Abstract

A wheel covering of steered vehicle wheels, which constitutes an element of the vehicle body (1). The essential element of the wheel covering is a guide tube (5) which is bent in a circular manner and is kept in its position via two groups of guide rollers (7). The roller arrangement is selected in such a manner that the guide tube (5) is kept in a play-free manner in the roller profile by inner and outer rollers (7) which permit a movement of the guide tube (5) about the centre point of its circle. The rollers (7) are accommodated by a mounting plate (6) which is mounted on a fixed vehicle component in such a manner that the axis of rotation of the guide tube is identical to the wheel steering axis. A holder (4) on which the wheel covering (1) and a U profile (2) are fixedly mounted is inserted/screwed at the guide tube ends (9). The tube is screwed to the wheel hub via a driver pin (3). Said driver pin transmits the steering angle/angular position of the wheel to the wheel covering, which follows the wheel steering angle movement via the roller guide. The driver pin (3) can move freely upwards/downwards in the U profile (2).

Erfindungsbezeichnung : Invention name:

Radabdeckung der gelenkten Fahrzeugräder  Wheel cover of the steered vehicle wheels

Beschreibung und Ziel der Erfindung Description and aim of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vollverkleidung der The invention relates to a full panel of

(gelenkten) Fahrzeugräder (Radabdeckung), bzw. das Schließen der Radkästen zur optischen Aufwertung sowie zur aerodynamischen Optimierung.  (steered) vehicle wheels (wheel cover), or closing the wheel arches for visual enhancement and aerodynamic optimization.

Zwar bestehen bereits patentierte Radabdeckungen, die an Fahrzeugen angebracht werden, jedoch nicht auf die neuen Lenksysteme anzuwenden sind. Although there are already patented wheel covers, which are attached to vehicles, but are not applicable to the new steering systems.

Dies liegt daran, dass die neuen Lenksysteme eine schräge Lenkachse haben, bzw. der Sturz geneigt ist und die Achse in den Radbereich hineinläuft This is because the new steering systems have an oblique steering axle, or the camber is inclined and the axle runs into the wheel area

(Einzelradaufhängung) . Alte Lenksysteme sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie über eine gerade Lenkachse außerhalb des Rades verfügen (gefederte Achse) .  (Independent suspension). Old steering systems are characterized in that they have a straight steering axis outside the wheel (sprung axle).

Unsere Vorrichtung ist demnach nur auf neue Our device is therefore only on new

Lenksysteme anzuwenden, da diese ausschließlich an neue Lenksysteme montiert werden kann. Steering systems, as they can be mounted only on new steering systems.

Dieser Unterschied wird anhand der bereits This difference is based on the already

bestehenden, patentierten Vorrichtungen (Stand der Technik) und deren technischer Umsetzung nochmals verdeutlicht : In der US 000002010350 A wird eine Radabdeckung beschrieben, die auf eine veraltete, gefederte Achse und keiner Einzelradaufhängung angewendet wird. existing, patented devices (prior art) and their technical implementation made clear again: In US 000002010350 A a wheel cover is described, which is applied to an outdated, sprung axle and no independent suspension.

Aus den Zeichnungen des o.g. Patentes ist From the drawings of the o.g. Patentes is

ersichtlich, dass hier keine Neigung (Sturz) der Drehachse vorliegt. It can be seen that there is no inclination (camber) of the axis of rotation.

Dieses patentierte System einer Radabdeckung kann man auf heutige Lenksysteme mit dem heutigen Stand der Technik nicht anwenden. This patented wheel cover system can not be applied to today's state-of-the-art steering systems.

Eine weitere bekannte Ausführungsform wird in der DE 000002147750 A und JP 000S59192677 A dargestellt. Another known embodiment is shown in DE 000002147750 A and JP 000S59192677 A.

Hier erweist sich als nachteilig, dass keine Here proves to be disadvantageous that no

Entkopplung des federnden Rades, wie es bei unserer Vorrichtung der Fall ist, gegeben ist. Decoupling of the resilient wheel, as is the case with our device, is given.

Die Lenkachse des Rades liegt außerhalb des Rades und führt in der Umsetzung zu Problemen, da das The steering axle of the wheel is outside the wheel and leads to problems in the implementation, as the

eingeschlagene Rad aufgrund des Sturzes stark geneigt wird und so an der Radabdeckung streifen würde. hammered wheel is strongly inclined due to the fall and so would touch the wheel cover.

Da die Lenkachse des Rades nicht identisch mit der Drehachse der Radabdeckung ist, führt das System bei großem Einschlag auch zur Kollision - das Rad bewegt sich unter die Drehachse der Abdeckung. Since the steering axis of the wheel is not identical to the axis of rotation of the wheel cover, the system also leads to a collision in a large impact - the wheel moves under the axis of rotation of the cover.

