ABSTRACT:
An anti-dust and cooling cover adapted for being positionable between a wheel and a brake assembly of a vehicle and being in rotation with the wheel and the brake assembly is disclosed. The cover includes a plate and a wall, and is adapted for substantially surrounding the assembly. The plate has an outer surface, an inner surface, a perimeter, a plurality of holes, and an opening. When the cover is positioned between the wheel and the assembly, the outer surface of the plate is adjacent to the wheel while the inner surface of the plate is adjacent to the assembly. The wall has an outer surface, an inner surface, a plurality of openings along the wall, and a plurality of louvers fixed along the outer surface of the wall. The wall projects perpendicularly from the plate along the perimeter of the plate to form the cover. When the wheel, the assembly, and the cover are in rotation due to the vehicle moving forward, air about the louvers and the openings of the wall is scooped up by the louvers and is drawn into the chamber through the openings of the wall to create air flow.
