ABSTRACT:
There is provided a metallic wheel having multiple planes of wire-like spokes and a rim for mounting a tire, and a method for fabricating the spoked wheel members entirely from flat sheet metal. The wheel comprises a pair of inner wheel members, a pair of outer wheel members, an externally threaded shaft, and a spacer. The inner and outer wheel members each have a peripheral rim, a central hub, and a plurality of spokes extending generally inward from the peripheral rim to the central hub. The inner wheel members have a plurality of pins projecting from their peripheral rims which mate with correspondingly arranged holes in the peripheral rims of the outer wheel members. The externally threaded shaft threadably mates with internally threaded orifices in the hubs of the outer members. The spacer has an internally threaded hole extending therethrough for threadably mating with the externally threaded shaft between the hubs of the inner wheel members for maintaining a predetermined distance between the inner wheel members.
