A device for locking the wheel of a vehicle. The device comprises a main module adapted to be attached to the wheel and configured to cover nuts or bolts for attaching the wheel to the vehicle. The device further comprises an insert structure comprising an upper part and a lower part wherein the upper part is rotatably joined to the lower part by an axial joint. The insert structure is further transferable from an open position to a closed position upon rotation of said upper part around said axial joint wherein the insert structure in said open position is adapted for insertion in the wheel concentrically to the axis of rotation of the wheel and wherein the insert structure in said closed position is adapted for fixating the insert structure in said wheel upon transfer to the closed position after insertion in the wheel. The device further comprises a center bolt adapted to be connected through the main module to the lower part of the insert structure by means of a threading as well as a locking mechanism adapted to be arranged in a locking state in which the locking mechanism prevents the center bolt from rotating relative the main module, and in an open state in which the locking mechanism allows the center bolt to rotate relative the main module.

A device for locking the wheel of a vehicle. The device comprises a main module adapted to be attached to the wheel and configured to cover nuts or bolts for attaching the wheel to the vehicle. The device further comprises an insert structure comprising a first part and a second part wherein the first part engages the second part and wherein the insert structure is transferable from a first position to a second position upon compression of a spring. Moreover, the insert structure in said second position is adapted for insertion in the wheel concentrically to the axis of rotation of the wheel and the insert structure in said first position is adapted for fixating the insert structure in said wheel upon transfer to the first position after insertion in the wheel. The device further comprises a center bolt adapted to be connected through the main module to the second part of the insert structure by means of a threading as well as a locking mechanism adapted to be arranged in a locking state in which the locking mechanism prevents the center bolt from rotating relative the main module, and in an open state in which the locking mechanism allows the center bolt to rotate relative the main module.

A security fastener assembly is provided with a cap having a standard tool bearing surface and an attachment portion formed opposite the tool bearing surface. A fastener body has a mating attachment portion formed at a first end along which the cap is secured and a keyed security feature formed adjacent the mating attachment portion. A second end of the fastener body has a threaded fastener portion for securing the fastener assembly to a vehicle. The threaded portion of the fastener body is installed with rotation in a first direction. Engaging the tool bearing surface of the cap and rotating in a second direction opposite the first direction does not rotate the threaded portion of the fastener body. The fastener body is removable with the keyed security feature.

A wheel anti-theft apparatus comprising: a base plate and an outer plate, wherein the base plate comprises a locking pin and stud holes, and wherein the outer plate comprises lug nut security sleeves and a locking pin receiver. The wheel anti-theft apparatus, wherein studs are inserted through the stud holes of the base plate, a wheel is disposed on the base plate with the studs extending through the stud holes of the wheel and the locking pin extending through the center of the wheel, wherein lug nuts are screwed onto the studs, and outer plate is disposed on the wheel, wherein the lug nut security sleeves fit securely over the lug nuts and locking pin extends into the locking pin receiver.

A fastener assembly includes a threaded fastener having a threaded shaft and a head coupled to the threaded shaft, an engagement member having a central cavity and an outer profile having a plurality of notches cut therein to define an engagement feature that is engageable by a torquing member, a retention member configured to engage the engagement member and retain the head of the threaded fastener within the central cavity of the engagement member, and a lower base threaded on the threaded shaft and into abutment with the engagement member and/or the retention member.

A mounting wheel (3) for a motor vehicle comprising an internal surface (2) and an external surface (4), the internal surface (2) not being visible when the mounting wheel (3) is mounted on the motor vehicle, and at least one fixing element (7) configured to attach the mounting wheel (3) to the motor vehicle. The fixing element (7) is arranged on the internal surface (2) of the mounting wheel (3) so that the fixing element (7) is not visible when the mounting wheel (3) is mounted on the motor vehicle.

A vehicle wheel assembly includes a brake rotor and a wheel lock. The brake rotor has at least one of a plurality of studs and a plurality of threaded openings disposed at a rim. The brake rotor has a first lock opening that is spaced of the plurality of studs and the plurality of threaded openings. The wheel lock is received by the first lock opening when the wheel lock is installed to the brake rotor.

The invention relates to a wheel cover (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a first cover element (2), configured to be mounted to an axle assembly (3) of the motor vehicle, the first cover element (2) comprising a hole (2′) through which a hub (3) of the axle assembly (3) is accessible. The wheel cover (1) comprises a second cover element (4), which is detachably connected to the first cover element (2) and covers the hole (2′), when connected to the first cover element (2).

A wheel cover includes: a cover body having an engagement hole and configured to cover a design face of a wheel; and a cover fastener that is inserted through the engagement hole. A primary attachment member of the cover fastener includes: a supporter that supports a periphery of the engagement hole; a cylindrical portion that is inserted in a hub hole formed in the wheel; a coupler that couples the supporter and the cylindrical portion; and a hook extending from the cylindrical portion to an outer circumferential side of the cylindrical portion, the hook being contactable with an inner circumferential portion of the hub hole at a position spaced apart from an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion. A secondary attachment member of the cover fastener has an insertion portion that is inserted in a space formed between the hook and the outer circumferential surface.
