Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent deviation or coming off of a bead section in a tire while reducing the weight by molding a bead stopper integral on the surface of a rim made of a fiber-reinforced resin. CONSTITUTION:In a wheel body 1, a rim section 2, a spoke section 3 and a hub section 4 are molded integral with a fiber-reinforced resin to reduce the weight. A bead stopper 14 is formed on a bead seat section 2a, a well section 2b and a shoulder section 2c of said rim section 2. The integral joining of the bead stopper 14 on the rim section 2 is performed in the process following the molding of the wheel body 1. In a tubeless tire 16, the bead section 16a is mounted on a bead sheet section 2a by pressure welding and the inside 16b of the bead section 16a is retained with the bead stopper 14. This prevents deviation in the bead section 16a, sinking thereof into the inward well section 2b from the shoulder section 2c and the coming thereof off the rim section 2a.

(3) The fiber-reinforced resin is a material that uses, for example, epoxy resin, polyester resin, phenol resin, etc. as a matrix and is reinforced with filaments such as carbon fiber, aromatic polyamide fiber, glass fiber, silicon carbide fiber, boron fiber, alumina fiber, etc. It consists of The split bodies 1a+11) constituting the wheel body 1 are molded by laminating reinforcing fibers and resin in respective molds, curing them under pressure, and integrally molding them, and then demolding and finishing. Processing is performed to form divided bodies 1a+1b. A bead stopper 14 is formed at a shoulder portion 2C between the bead seam 1 portion 2a and the well portion 2b of the rim portion 2.

The bead stopper 14 is integrally joined to the rim portion 2 in the next step after the wheel body 1 is molded. That is, for example, a synthetic resin or a fiber-reinforced resin is set in a simple mold having a cavity that forms the bead stopper 14, and then the rim portion 2 is set thereon and joined and integrated by pressure curing. In addition, when forming the bead stopper 14 with fiber-reinforced resin, it may be integrally formed at the same time as molding the rim part 2.

The two halves of the rim portions 2 having the bead stoppers 14 thus formed are joined together by joining the divided bodies 1a and ib as described above. Then, a synthetic resin is applied to the surface of the rim portion 20 to cover the vibrator 14 and the entire surface thereof, thereby forming a synthetic resin coating layer 15 on the rim surface. As a result, the bead stopper 14 portion of the synthetic resin coating layer 15 protrudes, and the surface of the other rim portion 20,
Irregularities and gaps that may exist at the joint of the bead stopper 14 or the joint of the two-piece rim part 2 are closed to ensure a smooth L1 airtightness. The tubeless tire 16 is mounted with its bead portion 16a pressed against the bead seat portion 2a, and the bead portion 16a
The inner side 16b of is locked by the bead stopper 14,
This prevents the bead portion 16a from shifting or falling from the shoulder portion 2C into the inner well portion 2b and coming off the rim portion 2a.

In the present invention, as mentioned above, the rim is molded from fiber-reinforced resin, which is a lightweight material, so the weight of the rim can be reduced (7), and since a bead stopper is integrally formed on the surface of this rim, it can be attached to the rim. The bead portion of the tire which has been fixed is locked by the bead stopper and is securely held by the bead seat portion of the rim portion so that it does not shift or come off. Moreover, this bead stopper is integrally joined to the surface of the rim made of fiber reinforced resin, and has the advantage of being easy to mold, reducing the weight of the rim, and improving productivity.
