Abstract: A one way free spinning hubcap assembly that allows a vehicle's hubcaps to freely spin in one direction independent of the rotation of the associated wheel. For example, when a vehicle using the invention accelerates or maintains its forward velocity the vehicles hubcaps are forced to spin at the same rate as the wheels. However, when the vehicle then slows or stops the hubcaps are free to continue spinning independently of the motion of the wheels.

Abstract: A wheel assembly includes a wheel rim, a hub radially spaced from the wheel rim, a plurality of spoke units interconnecting the hub and the wheel rim. Left and right spoke-covering members are mounted respectively on left and right ends of the hub and abutting against and cooperating with each other to confine a spoke-receiving space for receiving the spoke units Each of the spoke-covering members has a central portion extending radially from the hub, and a plurality of equi-angularly spaced apart blade portions extending radially from the central portion of each of the left and right spoke-covering members to the wheel rim. A fastener fastens the spoke-covering members to prevent removal of the same from the hub and the wheel rim.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel and overlay assembly having an overlay that extends radially outward to cover substantially the entire outboard surface of the wheel, without wrapping around the periphery of the wheel. The assembly includes a wheel having a rim flange that terminates in a flange lip having a radially outermost edge. An overlay is attached to and closely contours the wheel outboard surface and radially terminates in a peripheral flange that has a peripheral lip with a radially outermost edge that is aligned with the outermost edge of the wheel flange lip within a predetermined circumferential margin so that the peripheral flange covers at least a portion of the wheel flange lip. This configuration gives the visible impression that this is a one-piece wheel, where the outboard surface of the overlay appears to be the outboard surface of the wheel, and not a separate component.

Abstract: Wheel covers are removably attached to a spoked wheel vehicle to provide, identity, protection, illumination and audible sound for safety and pride of ownership. The wheel covers are shaped as disks placed on opposite sides of a wheel. Fasteners on each disk engage the spokes of the wheel to secure the wheel covers in place.

Abstract: An ornamental wheel cover integrally retained on the lug nuts of a vehicle wheel that provides positive positioning of the cover to the lug nuts. The cover is provided with a number of elongated tubular extensions axially projecting therefrom that are each partially slotted to provide a plurality of cantilevered fingers. Each finger has an undercut groove that positively positions the cover to the lug nuts of the wheel. When the cover is attached to the wheel, the elongated tubular extensions are aligned with the lug nuts and the cover is moved axially inwardly of the wheel so that the cantilevered fingers separate slightly as they pass over the flange of the lug nut. The wheel cover further includes a wire band retainer to bias the innermost cantilevered fingers into continual engagement with the lug nuts, even during temperatures that would otherwise cause the plastic to distort due to heat creep.

Abstract: A plurality of elastic, deformable fixing pieces (22) the front end (22a) of each of which is engaged with a second curved concave part (16) of a rim (14), are disposed on the reverse side (21a) of a cover body (21) made of synthetic resin, and a plurality of engagement convex parts (23) that are engaged with engagement holes (26) of the fixing piece (22), respectively, and maintain a state in which the fixing pieces (22) are curved are disposed on the reverse side (21a) thereof. Each fixing piece (22) and each engagement convex part (23) that are the fixing means of the wheel cover (20) are formed integrally with the cover body (21) made of synthetic resin, and all the wheel cover (20) is made of synthetic resin, and therefore recyclability can be improved. Additionally, since other members, such as wire rings, are not needed, weight saving can be achieved.
