Patent ID: 7631948

Claim:
A wheel hub, comprising: a central section having an axis of rotation; a radial section which extends radially outward from said central section; holes for wheel bolts formed in a wall of the radial section; recesses which extend completely through the wall of the radial section, each of the recesses formed between two adjacent holes; a bearing section which projects in a first axial direction from the central section, for holding a wheel bearing; a holding section for holding a brake disk and a wheel rim, the holding section projects in a second axial direction from the central section, the second axial direction axially opposite the first axial direction; and each of the recesses having inner axial walls that define the recess, the axial walls having a first axial section, a second axial section which axially adjoins the said first axial section and a third axial section which axially adjoins said second axial section, the first axial section having a surface running substantially perpendicular to the radial plane of the radial section, while the second axial section and the third axial section both having surfaces that are inclined with respect to said radial plane with different and axially decreasing angles of less than 90°.
