<p>A hub (10) for use in and as part of a wheel support assembly adapted to bolt to the endplate (24) of an axle of a vehicle for supporting a tire is disclosed herein along with the wheel support assembly itself. The hub (10) is configured as a plurality of bars which are connected together to form a hub body. This hub body (10) defines a common center point (14) and a contact face. The contact face is where the hub is in contact with the axle endplate when the device is mounted to a vehicle. Each of the bars has on one side a contact surface, and a through hole for receiving an axle lug bolt. The contact surface on each of the bars has a curved shape on its outwardly most extending end (18), the curvatures of which is defined by a radius less than the distance between the common center point of the hub body (10) and the outwardly most extending end of the bars.</p> |
