An improved snap-on automotive wheel cover overlay and method for manufacturing the same, comprising a rigid polymer hook-shaped member extending from an upper end of a flange, wherein said flange is protruding from the rear inward area side of the wheel cover overlay of the present invention and protruding continuously along a right-rigid polymer longitudinal portion and a rigid-right polymer upper arm edge which form a geometric orientation that permits the flanges of the wheel cover overlay of the present invention when inserted into through holes bearing the corresponding shapes of said flanges to firmly attached to a rear surface area of a manufacturer's or aftermarket's wheel cover when snapped into place; and protruding continuously along a left-rigid polymer longitudinal portion and a left-rigid polymer upper arm edge which form a geometric orientation that permits flanges of the wheel cover overlay of the present invention when inserted into through holes bearing the corresponding shapes of said flanges to firmly attach to the rear surface of a manufacturer's or after market's wheel cover when snapped into place. In addition, 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.

Implementations disclosed and claimed herein provide a wheel cover system. In one implementation, an inward force exerted against a wheel cover of the wheel cover assembly in an inward direction towards the hub is received. The inward force overcomes a spring bias of a spring of the receiver and translates the wheel cover assembly in the inward direction. A first rotational force rotating the wheel cover assembly in a first direction is received. The first post guides and engages the first hook, and the second post guides and engages the second hook during rotation. A first positive feedback is generated in response to the inward force and the first rotational force. The wheel cover assembly is releaseably locked to the receiver by translating the wheel cover assembly in the outward direction using an outward force generated by the spring bias. The outward force provides a second positive feedback.

The present invention refers to a security device for a vehicle bearing device. (1), which is manufactured in order to increase the level of safety for the prevention of removal of a rolling medium of a motor vehicle as it can be a compact, medium-sized vehicle, pick-up, among other segments of vehicles and that includes a fixing unit (100), a mechanism for closing and opening (200), which inside has a combination core (300) which in turn has a configuration with synchrony and unique combination to obtain the opening thereof.

The invention concerns wheel center cap assemblies that include an adapter and a wheel center cap that registers with, or is integral with, the adapter. In some embodiments, the adapter includes tracks and lug sleeves that couple with lugs of the vehicle wheel. Each of the lug sleeves is slidably coupled to each of the tracks of the adapter, and each of the lug sleeves is adapted to move along a length of the tracks; this helps ensure that the adapter is universally compatible with multiple wheel models. In other embodiments, an adapter has a body adapted to be inserted within the center aperture of the wheel. A posterior support registers with the adapter and is sandwiched between a rotor of the vehicle and the wheel to secure the adapter inside the aperture of the wheel; a removable wheel center cap registers with the adapter to adorn the wheel.

The invention relates to a device for attaching a balancing weight (2) to a mounting surface (17) on an inner side (3) of a rim dish of a wheel rim (4) and provides for a mounting head (1) to be dimensioned in such a way that it fits into the rim dish. The mounting head (1) includes a support element (5), which is radially displaceable relative to the wheel rim (4) and on which a feeler element (6) is axially movably arranged, the feeler element (6) having a convex contact surface (14) and a receptacle (12) for at least one balancing weight (2), said receptacle being oriented towards the inner side (3). The mounting head (1) is configured in such a way that the contact surface (14) may be brought into contact with a boundary surface (18) of the inner side (3), and may be displaced along said boundary surface until the balancing weight (2) comes radially into contact with the mounting surface (17).

Hubcap (1) for a wheel (2) with a floating tyre seat, the said wheel (2) having a rim comprising a tyre seat (253) extended axially outwards by a flange (254), the tyre seats (253) being radially floating, the said hubcap comprising a central edge (11) and an exterior periphery (12), in which the said central edge (11) comprises fixing elements for attaching to the rigid part of the wheel and in which the said central edge (11) is connected to the said exterior periphery (12) by an intermediate sector that is deformable so that the exterior periphery (12) can be moved at least radially inwards with respect to the central edge (11).

A wheel assembly that provides a simulated center lock wheel look that also enables exchanging of ornamental face plates with a center hub attachment device that will allow car enthusiasts to easily change the look of their automotive wheels while maintaining a center lock wheel appearance. The assembly includes three components: a base wheel, a plurality of ornamental face plates, and a center hub attachment extending from one of either the hub or the ornamental face plate.

A wheel cover assembly for a vehicle wheel may include a cover body having a cover body outer surface, a cover body inner surface, and a cover body outer edge having an outer diameter that is greater than an inner diameter of a stiffener rib extending inward from an inner surface of the wheel rim and less than an inner diameter of an open end flange of the wheel rim. The wheel cover assembly may further include a cover mounting mechanism operatively connected to the cover body and having a locking position wherein the cover mounting mechanism engages the stiffener rib when the cover body inner surface is facing and engaging the stiffener rib and a cover locking position wherein the cover mounting mechanism engages the stiffener rib to secure the wheel cover assembly to the vehicle wheel.

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

The present application provides a wheel bolt hole protection plug placing device, which includes a frame, a lifting cylinder, guiding shafts, high precision linear bearings, a flange, a connecting shaft, a roller way, a bracket, a first base, a first bearing, a first sleeve, a rotating cylinder with braking function, an end cap, a second base, a second bearing, a second sleeve, a shaft, first linear bearings, contactors, springs, a synchronous cam, a gland, a visual sensor, a mounting frame, a first linear guiding rail, a first guiding rail sliding seat, a first screw nut, a first screw, a first servo motor and so on.
