Description

[0001] The invention relates to a rim according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] The invention disclosed here relates to a rim with a tire, which rim comprises a first rim part and a second rim part. When viewed perpendicular to the rim, the rim parts have a cross-section suitable for a circular tire, usually also circular. The first rim part comprises a concentrically arranged first opening. The second rim part comprises a concentrically arranged second opening. The openings serve to rotatably mount the rim parts about a wheel axle.

[0003] The rim parts can be joined together such that a single wheel axle extends through the first opening and through the second opening. The rim parts can be arranged at a rim distance greater than or equal to zero, measured in the direction of the wheel axis.

[0004] The rim parts can be moved relative to each other along the wheel axis, provided that the relative movement to each other is not blocked by a locking element described below.

[0005] DE7834277U1 discloses a two-piece rim with a bayonet lock. This bayonet lock is arranged in a plane of the rim parallel to the tread. This arrangement is disadvantageous for the user because the user cannot check the proper connection via the closed bayonet lock.

[0006] US2219156 does not disclose a projection with a locking element arranged between the free and closed end of the projection (see, among others, Fig. 4 of US2219156). Furthermore, in US2219156, the locking element 14 of the first rim part is arranged on the applied side of the second rim part and not in a locking element recess of a spoke of the second rim part by relative rotation of the rim parts.

[0007] US20100107946 does not disclose projections with locking elements, which locking elements are each arranged between the connected end and the free end of the projection.

[0008] In DE20118566, Fig. Figure 2 shows that the projections 332, 331 of one rim part 31 and the projections 341, 342 of the rim ring 32 are arranged in the tire. All projections are arranged in the rim flanges 314, 322 and thus cannot be inserted into recesses formed by the spokes.

[0009] US20170274989 does not disclose a projection with a locking element arranged between the free and closed end of the projection (see, among others, Fig. 4 of US20170274989). In US20170274989, it is not arranged in a locking element recess of a spoke of the second rim part by relative rotation of the rim parts.

[0010] US1541445, Fig. 2 shows a projection and a locking element which are arranged in the rim and thus not in the spoke area.

[0011] The invention disclosed here has the first task of making the rim parts interchangeable.

[0012] According to the invention, this first object is achieved by claim 1.

[0013] According to the invention, this is achieved by the first rim part comprises at least one projection extending in the direction of the wheel axis in a first spoke area, which projection can be inserted into a recess in the second rim part, wherein the projection comprises a locking element at the free end or between the free end and the connected end of the projection, which locking element can be brought into engagement with the second rim part.

[0014] The projection is located in the spoke area and / or in the rim flange and / or rim flank. The spoke area, especially the outer spoke area, is visible to the user. The user can check whether the connection established by the locking element inserted into the recess has been released.

[0015] The projection connected to the first rim part comprises a free end and a connected end, at which connected end the projection is connected to the rim part.

[0016] The connection created by inserting the locking element into the recess is detachable. The user can make the connection non-detachable, for example, by gluing the locking element into the recess. The locking element can be secured against opening.

[0017] The rim according to the invention can be characterized in that the projection extends radially or tangentially to the first wheel axis.

[0018] The projection may be in the shape of a cuboid. The cuboid may protrude from a spoke surface defined by the spokes and extend in a radial or tangential and longitudinal direction to the wheel axis.

[0019] The projection may extend from the rim flank or from the rim flange in the radial or tangential direction and in the longitudinal direction to the first wheel axis.

[0020] The projection is oriented projecting toward the second rim part in order to be inserted into a recess arranged in the second rim part.

[0021] The recess is designed so that the projection and the locking element can be inserted into the recess.

[0022] The locking element can be a separate element. The locking element can be formed integrally with the projection.

[0023] The rim according to the invention is characterized in that the locking element arranged at the free end of the projection or between the free end and the connected end of the projection can be brought into engagement with the second rim element by rotating the first rim element about the wheel axis and relative to the second rim element.

