Abstract
Abstract A wheel is partly closed at one side by a hub cap (1) continuous with the rim (6) and is designed to receive an axle from the opposite side. According to the invention, the hub of the wheel consists of a plurality of ribs (14-17) which serve as bearing faces for the axle and whose geometric, axial elongations clear a plurality of spokes (2-5) forming the connection of the hub cap to the rim (6). This enables injection moulding in one operation with the simultaneous provision of an inside cavity behind the hub cap to receive a radially resilient and projecting bead (11) at the end of the axle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A wheel, in particular for a toy building set, and with a hub comprising a plurality of spaced axial ribs (14-17), characterized in that the rib faces directed toward the axis of the hub are designed to serve as bearing faces for an axle, and that the wheel comprises a hub cap (1-5) which is connected to the wheel at an axial distance from the ribs (14-17) and which nowhere overlaps the axial elongation of the ribs within a region co-axial with the axis and of greater diameter than the bearing face diameter.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
A wheel, in particular for a toy building set, and with a hub comprising a plurality of spaced axial ribs (14-17), characterized in that the rib faces directed toward the axis of the hub are designed to serve as bearing faces for an axle, and that the wheel comprises a hub cap (1-5) which is connected to the wheel at an axial distance from the ribs (14-17) and which nowhere overlaps the axial elongation of the ribs within a region co-axial with the axis and of greater diameter than the bearing face diameter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A wheel according to claim l, characterized in that the hub cap (1-5) is axially aligned with a cavity which is defined within and between the ribs (14-17).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
A wheel according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the part (13), disposed between the ribs (14-17) and the hub cap (1-5), of the mentioned region co-axial with the axis is ring-shaped to receive a bead (11) at the end of a wheel axle (9).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A wheel according to claim l, characterized in that the hub cap has a recess which is open in a direction toward the hub and is designed to receive a splined shaft with a plurality of projections disposed between the splines so that a plurality of the projections is disposed in alignment with the hub ribs.
