Definitions

  • the present invention is about a device for checking and regulating alloy and steel tubeless wire wheels, (we use the term “wire wheels” or “wire rims” to indicate those spoke wheels similar to bicycle wheels) which allows the tuning, set up, rims substitution, and spoking, tensioning and centering of said wheels' spokes with utmost precision, with a quick, easy, and inexpensive system that allows the service and repair shops to fix the dents and tune up such wheels.
  • alloy or steel tubeless wire rims have created some kinds of wheels which need an accurate and utmost precise maintenance to be carried out frequently according to the run mileage. They are used on maximotos with considerable performances, same as for bicycles and automotive vehicles. At the moment, this kind of equipment apparently does not exist.
  • a small hit or a pothole can produce radial dents or axial misalignments which even if of reduced size could cause serious riding and safety problems to such vehicles.
  • a dent on the edge in addition to causing the tire to deflate which is very dangerous on the run, also makes the wheels to loose their balance and to misalign that particularly affects the stability, already precarious, of two wheels vehicles causing characteristic and dangerous waving, besides bringing about the loosening or breaking of the spokes.
  • the device according to the present invention brilliantly solves these problems and it is made of a supporting framework for a drilled table where at its center an adjustable or custom positioning flange of the wheel's rim is mounted in order to carry out the tensioning and centering check up of the wheel's spokes.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the table for a wire tubeless wheel with a system for the fixing of the spokes on the rim's outer ring;
  • Figure 2 is a sectional side view of the table of figure 1 showing the wheel's set up;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the supporting framework or bed of the table;
  • Figure 4 is an enlarged section along the line 4-4 of Figure 3 showing the friction fixing of the table
  • Figure 5 is a plan view of the revolving table with a system for the fixing of the spokes on the hub's center;
  • Figure 6 is a sectional side view of the table of Figure 5 showing the set up of a BMW motorbike's back wheel;
  • Figure 7 is a sectional side view similar to Figure 6 showing the set up of a BMW motorbike's front wheel
  • Figure 8 is a sectional side view similar to Figures 6 and 7 for a BMW motorbike's wheel with a built-in bearing of the brake disc;
  • Figures 9 and 10 show two alternative systems of dents' straightening.
  • the tubeless rims will be specifically considered for the wire wheels however the same system is applicable also for the conventional spoke rims even if adopting different reaction systems to the adjustment.
  • the tubeless rim which some brand names like Aprilia, BMW, Guzzi and others, use on endurance or chopper models is taken as reference; in this first case the example refers to the front and back wheels of a BMW GS model, which use a tubeless rim with the spokes fixing on the rim's outer edge and the adjustment occurs inside the hub.
  • the device (BMW) (Aprilia with the system of nipples fixing on the outer ring) is made of an anti-scratch table 50 centrally drilled 52 whereon a flange 54 is mounted of such a thickness to allow the outer ring 56 of the rim 58 to be kept in the axial center line position relative to the hub 60 that for instance in the back wheel turns out to be misaligned with respect to the hub.
  • the fixing plane is tipping, the plane was made in a way that it would be automatically found in the center line of the hub/rim by using the same flange.
  • the thickness and the diameter are adapted to the rim to be treated taking also into consideration the fixing to the outer rim's plane once centered with the proper instrument shown in the drawings, the central hole 52 adapted to the flange 54 on which the hub is fixed through the holes 62 of the brake disc which are perfectly flat and perpendicular to the hub's hole (wheel center), an excellent reference for the outer rim for all the adjustments and centering in the various desired positions, with a number of holes and stirrup system 63 of the external diameter on the plane.
  • the linings 65 are used which displace the centering of the hub to the rim's center line. The plane rotates in the desired positions, is tipped of 180° and rotates for
  • the turning and the tipping allow the adjustment of the nipples 70 which are found inside the hub from both sides, they act on the spokes 72 and consequently they center the rim 58 with respect to the hub 60 in the various axial, radial and of center line positions.
  • the system of centering checking in the two positions is a T shaped structure 74 which inserts itself with the vertical part 76 into the hub's central hole, the conventional wheel's center, it gets fixed into the desired point with the ring nut 77 and then goes on to the radial centering and checking first making a rotating pin 78 turn around the rim adjusting the position through the fixing 80 on the horizontal guide 82 of the T shaped structure, subsequently the operation is completed with the test indicator 84 by adjusting the length (3.14 radius) of the spokes 72 paying attention to tighten first those spokes which pull towards the face, while if one does the inverse process the rim's center line would move upward because being the rim free it would not meet any resistance to such displacement. Nevertheless the entire process can be carried out anyway with the sole assistance of the feeler pins without using the test indicator.
  • the fixing of the rim on the table can be carried out in several ways, with clamps, rings, flanges, and hydraulic or mechanical systems.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un dispositif de contrôle et de réglage pour roues sans chambre à rayons, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un cadre ou un banc permettant de faire tourner et d'incliner un plateau à perçage central, sur lequel est monté un flasque de positionnement d'axe central de jante de roue à hauteur variable, dans le but de vérifier et de centrer les rayons de la roue. Ce dispositif robuste, fiable et résistant, permet de régler des roues rapidement, efficacement et, surtout, avec un degré de précision élevée.
