Vehicle Wheel and Tire Information Acquisition Device Fitting
First Claim
1. A vehicle wheel, comprising:
- a rim includinga rim hump extending in a wheel radial direction and protruding to an outside in a wheel radial direction, the rim hump includinga rim inclined face slanted to an inside in the wheel radial direction on an inside in a wheel width direction from a top of the rim hump, the rim inclined face having an opening of a through hole;
a tire valve inserted into the through hole;
a tire information acquisition device installed on the tire valve in a tire cavity region between the rim and the tire fitted on the rim, the tire information acquisition device configured to acquire tire information on the condition of gas filling the tire cavity region; and
a fitting provided between the rim inclined face and the tire information acquisition device, the fitting including a device contact surface configured to contact the tire information acquisition device, an outermost end in the wheel radial direction of the device contact surface being provided in a position in the wheel radial direction near to or to the outside of the outermost end in the wheel radial direction of a fitting contact surface of the tire information acquisition device, the fitting contact surface configured to contact the fitting.

Abstract
A vehicle wheel includes a rim that extends in the wheel circumferential direction, that includes a rim hump formed in a convex form projecting to the outside in the wheel radial direction, and a through hole formed on a rim inclined face that is slanted to an inside in the wheel radial direction on an inside in a wheel width direction from a top of the rim hump. When the tire is fitted, a tire cavity region facing the rim hump is formed. The wheel includes a tire valve fitted to the through hole and a tire information acquisition device installed in the tire cavity region on the tire valve that acquires tire information on the condition of gas filling the tire cavity region. A fitting is provided between the rim inclined face and the tire information acquisition device.
