Wheel and casting method for such a wheel with a displaced and masked valve

摘要

The wheel has a duct (25) integrated in a volume of the wheel so that a valve (24) for inflating/deflating a tire from outside a vehicle is placed at the level of a central part (22) of the wheel while being masked by a tailpiece (23) connected on front side of the wheel. The duct emerges at the level of a rim in a tire inflating zone (20) and at the level of the central part so as to assure connection between the zone and the valve. An independent claim is also included for a method of molding an aluminum alloy wheel.