[0024] In the following description of the figures, a possible embodiment of the design of the projection and the locking element as well as the recess is discussed.

[0025] The rim according to the invention can be characterized in that the projection can be introduced into a recess defined by one spoke or by two spokes.

[0026] The recess can be formed in a spoke. The hollow space between two spokes can be considered a recess.

[0027] The rim according to the invention is characterized in that the locking element can be introduced into a locking element recess arranged in a spoke of the second rim part.

[0028] The invention disclosed here also addresses the second problem of being able to replace a solid rubber tire. According to the prior art, solid rubber tires for kickboards and similar vehicles have very low elasticity and therefore cannot be slipped onto a rim. A tire according to the prior art is sprayed or cast onto existing one-piece rims. A worn or no longer usable tire results in the disposal of the inseparable combination of rim and wheel, manufactured according to the prior art. In particular, recycling is not possible because a wheel and wheel rim combination comprises multiple materials.

[0029] The rim parts can be pressed against each other by inserting the locking element into the locking element recess. For example, the locking element can comprise a first contact surface arranged at right angles to the wheel axis, and the locking element recess can comprise a second contact surface inclined to the wheel axis (or vice versa), so that inserting the locking element into the locking element recess generates an increasing preload force, with which preload force the rim parts are pressed against each other.

[0030] The locking element and the locking element recess can have a releasable snap-in connection. By inserting the locking element into the locking element recess, the locking element is snapped into the locking element recess.

[0031] The invention disclosed here has the object of making a tire removable from the rim so that only the worn tire can be replaced by a new tire.

[0032] The rim according to the invention can be characterized in that the rim parts comprise a first tire clamping surface and a second tire clamping surface, wherein the tire is held or clamped by the tire clamping surfaces.

[0033] As explained above, the rim according to the invention comprises at least two rim parts, which are connected by a detachable connection. An intermediate element can be arranged between the rim parts. The connected rim parts hold the tire in a form-fitting and / or clamping manner. By releasing the connection holding the rim parts and moving the rim parts apart, the worn tire can be replaced with a new one. The rim according to the invention can then be reassembled.

[0034] The rim according to the invention can be characterized in that the tire clamping surfaces are formed so as to be mirror-symmetrical to a mirror axis, which mirror axis is oriented at a right angle to the wheel axis.

[0035] The rim according to the invention can be characterized in that a further locking element prevents rotation of the first rim element relative to the second rim element.

[0036] The rim according to the invention can be characterized in that the tire comprises at least one tire recess and at least one rim part comprises at least one tire receiving projection, which tire receiving projection is brought into engagement with the tire recess.

[0037] The tire recess and the tire receiving projection serve to further accommodate the tire by at least one rim part. The tire recess can be formed as radially extending recesses in the tire wall, into which tire recesses, likewise radially formed tire receiving projections, are inserted. Advantageously, the tire comprises at least one tire recess on both sides contacting the rim parts, and tire receiving projections that match the rim parts.

[0038] The invention further relates to the arrangement of a light source such as an LED in or on the rim.

[0039] State-of-the-art rims with LED lights are becoming increasingly popular, especially for children's rides like scooters, kickboards, etc. The light can be switched on when a rim rotates and off when the rim is stationary, indicating the rim's rotation to the child.

[0040] According to the current state of the art, rims are at least integrally formed with the light source. It is not possible to separate a defective light source from the rim, for example.

[0041] The invention disclosed here addresses the problem of removably arranging an LED in or on the rim. This problem can also be solved independently of the mechanical connection of the rim parts described above by the following invention.

[0042] The first solution provides that at least one rim part includes an LED element.

[0043] A rim part can be designed as an LED element.

[0044] The second solution provides for an LED element to be arranged between the first rim part and the second rim part.

[0045] The LED element is held directly or indirectly by the rim parts. With indirect support, another element, such as a tire, is positioned between the rim part and the LED element.

[0046] At least one rim element may comprise a recess or a projection on its surface facing the LED element for releasably supporting the LED element.

