MACHINE-MADE REINFORCING FIBER RIM FOR A VEHICLE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAID RIM

摘要

A rim for a vehicle comprising a tire contact to which a clincher or a tubed tire may be fastened is disclosed. The tire contact includes a core wrapped by reinforcing thread so that the core is covered by a supporting layer formed by the reinforcing thread. The tire contact is covered at least on the radial inside by the cover layer formed of reinforcing thread so that a reinforcing ring is provided between the cover layer and the tire contact. Methods of manufacturing fiber composite rims are also disclosed. A core is wrapped with a reinforcing thread to deposit a supporting layer on the core and to form a tire contact. The tire contact is arranged adjacent an aerodynamics enhancing component and a reinforcing ring. The tire contact, the aerodynamics enhancing component and the reinforcing ring are wrapped with one or more reinforcing thread(s) to form a cover layer.
