Definitions

  • the invention relates to the renovation of vehicle wheels involving a sanding of the rim and the wheel or a chemical or brush pickling, followed by a repainting.
  • the usual solution consists in dismantling the tire from the wheel to subject the latter to the operations envisaged, then reassembling the tire on the wheel. This therefore results in a great loss of time and manpower to perform this disassembly and reassembly of the tire.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid disassembly and reassembly of the tire on the wheel by providing a cover which is quick and easy to set up, which connects perfectly to the border between the rim and the tire, and above all which is strong enough to also withstand the sanding or stripping of the rim before painting .
  • the invention consists, using a resistant material, preferably steel sheet, to make a cover of annular shape and substantially frustoconical with a large angle at the top and the smallest diameter of which fits substantially on the outer diameter of the rim of the wheel to be protected, this cover being further produced in the form of a broken ring whose two ends overlap on a certain overlapping sector, with mutual tangential sliding of these ends, allowing adaptation to rim tolerances and the tightening between the rim edge and the tire.
  • a resistant material preferably steel sheet
  • an opening device making it possible to separate the two ends of the broken ring against the proper elasticity of the ring and possibly of a tightening spring, this device preferably comprising a lever articulated on a ends of the ring and pushing the other end through one or two rods hinged on the other end.
  • the outer edge of the cover is curved or bent inward in the form of a rim ensuring the rejection inward of the particles of sand or paint.
  • wheel 1 with its rim 2 which can be either a stamped steel wheel in two welded parts, or a molded wheel of a piece of light alloy.
  • tire 3 which is mounted on this wheel.
  • the cover 4 consists of an annular wall, for example of sheet steel, having substantially a frusto-conical shape at a large angle at the top, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, with an edge inner 5a curved to come and slide between the rim of the rim 2 and the base of the tire 3 at a smaller angle, and an outer rim 5b of rejection whose function will appear subsequently.
  • edges 5a, 5b curved or bent provide the cache good rigidity.
  • This cover 4 is made in the form of a broken ring with its two ends 6 and 7 which overlap in a sector-shaped overlap zone.
  • these two ends 6 and 7 of the ring 4 are preferably thinned, in their inner part intended to come to engage between the rim and the tire, until to half the thickness of the current wall of the rest of the ring.
  • a special cover is provided according to the invention, and the broken shape allows it to adapt to the manufacturing tolerances of the rim and to tighten thereon.
  • a spacing device is provided for opening the diameter of the cover by mutual spacing of its two ends 6 and 7 while fighting against the inherent elasticity of the ring and that of the spring 8.
  • this positive spacing di can advantageously be constituted by a lever 11 articulated at 12 on the end 6 just before the overlapping sector, this lever 11 being for example in cut sheet folded in a U and whose two branches are placed on either side of the wall of the cover.
  • the other end of the lever 11 comprises, on either side of the cover 4, articulations 13 along the same axis for two links 14 also arranged on either side of the cover 4, each of these links 14 being articulated at its other end at 15 on a rivet or bolt passing through the other end 7 of the ring.
  • This articulation 15 may be outside the covering sector, or inside it, as shown. In the latter case, an oblong opening 16 is then provided in the end 6 allowing the free passage of the articulation 15 and ensuring the guiding of the two parts 6 and 7, one relative to the other, in their tangential sliding movement, in a precise way.
  • the spring 8 is hooked, on the one hand, to a lug 9 fixed to the end 7 of the cover 4 and, on the other hand, to the lever 11, so as to pivot the latter in the low position.
  • cover 4 holes such as 17, allowing the attachment of bungee cords passing behind the tire to facilitate the installation and avoid any untimely stalling, this in particular for large diameter wheels.
  • the holes 17 are used for fixing claws 18 with spring 19 passing over the tread to come to hang on the side of the tire opposite to that protected by the cover 4.
  • the wheel and its rim can easily be sanded or pickled by any suitable process to eliminate old paint and defects, the tire being perfectly protected during these operations.
  • the wheel can be painted without spraying onto the tire, always leaving the same cover in place so that it cannot be removed until after painting.
  • the outer edge 5b ensures the rejection towards the inside of the sand and paint particles which cannot thus not reach the tire.
  • the angle at the top of the truncated cone of the cover can vary depending on the shape of the tires, but is preferably greater than 90 °, for example of the order of 120 °. It is because of this large apex angle that the inner edge 5a of the cover must be curved to form at its free end an apex angle of less than 90 ° and preferably less than 60 °.
  • the outer edge 5b is curved or bent so as to make at its free end an apex angle of less than 45 °, preferably an angle between 0 and 30 °.