[0047] The third solution involves arranging an LED element on the outside of a rim part.

[0048] The rim part may include a recess or a projection for releasably mounting the LED.

[0049] The three solutions mentioned above can be distinguished by the fact that the LED is located within a tire held by the rim components. This has the advantage that the LED is protected by the tire.

[0050] An LED is mentioned here as an example of a light source because the use of an LED is advantageous compared to other electrical light sources. However, the invention in no way excludes the use of other electrical light sources such as incandescent bulbs, etc.

[0051] The LED element can be connected to at least one rim part directly or indirectly, and thus via another element. Depending on the proposed solution, the connection can be detachable or non-detachable. The connection can be established via a mechanical fastener or an adhesive fastener. A non-detachable connection between at least one rim part and the LED element can, for example, be such that the LED element and the rim part are formed as a single piece. A one-piece design of the LED element and the rim part can, for example, be such that the LED element and the rim part are manufactured as a single injection-molded element.

[0052] An LED element comprises an LED as the light source and a generator or a battery as the power source. The current can be transmitted from the battery to the LED, in particular, via the movement of a wheel rim component. A generator can, for example, be driven by the relative movement between the wheel axle and a wheel rim component. A generator can only supply power to the LED when there is relative movement between the wheel axle and a wheel rim component.

[0053] One LED element or several individual LED elements can be arranged so that light is emitted in a radial direction toward the rim element or the wheel axle. The emitted light can, for example, be transmitted through a tire into the environment.

[0054] An LED that emits light in a longitudinal direction can emit the light directly or indirectly via a rim part to the environment.

[0055] The LED element can comprise several LEDs arranged on a strip. The strip can extend around at least one rim part or the wheel axle at a distance from the strip.

[0056] The rim according to the invention can be characterized in that at least one rim part or another element is made of a translucent material, which further part is arranged in the rim.

[0057] A portion of the light emitted by the LED can be transmitted to the surrounding area via a portion of the rim. Partial amounts of the light can be transmitted via different portions. According to current theory, this allows the light to display a pattern on the rim.

[0058] A translucent element with light-focusing or light-scattering properties, such as a crystal or a lens, can be arranged in the rim to emit the light within the rim or to the surroundings.

[0059] The rim can be designed according to the features of the dependent claims. The invention is further explained with reference to the following embodiments shown in the figures: Fig. 1 shows an exploded view of an embodiment of the rim according to the invention, Fig. 2 shows another view of the Fig. 1 shown rim, Fig. 3 shows an exploded view of another embodiment, Fig. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the Fig. 3 shown embodiment.

[0062] For the sake of clarity, not all reference symbols are always included in the figures. Likewise, not all elements of a figure are always provided with a reference symbol.

[0063] To Fig. 1, Fig. 2: The Fig. 1 shows a rim with a tire 1. The rim comprises a first rim part 2 and a second rim part 3. The Fig. 2 shows a view of the second rim part 3.

[0064] The first rim part 2 has a circular first surface extension, which surface extension is oriented at an angle of 90 degrees to the one wheel axle 4. The second rim part 3 has a similarly circular second surface extension, which second surface extension is oriented at an angle of 90 degrees to the wheel axle 4. The wheel axle 4 extends through a first opening 5 arranged in the center of the first rim part 2 and a second opening 6 arranged in the center of the second rim part 3.

[0065] The first rim part 2 is rotatably mounted on the wheel axle 4 through the first opening 5 and the second rim part 3 is rotatably mounted on the wheel axle 4 through the second opening 6.

[0066] The first rim part 2 and the second rim part 3 can be arranged at a rim spacing 7. The rim spacing 7 can be changed - if the rim parts 2, 3 are not connected vertically - by the possible displacement of the rim parts 2, 3 relative to each other. The rim spacing 7 in the Fig. 1 is entered symbolically. The rim distance 7 can be zero when rim parts 2 and 3 are joined together.

