ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

Description
108~084 This invention relates to a wheel trim and more - particularly to an improved structure for attachina wheel trims to vehicle wheels.
It has been common practice to utilize one or more trim members which are detachably connected to a vehicle wheel to improve its appearance. Examples of such trim are hub caps and wheel covers. Nearly all vehicle wheels are formed with a plurality of protrusions in in the center portion of the wheel radially outwardly from the mounting holes. These protrusions are intended to cooperate with a hub cap for retention of the hub cap. Such a construction presents several difficulties. The protrusions themselves are difficult to form and, unless the wheel is heavier in this area, tend to weaken it. Therefore, many cost and structural advantages could be achieved if it were not necessary to form these special hub cap mounting protrusions or bosses.
It is, therefore, a principal object of the invention to provide a wheel trim attachment that does not require specially formed wheels.
The attachment lugs of the wheel can be eliminated if the wheel trim is mounted on some other portion of the wheel or wheel assembly. Other attaching mounts are shown in U.S. Letters Patent 2,143,456, entitled "Wheel", issued January 10, 1939 in the name of Charles W. Sinclair and U.S.
Patent 2,217,086, entitled "Vehicle Wheel" issued October 8, 1940 in the name of Clarence Whitacre. The attachment con-struction shown in these patents require special skirted nuts or other specially formed washers at the base of the nut attachment.
The problems of the prior art are overcome with the present invention which broadly provides a wheel trim adapted to cooperate with a headed wheel fastener for affixing the wheel trim relative to a mounted wheel, the wheel trim B ~
comprising a plurality of resilient retention members each adapted to be juxtaposed to a respective headed wheel fastener, said retention members being connected to the remainder of said wheel trim by a resilient section, said resilient section terminating in a gripping surface to engage the headed fastener, the gripping surface comprises a segment of a cone complementary in shape to and adapted to enyage a tapered section at the base of the flats of the headed fastener, said resilient section being operative to yield upon assembly of said wheel trim onto a mounted wheel i so that said gripping surface will resiliently grip the headed fasteners, Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a wheel and mounted hub cap embodying this invention, with portions broken away and other portions removed to more clearly show the construction, Figure 2 is an enlarged view showing the cooperation of the trim attachment with one of the wheel retaining nuts.
Figure 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
In the drawings, the reference numeral 11 indicates generally a portion of a vehicle wheel spider.
Except for the lack of the conventional hub cap retaining lugs, the spider 11 is of conventional construction and has a central opening 12 and a plurality of bolt receiving openings 13. When mounted, a respective stud 14, extends ; through each of the bolt holes 13. The studs 14 are affixed to a brake drum, brake rotor, hub or the like for mounting of the wheel 11 on the associated vehicle, Nuts 15 are threaded onto the studs 14 and have tapered bases 16 _3_ B
1084~84 that cooperate with the holes 13 to locate the wheel 11 and to complete its mounting.
The wheel trim embodying this invention comprises a hub cap, indicated generally by the reference numeral 17 and which is only partially illustrated, In as much as the configuration of the hub cap 17, outside of its retention structure, forms no part of the invention, this construction has not been illustrated. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hub cap 17 is formed from an injection molded plastic such as polypropolene or any other such plastic, preferably which is capable of being plated, In addition to plastics, the hub cap 17 may be formed from any other suitable material having the desired strength and resilience, The hub cap 17 is formed with a circular flange 18 from which a plurality of retention members 19 extend.
In the illustrated embodiment, the retention members 19 are formed integrally with the flange 18, Of course, separate elements molded in place could also be employed, -3a-B
108~(~84 The retention members 19 are comprised of a generally segmented conical shaped section 21 that is substantially complementary in shape to the tapered portion B 16 a~d nuts 15. The conical sections 21 are, however, placed on a somewhat smaller diameter than the diameter circumscribed by the outer surface of the tapered sections 16. Since the sections 21 are attached to the f`lange 18 at only one end and, accordingly, are cantilevered, they are resiliently deflected upon installation. Thus, a resilient gripping force is exerted on the nuts 15.
The sections 21 extend for an arc of approximately 85. As will be noted from an inspection of Figure 3, the sections 21 have sufficient length so as to extend from the tapered portion 16 of the nut into the area of the flats. The 85 arc is sufficient to insure that at least one flat will be engaged. In some instances, engagement with two flats is provided depending upon the angular position of the nut 15 on the stud 14.
The sections 21 terminate in a more sharply curved section 22 that serves as a lock to prevent disassembly through rotation in the clockwise direction relative to the wheel 11 as viewed in Figure 1.
When assembled onto the wheel, the inner peripheral edge 24 of the sections 21 engage the surface of the wheel spider 11 surrounding the bolt holes 13.
This provides axial location of the hub cap 17 relative to the wheel 11. Also, the section 21 is, in effect, trapped between the nut 15 and the surface of the wheel spider 11 to insure rigid retention.
At the end opposite the section 22, a camming surface 25 is provided. The camming surface 25 terminates in a lobe 26 from which the section 21 extends. The surface 25 and lobe 26 are resilient as is the section 21 to permit assembly in the manner now to be described.
To install the hub cap 17 upon the wheel 11, it is rotated to a position wherein the retention members 13 are spaced between the nuts 15. The hub cap 17 is then rotated in a clockwise direction as viewed in Figure 1. The camming surface 25 will then yield and, once the lobe 26 is passed, the cover 17 will slip into engage-ment. As has been previously noted, the sections 22 will prevent overtightening or disassembly .
From the foregoing, it should be readily apparent that a relative simple yet highly effective wheel trim retention is provided by the invention. Furthermore, the retention does not require specially formed wheels. Although the invention has been described in connection with a hub cap, it can be used in attaching any other . form of wheel trim that has at least a portion juxtaposed to the bolt circle.
, It is to be understood that the foregoing description is that of a preferred embodiment of the invention. Various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

The sections 21 extend for an arc of approximately 85.

The 85 arc is sufficient to insure that at least one flat will be engaged. In some instances, engagement with two flats is provided depending upon the angular position of the nut 15 on the stud 14.

This provides axial location of the hub cap 17 relative to the wheel 11. Also, the section 21 is, in effect, trapped between the nut 15 and the surface of the wheel spider 11 to insure rigid retention.
At the end opposite the section 22, a camming surface 25 is provided. The camming surface 25 terminates in a lobe 26 from which the section 21 extends. The surface 25 and lobe 26 are resilient as is the section 21 to permit assembly in the manner now to be described.
To install the hub cap 17 upon the wheel 11, it is rotated to a position wherein the retention members 13 are spaced between the nuts 15. The hub cap 17 is then rotated in a clockwise direction as viewed in Figure 1. The camming surface 25 will then yield and, once the lobe 26 is passed, the cover 17 will slip into engage-ment. As has been previously noted, the sections 22 will prevent overtightening or disassembly .
From the foregoing, it should be readily apparent that a relative simple yet highly effective wheel trim retention is provided by the invention. Furthermore, the retention does not require specially formed wheels. Although the invention has been described in connection with a hub cap, it can be used in attaching any other . form of wheel trim that has at least a portion juxtaposed to the bolt circle.
