ABSTRACT:
A covering for air-permeable light-alloy rims of motor vehicles protects the disc brake lying behind against salt corrosion during overseas transport for long periods. In order to be able to fit such a covering easily and remove it again just as easily, but also to be able nevertheless to fasten it securely to the vehicle wheel, the covering is configured as an inherently rigid, round, closed molded sheet which reaches over the outer side of the light-alloy rim, covering its surface area, as far as over the rim flange. The covering is clasped centrally on the vehicle wheel by fastening studs molded into the molded sheet to the wheel bolts
uts or the correspondingly countersunk depressions. The fastening studs are adapted in terms of number, position and shape to the wheel bolts or nuts themselves or to the countersunk depressions provided for this purpose in the rims. A grip for manually pulling the molded sheet off the light-alloy rim after use is molded on centrally in the molded sheet. At least in the region close to the center, the molded sheet is stiffened by molded-in peripherally and radially running beads. In the radial region of the filling valve, a circumferential channel, reaching beyond the filling valve, is molded into the molded sheet formed from a rigid sheet of thermoplastic.
