US Patent:

40360806, Jul 19, 1977
Filed:

Nov 29, 1974
Appl. No.:

5/528388
Inventors:

Johan A. Friedericy - Palos Verdes Estates CA
Dennis A. Towgood - Huntington Beach CA
Assignee:

The Garrett Corporation - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:

F16F 1530
F16C 1500
H02K 702
US Classification:

74572
Abstract:

A plurality of nested rims are mounted on spokes of a flywheel hub member in a manner causing the rim assembly to have a noncircular configuration while the flywheel is at rest. Expansion of the rim assembly and the hub member during high speed flywheel operation causes the rim assembly to assume a substantially circular configuration with each rim frictionally engaging its adjacent rims while the inner rim is frictionally engaged by the spokes.