[0067] The first rim part 2 comprises at least one projection 8 extending in the direction of the wheel axle 4. The projection 8 is arranged on the side of the first rim part 2 which faces the second rim part 3.

[0068] The second rim part 3 includes a recess 9 in the second surface extension. The recess 9 is designed such that the projection 8 can be inserted into the recess 9.

[0069] The Fig. The embodiment shown in Figure 1 comprises a plurality of projections 8 and a plurality of recesses 9. In order to maintain clarity of the figures, only a selection of the projections 8 and the recesses 9 are identified by a reference numeral.

[0070] A locking element 11 is arranged between the free end 10 and the connected end of the projection 8.

[0071] The Fig. The embodiment shown in Fig. 1 is designed such that the locking element 11 is brought into engagement with the second rim part 3 on the side of the second rim element 3, which side is arranged towards the first rim element 2.

[0072] At the Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the locking element 11 is arranged by inserting the projection 8 into the recess 9 on the side of the second rim part 3 facing away from the first rim part 2. By rotating the first rim part 2 about the wheel axis 4 (here, for example, clockwise) and relative to the second rim part 3, the locking element 11 can be brought into engagement with the second rim part 3. The locking element 11 thus positioned extends parallel to the side of the second rim part 3 facing away from the first rim part 2 and thus establishes a connection between the first rim part 2 and the second rim part 3. This connection prevents movement of the rim parts 2, 3 relative to one another and in the direction of the wheel axis 4.

[0073] The Fig. The embodiment illustrated in Figure 1 advantageously comprises a plurality of projections 8. Each projection 8 is arranged to protrude from the side of the first rim part 2 facing the second rim part 3. The projections 8 are arranged radially around the wheel axis 4 on the side of the first rim part 3 facing the second rim part 3.

[0074] Each projection 8 of the first rim part 2 is assigned a matching recess 9 in the second rim part 3. Due to the advantageous design of the projections 8 and the recesses 9 with identical cross-sections, as shown here, each projection 8 can be inserted into each recess 9.

[0075] The recess 9 can be formed as such in a second rim part 3 designed as a disc or in a spoke of the second rim part 3. The Fig. 1 shows an embodiment with an attractive design, in which embodiment the recess 9 is formed as a recess defined by two adjacent spokes.

[0076] It is mentioned above that the locking element 11 is positioned on a side of the second rim part 3 facing away from the first rim part 2. This side, with which the locking element 11 is brought into engagement with a locking element surface, is specifically formed as a locking element recess 12 in a spoke of the second rim part 3.

[0077] The above description of the figures relates to the first task of the invention.

[0078] To solve the second problem, the rim parts 2, 3 comprise a first tire clamping surface 13 and a second tire clamping surface 14. The tire 1 is held by the tire clamping surfaces 13, 14 or held clamped after a preload force is applied. The tire 1 is received by the rim parts 2, 3 by bringing the rim parts 2, 3 together (see arrows 15) and connecting the rim parts 2, 3 by the locking element 11. The tire 1 and the rim parts 2, 3 are thereby mounted so as to be rotatable relative to the wheel axle 4 and about the wheel axle 4. For this purpose, the combination of rim parts 2, 3 and tire 1 can be slipped onto the wheel axle 4.

[0079] The aforementioned combination can also be removed from the wheel axle 4. The connection between the rim parts 2 and 3 can be loosened, thus releasing the tire 1 from the rim parts 2 and 3. In this way, a worn tire can be removed and replaced with a new one.

[0080] The tire 1 is not deformed or only slightly deformed during the creation of the mount by the rim parts—apart from any clamping. This allows for the mounting of a tire 1 with a high degree of rigidity, which is common, for example, in scooters, inline skates, kickboards, and the like.

[0081] The tire clamping surfaces 13, 14 can be designed to be mirror-symmetrical to a mirror axis 16 or mirror surface, which mirror axis 16 is oriented at a right angle to the wheel axis 4.

