VEHICLE WHEEL, FRICTION DRIVE APPARATUS AND OMNI-DIRECTIONAL VEHICLE

摘要

[Object] To produce with a high workability a vehicle wheel having a good performance for use in an omni-directional vehicle. [Solution] An axle member (51) comprises C-shaped axle main bodies (61) and supplemental axle bodies (62) to form an annular member. The junction between the axle main body (61) and the supplemental axle body (62) includes a joint plane that is not perpendicular to the axis of the axle member through which a bolt (64) passes in the radial direction of the axle member (51) joining the axle main body and the supplemental axle body (62).
