Embodiment Construction

[0052] Referring to FIG. 1 , a perspective view of a prior art composite wheel 100 is shown having a hub 102 , a rim 104 , and an attachment structure including a plurality of spokes 106 connecting the hub 102 to the rim 104 . The hub 102 includes a hub front surface 108 that is recessed below the front surfaces of the spokes 106 .

[0053] The applicant of the present application has previously produced a specialized composite wheel attachment configuration, which is described in International Patent Publication WO2013 / 000009. The construction includes elongated washers designed to distribute clamping pressure over a larger surface, reducing the likelihood of damage to the composite surface due to clamping pressure. The hub 102 in Figure 1 is provided with five elongate washers 110, which were described in the applicant's previous International Patent Publication WO 2013 / 000009.

[0054] Each elongated washer 110 is located within a respective attachment opening 112 extendin...

Abstract

The invention relates to a composite wheel (200) including a hub (202), a rim (204) and a connection structure (206) connecting the hub (202) to the rim (204). The hub (202) has front (208) and rear (209) faces and is formed with one or more mounting formations (216) for, in use, receiving a fastener to mount the hub (202) to a mounting surface of a vehicle. Each mounting formation (216) includesa fastening region (218) recessed into the front face (208) of the hub (202) and includes a fastener aperture (212) defining a passage between the fastening region (218) and the rear face (209) of thehub. Each mounting formation (216) also includes a front-to-fastener ply (224) extending between a front region of the hub and the fastening region (218) for, in use, transferring load between the front region of the hub (202) and the fastening region (218).

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application claims priority to Australian Provisional Patent Application No. 2017903336 filed 18 August 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] This invention relates to composite wheels, and more particularly to improvements in mounting structures on the hub of composite wheels.
