A wheel end temperature monitoring system, includes: a wheel end temperature sensor configured to detect the temperature of a hub bearing of a wheel of a trailer; and a main unit configured to receive a signal of the wheel end temperature sensor and transmit the received signal to the outside.

A cap for retaining a wheel trim with a wheel includes a body portion which slides inside a central opening defined by a hub portion of the wheel trim. The body portion has a first end and a second end. The cap includes at least one engagement portion coupled to the body portion. The at least one engagement portion engages with an internal wall of the hub portion. The cap includes at least one retaining tab coupled to the body portion towards the second end of the body portion. The at least one retaining tab extends radially outwards from the second end of the body portion. The cap further includes a holding portion coupled to the body portion towards the first end. The holding portion extends radially outwards from the body portion such that the holding portion abuts a disc portion of the wheel trim.

A cap configured to be connected to a wheel having a hub and a series of openings configured to receive fasteners attaching the wheel to a vehicle. The cap includes a disc defining a series of openings. The number of openings in the cap is less than the number of openings in the wheel. Each opening in the cap is configured to align with a corresponding opening in the wheel. Additionally, the cap is configured to conceal a remainder of the openings in the wheel that are not aligned with the openings in the cap.

The present invention is an electronic hub device that comprises a frame mounted on a pole structure of an object. Frame comprises one or more sensors configured to detect one or more events around electronic hub device, and a plurality of light sources installed along a boundary of frame configured to illuminate a portion of frame within boundary of frame. Portion of frame includes promotional content selected based on user preferences. Frame further comprises a processor configured to activate plurality of light sources upon detection of one or more events.

Provided is a smart wheel cap for a vehicle, including: a front cover emitting light to the outside and including a cover body and an LED light emitting window mounted on a front border of the cover body; a cap including a cap-shaped cap body which is mounted on a back side of the front cover, and has the back side opened, and is transparent or translucent and a primary bearing mounted on a front inside of the cap body; a generator unit including a stator unit mounted on the back side of the cap and not rotating together with the front cover or cap and a rotor unit rotating together with the front cover or cap; and a rear cover coupled with the front cover and fixing locations of the cap and the generator unit, and having a mounting hook mounted on a wheel, provided on a back.

Systems, apparatus, devices, brackets, assemblies, and methods for a wheel hub with interchangeable caps for changing the appearance of wheels having exposed lug nuts about a center hole. A bracket invention having both a small cap and a large cap can be used on an existing wheel which exposes a center hole and the lug nuts. A smaller cap can be used to cover only the center hole of the wheel. A larger cap can be used to cover both the center hole and the exposed lug nuts on the wheel. An adapter ring can be used for OEM (original equipment manufacturer) wheels to allow for using the base that allows for either a small cap or large cap to be interchangeably used to change the exterior appearance of the wheel. The bracket can be integrated with the wheel, or be attachable onto the wheel. The caps can be mounted and dismounted by pressing and rotating spring biased emblems with either ball bearings or studs from the bases.

Sealing device for a wheel hub assembly provided with a rolling bearing, the sealing device being provided with a shield mounted on an outer ring of the bearing and with an annular cylindrical wall having an inner lateral surface mounted on an outer lateral surface of a collar of the outer ring; and with a sealing material fixed to the shield and defined by a pre-formed annular covering of polymer material, preferably but not necessarily rubber or thermoplastic material, formed independently and separately from the shield and mounted on the shield.

A device for locking a wheel of a vehicle is disclosed, comprising a main module, a center bolt, an expander and a locking mechanism. The main module comprises a plurality of elements configured to cover nuts or bolts of the wheel. The center bolt is adapted to be connected to the main module by means of a threading such that the axial position of the center bolt, as seen along the axis of rotation of the wheel, can be adjusted by rotating the center bolt relative the main module, and such that the expander expands in a radial direction of the wheel as the axial position of the center bolt is adjusted. The expander is thereby allowed to engage with the wheel to secure the device to said wheel.

A vehicle including at least one wheel and at least one hub assembly associated with the at least one wheel. The at least one hub assembly includes a hubcap. The hubcap has a transparent body configured for housing a lubricant, a fill port, and at least one continuous indication feature such that a lubricant volume is indicated in any orientation of the hubcap.
