Patent ID: 7240969

Claim:
A vehicle wheel adapted for rotatably mounting to a wheel axle of a vehicle, comprising: a wheel body having an elongated guiding slot radially extended from a center of said wheel body; and an axle centrifugal adjusting arrangement; comprising: a sliding member slidably mounted along said guiding slot for rotatably mounting said wheel body to said wheel axle; and a gear adjustment device, comprising a first gear unit mounted at said guiding slot of said wheel body and a second gear unit mounted at said sliding member to substantially engage with said first gear unit so as to selectively adjust said sliding member to slide along said guiding slot, in such a manner that when said sliding member is slid at a position that said wheel axle is located at said center of said wheel body, said wheel body is concentrically rotated with respect to said wheel axle, and when said sliding member is slid at a position that said wheel axle is located offset from said center of said wheel body, said wheel body is eccentrically rotated with respect to said wheel axle, wherein said first gear unit comprises a locking wall gear which is mounted on a first sidewall of said guiding slot and has a longitudinal locking gear side defining a longitudinal locking portion and a longitudinal releasing portion extended side by side, wherein said second gear unit comprises a rotor gear transversely and slidably mounted on said sliding member between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein at said locking position, said rotor gear is transversely moved to engage with said longitudinal locking portion of said longitudinal locking gear side of said locking wall gear such that said sliding member is locked up at said guiding slot in position, and at said unlocked position, said rotor gear is transversely moved to said releasing portion of said longitudinal locking gear side of said longitudinal locking wall gear such that said sliding member is allowed to slide along said guiding slot.
