    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • An exemplary method comprises fitting a metal hub 100 having the aperture 102 of the X-Lock system and a plurality of protruding tabs 104, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 25, into a disc 106 having a central void 108 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 25; and crimping the tabs around the disc, as indicated by the sequence of FIGS. 26, 27A. Details of the X-Lock system are shown in WO2018036831, incorporated herein by reference.
  • Other similar methods are shown by the following sequences:
      • FIGS. 28, 29,30A
      • FIGS. 31, 32, 33A
      • FIGS. 34, 35, 36A

      • FIGS. 54, 55, 56A
  • In these regards, some notable variations include:
      • the discs of FIGS. 5, 7 and 11 are provided with interior notches 110, to provide for a mechanical radial connection between the hub and disc;
      • the discs of FIG. 10 includes recesses 112 into which the tabs fold, to similarly provide a mechanical radial connection;
      • the disc of FIG. 13 has radial slots 114 through which the tabs project in use;
      • the disc of FIG. 12 has openings holes 116 through which the tabs project in use;
      • the disc of FIGS. 31 and 46 is provided with abrasive flaps; and
      • the system could be used with apertures of shapes differing from that of the X-LOCK system (not shown).
  • Further variations are of course possible. Accordingly, the invention should be understood to be limited only by the accompanying claims, purposively construed.