[0082] The rim parts 2, 3 advantageously comprise an additional locking element 19, which prevents rotation of the first rim element relative to the second rim element. The connection between the rim parts 2, 3 is secured by the additional locking element 19.

[0083] To Fig. 3: The Fig. 3 shows an exploded view of a further embodiment of the combination of rim and tire 1 according to the invention. In addition to the features of the Fig. 1 and in the Fig. 2 and described above, comprises in the embodiment shown in the Fig. 3, the tire 1 has at least one tire recess 17 and at least one rim part 2, 3 has a tire receiving projection 18, which tire receiving projection 18 is engaged with the tire recess 17. The tire 1 is held by the tire recess 17 and the tire receiving projection 18 in addition to the means described above. Fig. The embodiment shown in Figure 3 advantageously comprises a plurality of tire recesses 17 arranged radially on the tire 1 and tire receiving projections 18 arranged radially on the rim parts 2, 3.

[0084] To Fig. 4: The Fig. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the Fig. 3 shown embodiment.

[0085] To Fig. 5: The Fig. Figure 5 shows an exploded view of a first embodiment of the invention. Fig. 5 shows a rim with a tire 1, a first rim part 2 and a second rim part 3. The rim parts 2, 3 comprise a first opening 5 and a second opening 6 respectively for rotatably supporting the rim parts 2, 3 about a wheel axle 4. The wheel axle 4 is in the Fig. 5 is only symbolically shown in the form of a dotted line.

[0086] The rim parts 2, 3 are arranged at a variable rim distance 7 to form a single wheel axle 4. The rim distance 7 can be changed by assembling the rim parts 2, 3 to form a rim.

[0087] The rim comprises an LED element 19 which is arranged between the first rim part 2 and the second rim part 3 and is held thereby.

[0088] The Fig. Figure 5 shows the special case in which the first rim part 2 and the second rim part 3 comprise a first recess 20 and a second recess 21, respectively, for releasably supporting the LED element 19. It is also conceivable for only one rim part 2, 3 to comprise such a recess 20, 21 or, equivalently, a projection for releasably supporting the LED element 19. The recesses 19, 20 or, equivalently, the projections advantageously have a shape adapted to the LED element 19, so that the LED element 19 is held by a positive fit. A clamping mount is also conceivable, with or without recesses 20, 21 or projections, provided that the clamping force does not place excessive stress on the LED element.

[0089] In addition to or as an alternative to the form fit, the person skilled in the art also knows further adhesive or mechanical connection methods for the detachable arrangement of the LED element 19 on or in the first rim part 2 and / or second rim part 3.

[0090] The LED element 19 comprises a generator 22, with one part of the generator 22 being held by a rim part 2, 3, and another part of the generator 22 being held by the axle 4. A relative movement between a rim part 2, 3 and the axle also moves the parts of the generator 22, and current is generated when the rim rotates. Instead of the generator, a rechargeable battery is also conceivable as a power source, with the current output from the rechargeable battery preferably being connected to an LED 23.

[0091] The LED element 19 further comprises LEDs 23 arranged in the radial direction. The LEDs 23 emit light through the tire 1 when a current is supplied. In the assembled state of the rim, the rim parts 2, 3 and the LED element 19 are arranged within the tire 1. The tire 1 and also the rim parts 2, 3 protect the LED element 19. The rim parts 2, 3 are Fig. 5, can be advantageously connected to one another by a mechanical connecting means 8, 9 and / or by an adhesive connecting means. The rim is formed by joining the rim parts 2, 3 together 15.

[0092] To Fig. 6: The Fig. Figure 6 shows a sectional view of another embodiment of the rim according to the invention. The rim again comprises assemblable rim parts 2, 3, which rim parts 2, 3 form a common wheel axle 4. The wheel axle 4 is again shown as a dotted line.

