ABSTRACT:
A dust shield plate is clamped between the spider of an automotive vehicle wheel and the rotor of a disc brake for that wheel. This plate covers the axially inboard side of the wheel spider and prevents dust given off by the disc brake from getting on the wheel at the axially outboard side of the wheel spider. The shield plate has a circular peripheral edge which slidably engages the inside of the wheel at its tire-supporting rim and circumferentially spaced slits extending inward from this edge to provide flexible and resilient fingers in succession along the periphery. This enables the shield plate to be slidably inserted into wheels with somewhat different inside diameters.
The shield plate has seven arcuate openings enabling it to be mounted on a wheel with four or five wheels studs or four wheels studs and two guide pins.
