ABSTRACT:
A safety wheel for trucks or other motor vehicles, including a safety flange which is detachably connectable to the tire mounting rim of a wheel body, with the flange having a mounting portion preferably received radially between the rim and a bead of the tire, and with the flange extending generally radially outwardly at the outside of the tire to a peripheral edge which is of a diameter slightly less than the external diameter of the tire to normally be out of engagement with the road surface, but to contact that road surface and effectively support the vehicle in the event of deflation of the tire. The safety flange is desirably retained on the rim by a resilient split retaining ring removably received within an annular groove formed in the wheel body, and with further retention of the safety flange by a series of circularly spaced screws extending outwardly through the wheel body and connecting to the safety flange.
