Abstract:
An elastic wheel comprising elastic members annularly interposed between a disk and a rim, an abrasion reducing member annularly interposed between the inner peripheral surface of the rim and the elastic members, thereby providing superior durability capable of retaining the intended performance even for prolonged use, a projection formed on the disk, the projection having irregularities radially of the wheel, whereby easy and quick detection of a trouble to the elastic wheel is made possible during moving, the elastic members, which extend axially in opposite directions, differ in rigidity from each other, thereby providing superior steering stability, wherein the durability and safety will never be lost all the time from small power input to large power input, thus achieving an improved riding feeling, vibration−proof performance and sound−proof performance.
