ABSTRACT:
An ornamental wheel cover having a funnel shaped member provided with at least three radially projecting tabs. Each of the tabs has a hole therethrough for registration on the threaded studs to which the wheel is fixedly mounted to rotate with the wheel. Nuts positionally lock the radially projecting tabs on the studs wherein the central axis of the funnel shaped member is coincident with the axis of the axle and the locking pin. The funnel shaped member has an intermediate cylindrical portion which terminates in an inwardly flaring conical portion to surround the end of the axle. The conical portion has a slot therethrough for receiving the radially extending pin member when the locking pin is pressed inwardly against the biasing force of the spring. The radially extending pin member engages an outwardly facing detent formed on the inner surface of the conical portion positioned perpendicularly to the slot provided through the conical portion. The detent is semi-circular and has substantially the same radius of curvature as the radially extending pin member such that the locking pin is lockingly positioned when the radially extending pin member comes to rest in the semi-circular detent thereby positively locking the wheel cover to the funnel shaped member.
