ABSTRACT:
A universal mount for tire rims includes a plurality of clips mounted on the inside periphery of a wheel cover. An alternate first type of clip is a clip member mounted in a clip housing and spring loaded with an arcuate proximal termination portion designed to fit over a peripheral surface on a wheel. Opposite vertical spaced apart channels contain coil springs. As the clip member is raised, the springs are compressed and assist in holding the proximal portion over a wheel rim. In a second type of clip, the arcuate proximal termination portion has a vertical wall attached at right angles to a plate that contains a threaded screw. A lower portion of the clip member has a pair of feet that can press down on a pair of coil springs in a pair of vertical chambers. The threaded screw prevents free vertical movements of the clip member. The second alternate type of clip is used to positively lock a wheel cover over a peripheral surface of a wheel rim.