[0093] An LED element 19 is arranged near the wheel axle 4. The LED element 19 can in turn comprise a generator 22, wherein a part of the generator 22 connected to the wheel axle 4 and another part of the generator 22 connected to a rim part 2, 3 are moved relative to one another by the rotational movement of a rim part 2, 3 relative to the wheel axle 4. The LED is designed as an LED strip 24 that surrounds the wheel axle 4 at a distance, which LED strip 24 emits the light to the environment via a translucent spoke area 28.

[0094] The rim parts 2, 3 are advantageously formed in the spoke area 28 from a glass or other translucent material.

[0095] To Fig. 7: The Fig. 7 shows an exploded view of the LED element 19 from Fig. 6.

[0096] The LED element 19 comprises a generator 22. The generator 22 comprises two parts, which are moved relative to each other to generate current. Such generators are known in the art.

[0097] The LED element 19 further comprises an LED strip 24, which is arranged at a distance around the wheel axle 4. The LED strip 24 contacts and preferably circulates the outer part of the generator 22 in the sense of a compact design. The LED strip 24 here comprises at least one radially arranged LED (in Fig. 7 not shown), which LED emits a light over the spoke area 28 of a rim part 2, 3 made of a translucent material. The Fig. 7 shows the special case that the translucent spoke area 28 is designed as a separate component from the rim parts 2, 3.

[0098] The translucent spoke area 28 can be mounted immovably to the rim parts 2, 3 via a mechanical connection.

[0099] The LED element 19 is arranged between the rim parts 2, 3, 28, as shown in the Fig. 6. The rim parts 2, 3, 28 hold the LED element 19 via a positive fit.

[0100] The Fig. 6 and the Fig. 7 show an arrangement of the LED strip 24 near the wheel axle 4. It is also conceivable that the LED strip is arranged near the tire 1, so that the light is emitted via a translucent tire 1 and / or via the spoke area.

[0101] To Fig. 8: The Fig. 8 shows an exploded view of another embodiment of the rim according to the invention, which embodiment is similar to that shown in Fig. 5. The rim comprises substantially similar elements to the embodiment according to Fig. 5.

[0102] In contrast to the embodiment according to Fig. 5, the first rim part 2 includes the LED element 19. The LED element 19 can be formed integrally with the first rim part 2. The LED element 19 and the first rim part 2 can be manufactured as a single molded part, such as an injection-molded part. The LED element 19 can also be inseparably connected to the first rim part 2 by an adhesive layer or by a mechanical connection.

[0103] To Fig. 9: The Fig. 9 shows an exploded view of another embodiment of the rim according to the invention.

[0104] The Fig. Figure 9 shows a rim with a tire 1 comprising a first rim part 2 and a second rim part 3, which rim parts 2, 3 comprise a first opening 5 and a second opening 6, respectively, for rotatable mounting about a wheel axle 4. The rim parts 2, 3 can be arranged at a variable rim distance 7, forming a single wheel axle 4. An LED element 19 is arranged outside the second rim part 3. The Fig. 9 shows a detachable arrangement of the LED element 19 on the second rim part 3, which detachable arrangement is established by a mechanical connection or an adhesive connection between the LED element 19 and the second rim part 3. A non-detachable connection is also conceivable here.

[0105] The rim further comprises a decorative cover 27 with preferably translucent properties. Light emitted by the LED 23 can thus be transmitted via the decorative cover 27.

[0106] In the embodiments described here, the tire 1 preferably has translucent properties so that a light emitted by the LED 23 is emitted via the tire.

[0107] The character description for Fig. 9 includes a detailed description of the LED element 19, which detailed description is also applicable to the other figure descriptions.

[0108] The figures described above show only one possible mechanical connection form of the rims that can be assembled, which connection form comprises a projection 8 and a recess 9. Other mechanical or adhesive connection forms for connecting the rim parts 2, 3 are also conceivable, which connection forms can be used by a person skilled in the art.

[0109] The figures described above also show a possible connection form of the tire 1 with the rim parts 2, 3. Here, too, other connection forms are conceivable. QUOTES CONTAINED IN THE DESCRIPTION
