Aspects of the present disclosure involve a wheel cover configured to streamline a wheel of a motor vehicle. In one implementation, the wheel cover includes a unit that mounts and dismounts to the hub of a wheel of a vehicle without brackets, bolts, and assembly kits. The wheel cover system may include a circular cover that covers the center of the wheel hub. An engaging structure may include one or more hooks opposed from each other with small access ports to facilitate mounting and dismounting of the wheel cover on the wheel hub. To cover the wheel hub, the wheel cover system is placed over the wheel hub and the four hooks are engaged to latch onto a back edge of the wheel hub. Through the simple activation of the hooks, the wheel cover system may be easily mounted and dismounted on the wheel hub.

The present invention is intended to provide a protective cover, comprising an inner ring 12 with an inner ring track surface 12A on an outer peripheral surface; an outer ring 13 with an outer ring track surface 13A on an inner peripheral surface; a bearing with rolling elements 14 between the inner ring track surface 12A and the outer ring track surface 13A; a magnetic encoder 8 that is positioned at one axial end portion of the bearing and fixed to the inner ring 12; and a magnetic sensor that is fixed to the outer ring 13, a cup-shaped protective cover 1 press-fitted into the outer ring 13 to cover the magnetic encoder 8 and intervene between the magnetic encoder 8 and the magnetic sensor is formed by performing cold press molding of an austenitic stainless steel plate material with a nickel content of 8.5 to 13 weight %.

A multi-piece rim structure for a wheel includes a rim base 10, a bead seat ring 20 (ring member) and a lock ring 30. The bead seat ring 20 receives a load in a radial direction and an axial direction from a bead portion of a tire. An annular ridge 35 of the lock ring 30 can be received in an annular lock ring groove 15 of the rim base 10. A receiving groove 15a is formed in an inner surface of the lock ring groove 15 of the rim base 10. A sacrificial anticorrosion material 80 is embedded in the receiving groove 15a. The sacrificial anticorrosion material 80 includes metal such as zinc and aluminum that has a greater ionization tendency than iron that is a base material of the rim base 10 and the lock ring 30. Corrosion of the rim base 10 and the lock ring 30 can be suppressed by ionization of the sacrificial anticorrosion material 80.

The invention relates to a drive wheel for a bike, comprising a rim which is fastened to a hub by means of a plurality of spokes, wherein the spokes are made of reinforcing fibers embedded in resin, the reinforcing fibers of a spoke extending from a first fastening portion at the rim to a second fastening portion offset against the former in the circumferential direction and being guided along the outside of the hub, wherein the hub takes a shape polygonal in cross-section on the outside to which an axial side of each spoke is adjacent. The invention further relates to a bicycle comprising said drive wheel configured as a rear wheel.

The present invention provides a hub cover for a wheel hub on a vehicle used for agriculture and a stud extension piece used to operatively affix the hub cover to the wheel hub. In a preferred embodiment, the hub cover comprises a polyethylene convex dome that is affixed to the wheel hub of the vehicle using a stud extension piece that couples the hub cover to an exposed wheel hub. The use of the hub cover minimizes crop damage caused by the exposed hubs of the vehicle in crop fields.

Wheel center caps and related methods are disclosed herein. An example wheel center cap includes a body, a first protrusion extending radially outward from the body, and a second protrusion extending radially outward from the body. The first and second protrusions define a gap therebetween. The example wheel center cap includes a leg disposed in the gap and coupled to the body. The leg includes a foot. The foot extends radially outward relative to the body. The foot includes a chamfered face facing away from the body.

An improved snap-on automotive wheel cover overlay with extended surround having hook-shaped members for the purpose of securing the wheel cover overlay of the present invention to a damaged manufacturer's wheel cover. The wheel cover overlay of the present invention is further secured by inserting a tension rotation device from the reversed position of a tire into a manufactured in wheel cover overlay tension tabs assembly, and having an extended surround covering the entire rim of a vehicle when installed there on. During manufacturing of the present invention, a three dimensional (3D) scanned imaging of the individual embodiment component parts is generated, after rigorous testing, and is transferred to an injection molding computer to generate the injection molding designed precisely corresponding to each individual component parts of the present invention.

The present invention provides a non-rotating center cap for use with vehicle wheel. The present invention comprises a support, an interlocking device, an ornamental object, and a sealer cap. The support is the part of the non-rotating center cap that affixes to the center bore of a vehicle wheel, the interlocking device is mounted in a depression formed on the support. The interlocking device biases the orientation and prevents the rotation of an ornamental object that is connected to it. The sealer cap is connected to the support, the sealer cap protects the ornamental object from water, dust, debris and oil, the sealer cap prevents movements of the ornamental object that could be caused by winds when the vehicle is in motion. The ornamental object does not rotate when the vehicle is in motion, which allows the ornamental object to be readily visible.

An automobile wheel cover includes a central hole, an adjusting block, a threaded element, and integrally formed with a bearing seat opposite an inner side of the central hole. An annular seat is extended from an inner side of the bearing seat and is defined with a plurality of slots, between each two slots is provided an elastic post. The adjusting block has a small diameter end and a large diameter end and is inserted in the annular seat via the small diameter end. The threaded element is threaded in the adjusting block via the bearing seat. Thereby, when screwing the threaded element, the large diameter end of the adjusting block moves in the annular seat to make the posts expanded outwardly and abutted against the shaft hole, which can apply to the automobile rims with different hole diameters and prevent the automobile wheel cover falling from the automobile rim.

A wireless sensor for a wheel end assembly of a heavy-duty vehicle is provided. The wheel end assembly includes a wheel hub and a hub cap mounted on the wheel hub. The sensor includes mounting means disposed in the hub cap. Sensing means are mounted on the mounting means to sense at least one condition of the vehicle. A processor is mounted on the mounting means and is electrically connected to the sensing means to process data from the sensing means. Communication means are mounted on the mounting means and are electrically connected to the processor to communicate the processed data to a user. An electrical energy storage device is mounted on the mounting means and is electrically connected to the sensing means, the processor and the communication means, enabling the sensor to be independent from the vehicle power supply. The sensor also accommodates components of a tire inflation system.
