Abstract
A driving mechanism having a driver-loose key provided between a rim base and a bead seat band mounted about the rim base of a multi-piece rim which has the rim base, the bead seat band, a pair of side rings and a lock ring. The driver-loose key is cross-shaped with the two portions thereof which are adapted to be inserted into a groove extending in the circumferential direction of the rim base between the rim base and the bead seat band being arc-shaped so as to have substantially the same curvature as that of the groove. With this structure the slippage of the bead seat band on the rim base can be minimized and the durability of the mechanism can be increased.
