Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9833666A1] A noise barrier in a road wheel assembly is described: the barrier can be made from any suitable noise absorbing/deadening material manufactured to exacting safety specifications as far as width, thickness and retention. A solid synthetic or natural rubber or plastics material which is an extremely poor medium for transmitting vibrations can be used. For example a specially prepared durable rubber extruded and vulcanised between two steel or other metal rings or plates situated between a road wheel rim and a wheel hub assembly is suitable. The invention can be incorporated into a new wheel or as a modification to an existing wheel.
