ABSTRACT:
In this assembly the lockring is made from a flat metal strip crimped at regular intervals to curve the strip into a band. The ends of the band are riveted together to form a circular lockring. This lockring has spring fingers which alternate at different angles from one side of the lockring to grip a flange of a wheel tire rim. The lockring is fixed to a metal trim ring which underlies the outer flange of the wheel tire rim. The attached together lockring and trim ring are assembled with a molded plastic wheel cover by pins on the wheel cover passing through spaced openings in the attached together lockring and trim ring, said pins being either headed over or receiving push clips applied thereto.
