摘要

A rim and wheel assembly including a series of axially inner clamp means and a series of axially outer clamp lugs to co-operatively engage the mounting flange of a rim. The clamp means are supported by fastening elements extending axially through the wheel. The fastening elements carry fastening means which draw clamp means toward the clamp lugs to seat the rim flange. Means are provided so that the fastening elements are retained on the wheel when a rim is being demounted and mounted.
