Abstract
Abstract A double-disk vehicle wheel whose synthetic-resin wheel disks are centered upon a common axis and are mutually juxtaposed to define a tire seat along the outer peripheries of the disks. An annular tire is mounted upon the tire seat, and an axially extending barb, connected with one of the disks and a recess formed in the other disk for receiving the barb define a resiliently deformable snap coupling joining the disks together.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A vehicle wheel comprising: 1 a pair of synthetic-resin wheel disks centered upon a common axis and mutually juxtaposed to define a tire seat along the outer peripheries of said disks; 1 an annular tire mounted upon said tire seat; 1 an axially extending flange connected with one said disks and underlying said tire and provided with an inwardly-extending ridge; and 1 an annular recess formed in the other disk for receiving said flange, said recess and said flange defining a resiliently deformable snap coupling joining said disks together upon relative axial displacement of said disks toward one another and being formed along said ridge and a confronting portion of the wall of said recess with mutually abutting annular flanks lying in a plane perpendicular to the axis of said disks, said flanks preventing axial separation of said disks.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A vehicle wheel comprising: 1 a pair of synthetic-resin wheel disks centered upon a common axis and mutually juxtaposed to define a tire seat along the outer peripheries of said disks; 1 an annular tire mounted upon said tire seat; 1 an axially extending flange connected with one said disks and underlying said tire and provided with an inwardly-extending ridge; and 1 an annular recess formed in the other disk for receiving said flange, said recess and said flange defining a resiliently deformable snap coupling joining said disks together upon relative axial displacement of said disks toward one another and being formed along said ridge and a confronting portion of the wall of said recess with mutually abutting annular flanks lying in a plane perpendicular to the axis of said disks, said flanks preventing axial separation of said disks.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The vehicle wheel defined in claim 1 wherein said recess and flange overlap axially along said outer portion of said disk.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
69 words
The vehicle wheel defined in claim 1 wherein said disks are provided with respective hub portions surrounding said axis, said recess and said flange being provided at said hub portions. 4 The vehicle wheel defined in claim 1 wherein said disks further comprise a hub portion proximal to said axis and an outer portion carrying said tire, a respective such snap coupling being provided in each of said portions.
