Patent ID: 7735888

Claim:
A rail vehicle wheel in which a wheel tire is connected to a wheel rim by way of a rubber insert that is formed by two coplanar perforation-free rings arranged to be inclined or vertical in relation to a wheel axle, wherein the two coplanar perforation-free rings are exclusively held, under axial prestress, between supporting surfaces arranged to be inclined or vertical in relation to the wheel axle and that are formed by a circumferential inner middle web of the wheel tire and two outer flanges of the wheel rim, wherein the two coplanar perforation-free rings, when the rail wheel is under a radial load, are predominantly subjected to shear stress, and wherein at least one of the two outer flanges is held directly to the wheel rim by screw bolts arranged radially outside the two flat perforation-free rings of the rubber insert, wherein the at least one flange held by the screw bolts is seated in an interference fit on the wheel rim, wherein the interference fit is a conical press fit in which a first cone of the at least one flange in a stress-free state has a lesser angle of inclination than does a second cone of the wheel rim, and in a pressed-on state rests with the entire surface of the first cone against the second cone of the wheel rim.
