ABSTRACT:
A wheel cover retainer device is disclosed which utilizes a retainer ring for attaching a wheel cover to the wheel rim of a vehicle. The retainer ring is attached to the vehicle wheel rim by holes which receive the lug nuts or studs of the vehicle wheel. Two anti-rotation locks are provided which prevent the retainer ring from rotating off of the wheel rim and otherwise fasten the retainer ring to the wheel rim. The first anti-rotation lock has a substantially inverted V-shaped portion for producing an outward spring force. The ends of the V-shaped portion may have an edge surface and a crescent for engaging the retainer ring and lug nut, respectively. The second anti-rotation lock comprises a substantially planar portion with a hole for engaging a stud and a hook for engaging a neighboring hole on the retainer ring.
