Abstract: The invention is a system to produce lighted patterns on hubcaps which lighted patterns correspond analogically to sound. Such sound sources are a radio, a CD player, a tape player, a DVD player, or a microphone. A transfer means, either wired or wireless, receive electronic impulses that represent sounds from music source. That transfer means carries the electronic impulses that corresponds analogically to sound to a color transformation device which control the various types of lights. The signals that control the various types of lights are transported either by wire or wireless to a receiver inside hubcaps or to a receiver which is external to the hubcaps. Such an external receiver light source projects various color sequences onto hubcaps. The light source controlled by receiver internal to the hub cap transfers such light by fiber optics or refractory (fresnal lens) materials to the surface of the hubcap. Likewise, the source of the light for the hubcaps may be a projector that focuses on outer surface of the hubcap. The special hubcaps can be attached and rotate at the same rate as the wheel, or may be free-wheeling type hubcaps. In an alternative embodiment of the invention the lights projected may be pictures from a camera or a DVD which pictures project onto the hubcaps. The external projector may be permanently attached or may be removable.

Abstract translation: 本发明是一种在轮毂帽上产生照明图案的系统，其中点燃的图案类似于声音。 这样的声源是收音机，CD播放器，磁带机，DVD播放器或麦克风。 有线或无线的传送装置接收来自音乐源的声音的电子脉冲。 该传送装置将类似于声音的电子脉冲携带到控制各种类型的灯的颜色转换装置。 控制各种类型的灯的信号通过有线或无线传输到轮毂盖内的接收器或者轮毂盖外部的接收器。 这种外部接收器光源将各种颜色序列投射到轮毂盖上。 由接收器内部的接收器控制的光源通过光纤或耐火（玻璃透镜）材料将这种光转移到轮毂盖的表面。 类似地，用于轮毂盖的光源可以是聚焦在轮毂盖的外表面上的投影仪。 特殊的轮毂帽可以以与车轮相同的速度安装和旋转，或者可以是轮式轮毂盖。 在本发明的替代实施例中，所投射的光可以是图片投影到轮毂盖上的照相机或DVD的照片。 外部投影机可以永久地附接或可以是可移动的。