In der US 000006007102 A wird eine Radabdeckung beschrieben, die linear bewegt wird und nicht die Einschlagbewegung des Rades mitmacht. Ob das Rad auch genügend federn kann, ist nicht zu erkennen. Alle genannten patentierten Systeme erfüllen nicht den Anspruch, welchen die heutigen Lenksysteme, wie sie in der Automobilindustrie angewendet werden, voraussetzen und können somit auch nicht zielführend zum Einsatz kommen. In US 000006007102 A a wheel cover is described which is moved linearly and does not join in the impact movement of the wheel. Whether the wheel can spring enough, is not visible. All of the above-mentioned patented systems do not meet the requirements which today's steering systems, as used in the automotive industry, presuppose and therefore can not be used effectively.

Der Erfindung liegt demnach die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Radabdeckung der eingangs erwähnten Art so zu verbessern, dass die erwähnten Nachteile (bestehende Patente), nicht zum Tragen kommen. The invention is therefore an object of the invention to improve a wheel cover of the type mentioned so that the mentioned disadvantages (existing patents), do not come into play.

Unser vorgestelltes System ist an vielen Our presented system is at many

Serienmodellen anwendbar, serientauglich und somit Schützenswürdig . Standard models applicable, suitable for series production and therefore vulnerable.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 erreicht. Weitere This is inventively achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Further

vorteilhaftere Ausgestaltungen werden gem. den more advantageous embodiments are gem. the

Unteransprüchen vorgeschlagen. Subclaims proposed.

Da die Radabdeckung ein Element der Karosserie darstellt, ist nur ein Mitführen der Lenkbewegung bei einem Loskoppeln der Federbewegung sinnvoll 1-7. Steering movement (in horizontal plane) as well as a spring movement (in vertical plane). Since the wheel cover is an element of the body, only one entrainment of the steering movement at a decoupling of the spring movement is useful 1-7.

Da an der Karosserie kein fixer Drehpunkt zur As on the body no fixed pivot point to

Aufnahme der Radabdeckung vorhanden ist - das Rad macht an dieser Stelle eine Schwenkbewegung - muss ein Drehpunkt ähnlich der Radlenkachse gefunden werden. Da es in dem Bereich der Radlenkachse keine geeigneten Aufnahmepunkte für die Drehachse der Radabdeckung gibt, ist eine Lösung mit einer Recording the wheel cover is present - the wheel makes at this point a pivoting movement - must a pivot similar to the wheel steering axis can be found. Since there are no suitable receiving points for the axis of rotation of the wheel cover in the region of the wheel steering axle, a solution with a

Zudem führt die Raddrehachse zugleich die vertikale Federbewegung aus, was ebenfalls eine Anbindung der Drehachse der Radabdeckung unmöglich macht. At the same time, the wheel rotation axis also executes the vertical spring movement, which also makes it impossible to connect the axis of rotation of the wheel cover to the "virtual" axis of rotation (8).

Kernstück der Radabdeckung ist ein kreisförmig gebogenes Führungsrohr 5, welches über zwei Gruppen von Profilrollen 7 in seiner Position gehalten wird. Die Rollen sind mit einem Profil ausgeführt, welches das Rohr aufnimmt/ umschließt 7. Die Anordnung der Rollen ist so gewählt, dass das Rohr durch innen und außen liegende Rollen im Rollenprofil spielfrei gehalten wird. Diese Rollen ermöglichen ein Bewegen des Rohres um seinen Kreismittelpunkt. Diesen The core of the wheel cover is a circularly curved guide tube 5, which is held in position by means of two groups of profile rollers 7. The rollers are designed with a profile which accommodates / encloses the tube 7. The arrangement of the rollers is chosen so that the tube is held backlash by internal and external rollers in the roller profile. These rollers allow the tube to move around its center of circle. this

Das Führungsrohr 5 ist so weit kreisförmig gebogen, dass der erforderliche Einschlagwinkel des Rades vom Führungsrohr 5 im added. The mounting plate 6 is mounted on a fixed component of the vehicle underside so that the axis of rotation of the tube is approximately identical to the steering axis of the wheel. The guide tube 5 is bent so far circular that the required Steering angle of the wheel from the guide tube 5 in

Area of the profile rollers 7 can also be covered. This required contour represents approximately a semicircle. At the ends of the tube, a holder 4 is inserted and screwed.

An diesem Halteblech 4 sind die Radabdeckung 1 und ein U-Profil 2 fix montiert. In dieses U-Profil 2 ragt ein Mitnehmer 3, welcher mit der Radnabe des At this holding plate 4, the wheel cover 1 and a U-profile 2 are permanently mounted.
