Abstract
Abstract A wheel with disc brake in which the housing of the disc brake is located in an annular space defined to one side of the spokes between the rim and the hub of the wheel and in which the brake housing is so connected to the hub that elastic deformations imparted to the spokes are not transmitted to the brake housing and heat developed in the brake is not directly transmitted to the wheel rim.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
A wheel with disc brake comprising, in combination, a wheel body comprising a hub and radially extending spoke means integral with said hub; a rim coaxial with said hub and supported by radially outer portions of said spoke means with said rim overhanging at least in part said spoke means so as to form to one side of the spoke means between said hub and said rim an annular space; disc brake means located in said annular space and including an annular brake-housing part located substantially in a plane normal to the axis of said hub axially spaced and completely separated from said radially outer portions of said spoke means; and means supporting said annular brake-housing part on said hub and including an annular wall means substantially coaxially with and radially outwardly of said hub and integrally connected at one end to the inner periphery of said annular brake housing part, and transverse wall means extending transverse to said annular wall means and being integrally connected at opposite ends to said hub and to the other end of Said annular wall means, respectively, said wheel body, said brake-housing part, and said means supporting said annular brake-housing part on said hub being formed by a single casting.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
206 words
A wheel with disc brake comprising, in combination, a wheel body comprising a hub and radially extending spoke means integral with said hub; a rim coaxial with said hub and supported by radially outer portions of said spoke means with said rim overhanging at least in part said spoke means so as to form to one side of the spoke means between said hub and said rim an annular space; disc brake means located in said annular space and including an annular brake-housing part located substantially in a plane normal to the axis of said hub axially spaced and completely separated from said radially outer portions of said spoke means; and means supporting said annular brake-housing part on said hub and including an annular wall means substantially coaxially with and radially outwardly of said hub and integrally connected at one end to the inner periphery of said annular brake housing part, and transverse wall means extending transverse to said annular wall means and being integrally connected at opposite ends to said hub and to the other end of Said annular wall means, respectively, said wheel body, said brake-housing part, and said means supporting said annular brake-housing part on said hub being formed by a single casting.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A wheel as defined in claim 1, and including axially extending ribs reinforcing said transverse wall means, said ribs ending short of said annular wall means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A wheel as defined in claim 2, wherein said annular brake housing part and said annular wall means are axially displaced to one side of said spoke means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
65 words
A wheel as defined in claim 3, and including a plurality of additional ribs reinforcing said annular brake housing part, said additional ribs extending at most up to said annular wall means so as to provide at the radial outer end of said annular wall means a nonreinforced wall portion permitting a small relative movement between said wheel body and said annular brake housing part.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
A wheel as defined in claim 3, wherein said spoke means comprise a plurality of hollow spokes, and wherein said transverse wall means comprise a plurality of wall portions located between and integrally connected to said hollow spokes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
A wheel as defined in claim 3, wherein said transverse wall means are in form of a continuous ring.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A wheel as defined in claim 6, wherein said ring is located substantially in one plane with an end face of said spoke means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
59 words
A wheel as defined in claim 3, wherein said annular brake housing part forms a brake face, and wherein said brake means comprise further a cover forming an opposite brake face axially spaced from said first-named brake face, said cover having an annular wall abutting with an edge face thereof against a radial extension of said first-named brake face.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
74 words
A wheel as defined in claim 8, wherein said brake means comprise further a pair of brake discs located in the space between said first and said opposite brake face, means mounting said pair of brake discs movable in axial direction toward and away from each other but immovable in circumferential direction, and actuating means cooperating with said brake discs for moving the same in axial direction in braking engagement with said brake faces.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
90 words
A wheel as defined in claim 9, wherein said pair of brake discs are annular discs having each a thickness which gradually and uniformly increases in the circumferential direction, and wherein said actuating means comprises an actuating ring located between said brake discs and having also a thickness gradually and uniformly increasing in the circumferential direction, a plurality of rollers sandwiched between said brake discs and said actuating ring and having diameters which correspondingly decrease in said direction; and means to turn said actuating ring relative to said brake discs.
