Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention has the effect of maintaining the appearance and further enhancing the decorativeness of the wheels used for automobiles and motorcycles, especially the aluminum wheels used when the appearance is important, by attaching rim rings. Related to the wheels that are to be used.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Wheels are often purchased with an emphasis on appearance, and in order to attract the attention of customers who emphasize appearance, the shape and number of spokes must be devised, the balance of the cap size relative to the overall size, and the Various efforts have been made, such as plating or matting, coloring or attaching cosmetic bolts. In particular, aluminum wheels were often purchased by customers who value their appearance more than other wheels.

[0003] However, the front flange surface of the wheel is easily scratched, and once damaged, the appearance deteriorates, and a customer who attaches importance to the appearance needs to replace the new wheel. In addition, customers who often get tired often buy new wheels. There was also a desire to have fun with various wheels according to changes in time, place, case and season.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is to attach a rim ring to a mounting portion of a wheel body, and if the rim ring is damaged, The purpose is to replace the rim ring and restore the appearance to prevent the waste of replacing a new wheel.

Another object is to change the appearance of the rim ring by changing the appearance of the rim ring by plating or matting the surface or by applying a color or pattern to the rim ring, and changing the appearance of the rim ring. In this case, it is necessary to be able to easily respond to the customer's request to enjoy various wheels mounted on automobiles and motorcycles according to the season.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In short, the present invention is characterized in that the mounting portion of the wheel is made small in advance by the thickness of the rim ring, and an annular rim ring having substantially the same cross-sectional shape as the mounting portion is mounted on the mounting portion. It is assumed that.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. The wheel 1 according to the present invention includes a wheel body 2 and a rim ring 3.

The front side of the wheel body 2 includes a front flange portion 11, a beat seat portion 16, a hump portion 17, a spoke portion 22, a decorative window 25, and the like. The surface is composed of a front flange corner portion 12, a front flange surface 13, a front flange standing wall surface 14, a disk flange surface 18, a disk flange corner 19, a spoke surface 23, and the like.

The mounting portion 21 of the wheel 2 is composed of a front flange corner portion 12, a front flange surface 13, a front flange standing wall surface 14, and a disk flange surface 18, and the mounting portion 21 is made smaller by the thickness A of the rim ring 3. I do. Then, a plurality of tap holes 29 are formed in the hump portion 17 from the disk flange surface 18.

The back surface 31 of the rim ring 3 is manufactured to have a size and a shape that fits on the mounting portion 21 of the wheel body 2, and a plurality of bolt holes 38 are formed by tapping the tapped holes 29. Since the front flange corner 12 has a small arc, the cross-sectional shape of the rim ring outer peripheral portion 34 is also small. The rim ring inner side 35 is provided with a notch 36 as necessary according to the shape of the spoke portion 22 and the decorative hole 25 of the wheel body 2. The surface 32 of the rim ring 3 can be further enhanced in decorativeness, for example, by plating or processing into a satin finish, or by applying a color or pattern.

The present invention is configured as described above, and its operation will be described below. Since the mounting portion 21 of the wheel main body 2 is previously manufactured to be smaller by the thickness A of the rim ring 3, the rim ring 3 is fixed with the mounting bolt 39 to be integrated, and the wheel 1 has a good appearance as a whole.

Although the rim ring 3 can be manufactured integrally, it is also possible to form an annular rim ring as a whole by dividing and manufacturing the rim ring 3 and attaching them to the wheel body 2.

[0013]

[Effect of the invention]

 The present invention provides a good-looking wheel 1 as a whole by assembling the wheel body 2 and the rim ring 3 as described above. Therefore, if the rim ring surface 32 is damaged, only the rim ring 3 is replaced. There is an effect that the wheel 1 having a good appearance can be reproduced without replacing the main body 2.

[0014] In addition, in order to meet the demands of customers who want to enjoy various kinds of wheels according to changes in time, place, case, season, etc., which are easy to get tired of, the wheel body 2 can be replaced by replacing only the rim ring 3. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to realize the wheel 1 in which plating, satin finish, color and pattern are changed.

[0015] Accordingly, the customer can reproduce a good-looking wheel inexpensively and in a short period of time, and can obtain a wheel having a different color, a pattern, and a mechanized or satin-finished surface. The effect that the pattern can be applied to the rim ring 3 and enjoyed can be obtained.
