ABSTRACT:
A design arrangement is given, by means of which, the weight of a composite wheel rim may approach minimum. This is accomplished by locating high strength fiber bundles at extremes of the section. At other, less critical locations in the section less dense reinforcing fibers are used to save weight. Variations of this arrangement are applicable to a wide variety of wheels (i.e., bicycle, automobile, motorcycle, airplane, etc.).
