Wheel rim for tire
A wheel rim 1 for a tire 2 including a rim portion 1 A having a rim body 5 and a pair of flanges 6 , the rim body 5 having seat portions 5 a for seating bead portions 2 c of the tire 2 at both ends of the rim body 5 in a rotation axis direction thereof, and the pair of flanges 6 being continuously provided on both sides of the rim body 5 and extending radially outward, wherein convex portions 9 which extend in a direction intersecting with a tire circumferential direction are provided at distances from one another in the circumferential direction on an outer surface 6 o , which does not come into contact with the tire 2 , of the flanges 6 in the rotation axis direction and/or on an inner surface of the rim body 5 in a radial direction.
1. A wheel rim for a tire comprising a rim portion including a rim body and a pair of flanges, the rim body having seat portions for seating bead portions of the tire at both ends of the rim body in a rotation axis direction thereof, and the pair of flanges being continuously provided on both sides of the rim body and extending radially outward, wherein
convex portions which extend in a direction intersecting with a circumferential direction of the tire are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction, on an outer surface of the flanges in the rotation axis direction which does not come into contact with the tire, or on an inner surface of the rim body in a radial direction,
wherein the convex portions are arranged with a non-constant placement pitch in the circumferential direction.
2. The wheel rim of claim 1 , wherein a cross sectional area of the convex portion perpendicular to a longitudinal direction thereof is 1 to 250 mm 2 .
3. The wheel rim of claim 2 , wherein a projecting height of the convex portion is 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less, and a placement pitch P of the convex portion in the circumferential direction is 2° or more and 12° or less at a center angle of the convex portion.
4. The wheel rim of claim 2 , wherein the convex portion extends at an angle in a range from 5° or more to less than 90° with respect to the circumferential direction.
5. The wheel rim of claim 2 , wherein the convex portion is provided on the outer surface of the flange and an inner surface of the seat portion in the radial direction.
6. The wheel rim of claim 2 , wherein the convex portion extends between a pair of the seat portions.
7. The wheel rim of claim 1 , wherein a cross sectional area of the convex portion perpendicular to a longitudinal direction thereof is 1 to 25 mm 2 .
8. The wheel rim of claim 7 , wherein the convex portion extends at an angle in a range from 5° or more to less than 90° with respect to the circumferential direction.
9. The wheel rim of claim 7 , wherein the convex portion is provided on the outer surface of the flange and an inner surface of the seat portion in the radial direction.
10. The wheel rim of claim 7 , wherein the convex portion extends between a pair of the seat portions.
11. The wheel rim of claim 3 , wherein a projecting height of the convex portion is 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less, and a placement pitch P of the convex portion in the circumferential direction is 2° or more and 12° or less at a center angle of the convex portion.
12. The wheel rim of claim 1 , wherein the convex portion extends at an angle in a range from 5° or more to less than 90° with respect to the circumferential direction.
13. The wheel rim of claim 12 , wherein the convex portion is provided on the outer surface of the flange and an inner surface of the seat portion in the radial direction.
14. The wheel rim of claim 12 , wherein the convex portion extends between a pair of the seat portions.
15. The wheel rim of claim 1 , wherein the convex portion is provided on the outer surface of the flange and an inner surface of the seat portion in the radial direction.
16. The wheel rim of claim 1 , wherein the convex portion extends between a pair of the seat portions.
17. The wheel rim of claim 1 , wherein a projecting height of the convex portion is 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less, and a placement pitch P of the convex portion in the circumferential direction is 2° or more and 12° or less at a center angle of the convex portion.
18. The wheel rim of claim 1 , wherein the convex portions are arranged at random with the non-constant placement pitch in the circumferential direction.
