Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the weight, to enhance wear-resistance of the brake part, and to enhance separation-resistance of fiber-reinforced plastics at the time of tire-exchange by reinforcing the inner periphery of a thin metallic rim by means of fiber-reinforced plastics. CONSTITUTION:The inner periphery of a metallic rim 1 is reinforced with fiber- reinforced plastics 2 whose fiber placing angle relative to the axial direction of the rim 1 is 70 deg.-90 deg.. This fiber consists of mainly carbon fibers such as carbon fiber, silicon carbide fiber etc., while thermosetting resins like epoxy resin etc. and thermoplastic resin like nylon etc. are used as matrices. With this constitution, since the brake part is all metallic, wear-resistance is enhanced, while the fiber-reinforced plastics are hardly separated from the rim when a tire is exchanged. At the same time, the rim can be lightened.

Wheels used mainly for bicycles are composed of parts such as tires, rims, spokes, nipples, and hubs. The wheels are loaded with the weight of the bicycle, passengers and passengers, and impacts from the ground, and especially when the tires bank and the rims are directly impacted, a large load is applied. Even in such cases, sufficient rigidity and strength are required to prevent the wheel from deforming or breaking. Further, since the wheel is a rotating body and has a large diameter, the moment of inertia is large, and when the vehicle is shifted while the vehicle is running, a large inertial resistance is generated.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] 4. The weight reduction rate of the conventionally proposed rims fully reinforced with fiber-reinforced plastic is low, and the brake part is covered with fiber-reinforced plastic, which makes it difficult to wear. This caused problems such as peeling of the fiber-reinforced plastic from the sheath when changing tires, resulting in scratches and other problems. The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems and provides a composite reinforced bicycle rim that has a high rate of weight reduction, has high wear resistance in the brake part, and is less likely to cause peeling of delicate reinforced plastic when changing tires. It is.

FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a typical rim according to the present invention, in which 1 is a metal rim and 2 is a fiber-reinforced plastic rim. In addition, in order to achieve the target performance, it is preferable that the fiber orientation angle (θ) of the fiber reinforced plastic 2 is 90', or the circumferential part of the rim is curved as shown in Fig. 1. Therefore, when reinforcing the reinforcing material, the length of the reinforcing material differs depending on the difference in circumference, making it somewhat difficult to form it. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the fiber orientation angle (θ)t
