second coupling zone between a portion of the spoke-shaped disc formed with the vent hole and the rim have a height difference in a wheel axis direction, to allow the spoke-shaped disc to support the rim at an interior and an exterior of the rim, and wherein the first coupling zone between the spoke of the spoke-shaped disc and the rim and the second coupling zone between the portion of the spoke-shaped disc formed with the vent hole and the rim have a height difference in a radial direction of the spoke-shaped disc. 2. The wheel of claim 1 , wherein an end of the spoke of a peripheral portion of the spoke-shaped disc is coupled to an exterior position of the rim, and a vent hole position end, corresponding to an end of the portion formed with the vent hole, of the peripheral portion of the spoke-shaped disc is coupled to an interior position of the rim. 3. The wheel of claim 2 , wherein the end of the spoke and the portion formed with the vent hole are coupled, via welding, to positions of the rim having a height difference in the wheel axis direction. 4. The wheel of claim 1 , wherein an end of the spoke and the portion formed with the vent hole are coupled, via welding, to positions of the rim having a height difference in the wheel axis direction.
