Abstract:
The present invention discloses a clip mechanism having a first clip and a second clip and a crossed orientation. This crossed clip mechanism has opposed ends which are biased to frictionally or biasedly grasp the lip of a hub or the hub itself. If the lip of the hub is not available, holes can be placed in the opposed ends to receive the bolts on the face of the hub. The opposed ends also extend outwardly to be releasibly received by the inside of the hub cover.
Abstract:
The present system discloses a universal wheel trim attachment system in which a wheel liner is attached to a wheel under the wheel lug nuts. Universal wheel trim attachment system has a center piece which can act as a hub cover. Surrounding the opening is a plateau on substantially an X-axis and perpendicular to a Y-axis. Around the plateau there is placed a first incline. Around the first incline there is placed a ledge which merely shows the change in direction between a first incline and a second incline which surrounds the first incline. A valley surrounds the second incline. A ridge surrounds the valley. A lip surrounds the ridge and rests upon the outer portions of the wheel. The wheel liners are also provided with lug holes, oval holes, and hand holes.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a wheel trim attachment system that uses a continuous attachment ring having mounting brackets which are pivotally and/or slidably attached to it thereby allowing it to be adjustable for different configurations of wheels. Additionally, the pivoting allows use for either a large diameter such as a spoked wheel or a small diameter such as a standard wheel. The attachment bracket receives an existing lug. Jam nuts are then placed over the bracket to hold the attachment bracket onto the existing lugs. Attachment screws are placed through holes in the liner and are received by mounting lips attached to the attachment ring to coordinate and correspond to the holes in the liner.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a wheel trim attachment system that attaches to a yoke having a pair of collars, substantially half-moon shaped, separated by a tab. The collar is sized to fit within the offset of lug nut pairs. A bias member such as a rubber band can be used or any other kind of elastic member can be used to keep the yoke on the lug nut pairs. A mounting orifice is attached to or placed into the tab. Screws are then used to attach the wheel liner to the yoke.
Abstract:
An attachment system including an attachment sleeve or attachment arm is provided for attaching a wheel cover, or wheel trim to a vehicle. The attachment sleeve attaches to a nut present on the vehicle. The arm located within the axle housing of the wheel cover provides a compression fitting against parts of the rear hub of a vehicle. It is by compression engagement that the attachment sleeve or arm provides attachment of the wheel cover to the vehicle. Also disclosed is an attachment system kit and method of use thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an expandable ring system for attaching a wheel liner to a wheel. The wheel liner has clips attached to it. Through these clips, there is sliceable placed a ring. The ring surrounds all but one of the lug nuts and lies within the offset along an outer circumference of the lug nuts. However, the ring loops into the inner circumference of proximal one of the lug nuts to lengthen or shorten the ring. The ring can then be crimped to tighten the ring against the lug nuts. A spring can also be provided to surround all of the lug nuts along the outer circumference. Prior to placing the wheel liner on the wheel, the ring can be set at the desired length so that it frictionally fits over the desired lug nuts.
