Car Wheel Rim Decoration Cover Fastening Structure
20230331036 · 2023-10-19 ·

A car wheel rim decoration cover fastening structure includes a wheel rim, a locking ring, a wheel rim cover, and a central cap. The wheel rim has a rim body and a central hole. The wheel rim has an inner flange formed in the central hole. The locking ring is mounted in the central hole of the wheel rim and locked on the inner flange of the wheel rim. The wheel rim cover has multiple locking blocks secured to the rim body of the wheel rim. The wheel rim cover corresponds to the locking ring. The central cap extends through the center of the wheel rim cover and is locked on the inside of the locking ring. The central cap presses the wheel rim cover. Thus, the wheel rim cover is fixed and will not be detached.

Vehicle wheel cover retention system
11787230 · 2023-10-17 ·

The vehicle wheel cover retention system comprises a wheel including a first hub hole provided therein which has a retention member formed in a generally axially extending portion thereof. The wheel cover includes a second hub hole provided therein. The second hub hole includes an annular axially extending segmented projection. The segmented projection includes a chamfered outer circumferential surface and a shoulder provided thereon. During assembly, the segmented projection deflects radially inward as the wheel cover is initially installed and moved toward the retention member and then as the wheel cover is further advanced the segmented projection moves radially outward to enable the shoulder to engage the retention member to thereby secure the wheel cover to the wheel. The center cap includes an annular axially extending projection. The center cap is then installed and its annular extending projection engages with the inside of the segmented projection of the wheel cover, thus preventing it to further deflect radially inward and thereby locking the wheel cover to the wheel.
