Spokeless wheel and shroud therefor

摘要

A spokeless wheel which comprises a shroud in which a rotor (or hoop) is rotatably disposed and lateral bearings to laterally stabilize the rotor within the shroud. A series of resiliently mounted bearings are spaced about the shroud for rotatably retaining the rotor (or hoop) within the shroud and for transmitting load and for absorbing any impact forces imparted to the rotor as it rolls over the ground.
