ABSTRACT:
Wheel cover for the wheel of a vehicle, comprising a securement and support device (1) secured to the hub (2) or to the rim (3) of the wheel (4) and a substantially flat shield element (5), mounted on the device (1) for rotation and having an asymmetric spacing of its mass relative to its axis of rotation (6), permitting the shield element (5) to maintain a fixed angular position relative to the horizontal, even during rotation of the wheel (4). The securement and support device (1) comprises a base plate (7) fixed to the hub (2) or to the rim (3) of the wheel (4) and a support shaft (9), of cylindrical shape, removably mounted on the base plate (7) and provided with an external circular abutment (17). There is a rotative connection between the securement and support device (1) and the shield element (5) comprised by a roller bearing (13) mounted on the support shaft (9) by an annular intermediate member (26) disposed adjustably between an internal ring (14) of the roller bearing (13) and the support shaft (9), and delimited by a perforated disk (27), whose diameter corresponds substantially to that of the internal ring (14).
