ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a non-rotary cover assembly for the wheels of a vehicle mounted on fixed axles. The assembly is mounted on a shaft assembly connected to the spindle of the wheel. An adjustable bushing on the shaft assembly positions the cover assembly from the vehicle wheel in accordance with the width of the wheel rim from the wheel hub. The wheel cover assembly includes a plate which is connected to the vehicle wheel and carries a bearing assembly which allows rotation of the wheel without rotating the wheel cover of the assembly. The wheel cover has an opening on the forward facing surface of the cover to permit the flow of air into the underside of the cover and direct the air flow over the brake area and drum assembly of the vehicle during the forward movement of the vehicle. The present invention will also direct air toward the electric motors on vehicles of the future which will be powered by batteries in lieu of combustion engines. The present invention includes a second embodiment wherein the wheel cover consists of removable or replaceable air scoop portion and a mating air directing portion.
