Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a one-piece type wheel of light weight and large strength for the titled wheel for a bicycle by forming all of a rim part, a hub part, a disc or a spoke part monolithically. CONSTITUTION:The desired number of layers of carbon and glass fiber textiles is laminated along the B face of a mold for the outside of a wheel and then the predetermined number of said textiles is so laminated along the A face of a split mold for a rim as to form an angle of about + or -45 deg. by the warp and the weft thereof with a peripheral direction. Thereafter, the molds A and B are combined with each other and the predetermined number of said textiles is laminated along the face of a combined lamination, thereby forming the internal parts of a rim and disc. Furthermore, the surface of an inner lamination part is applied with a silicone rubber pad and covered with breather cloth and a nylon bag for applying a vacuum pressure forming process thereto. After mold releasing, external trimming is applied. According to the aforesaid constitution, a light-weight and one-piece type wheel can be obtained.

Fiber-reinforced plastic wheels can be broadly classified into wheels using short fibers as reinforcing fibers and wheels using continuous long fibers. Wheels made from FRP using short fibers are easy to mold, and integral molding is also possible.
Because the reinforcing fibers are short fibers and the fiber content cannot be increased, the strength and rigidity are low, and the weight reduction advantage is small compared to conventional metal wheels, making it impossible to achieve the initial goal of switching to plastic wheels. The current situation is that we cannot say that there is. On the other hand, regarding FRP wheels using continuous long fibers,
Although it has excellent strength and rigidity, it is difficult to form and process.
The rim part and the disc or spoke part are molded and machined separately, and are assembled at the end.This is a three-piece or two-piece wheel.Therefore, the molding process is time-consuming, and the amount of machining is limited. The amount of assembly processing is large, resulting in not only low productivity and high costs, but also issues with rotational runout due to the accumulation of assembly errors during assembly, problems with stress concentration around holes in mechanical joints, and fatigue failure of adhesive joints. There are various problems associated with the assembly structure in terms of safety, such as the problem of safety, and the current situation is that it is only used for very specific purposes.
