Abstract

The plastics wheel trim fs moulded in one piece with the fasteners (6) to grip holes in the wheel disc. No fitting tools are required nor any other fasteners. The outside shape of the trim is convex to provide a sprung hold in the wheel disc. The fasteners are simple hooks (6) in the bottoms of moulded recesses in the trim (4) to reach the wheel disc. Tooling holes (8) adjacent to the hooks enable the hooks to be prised off the wheel disc by inserting a probe. The trim is coloured to suit the vehicle.

Description

Radkappe für FahrzeugräderHubcap for vehicle wheels

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Radkappe aus Kunststoff für Fahrzeugräder, an der Halteelemente zum Befestigen an einer Radschüssel angebracht sind.The invention relates to a hubcap made of plastic for vehicle wheels, are attached to the holding elements for fastening to a wheel disc.

Es sind eine große Anzahl von Befestigungen für Radkappen, -blenden oder Nabenkappen bekannt, die jedoch zum Teil sehr aufwendig in der Herstellung und zum Teil umständlich in der Handhabung sind, wobei für die Montage oder Demontage Werkzeuge erforderlich sind. Verschiedene Blenden oder Kappen neigen beim Drehen des Rades zum Klappern.There are a large number of attachments for hubcaps and trims or hub caps are known, but some of them are very expensive to manufacture and some of them are awkward to use, for assembly or disassembly Tools are required. Different bezels or caps tilt when turning the wheel rattles.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine verbesserte Befestigung für Radkappen bzw. -blenden bzw. Nabenkappen zu schaffen, die einfach und leicht ist und mit der eine Kappe bzw. Blende ohne Werkzeug montiert oder demontiert werden kann. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.The object of the invention is to provide an improved fastening for hub caps or covers or hub caps to create that simple and easy and with which a cap or cover can be assembled or disassembled without tools can. This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.

Ein Vorteil der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Radkappe besteht darin, daß die Halteelemente mit der Radkappe unmittelbar verbunden sind und sich zusätzliche Federn erübrigen. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung kann die Radkappe unter Vorspannung an der Radschüssel eines Fahrzeugrades angebracht werden.One advantage of the hub cap designed according to the invention is that that the holding elements are directly connected to the hubcap and additional No need for springs. The inventive design, the hub cap can under Bias to be attached to the wheel disc of a vehicle wheel.

Die Halteelemente sind an der der Radscheibe zugewandten Seite mit schrägen Flächen versehen, wodurch es möglich ist, eine Radkappe ohne Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeugen mühelos in die entsprechenden Löcher einer Radscheibe einzuführen und zu montieren. Die Halteelemente sind so in der Radkappe integriert, daß eine additive Wirkung der Federungseigenschaften erfolgt. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, daß die Radkappe ausreichend vorgespannt Ist. Die konvexe bzw. Dachform der Abdeckungsgrundform ist derart dimensioniert, daß zur Montage bei starkem axialem Druck von Hand gegen die konvexe Form die Kappe eine etwa ebene Form annimmt, wobei die fingerförmigen Halteelemente soweit radial nach außen schwenken, daß die Radkappe ohne jegliches Werkzeug demontiert werden kann. Der axiale Toleranzausgleich erfolgt durch einen entsprechend großen Federweg. Durch die glatte äußere Gestalt der Kappe werden Beul-, Verletzungs- und Unfal lgefahren vermieden.The holding elements are on the side facing the wheel disc provided inclined surfaces, which makes it possible to use a hubcap without assistance easily insert tools into the corresponding holes of a wheel disc and assemble. The holding elements are integrated in the hubcap that a additive effect of the suspension properties takes place. This ensures that the hubcap is sufficiently pretensioned. The convex or roof shape of the basic cover shape is dimensioned in such a way that for assembly under strong axial pressure by hand against the convex shape, the cap assumes an approximately flat shape, the Swivel finger-shaped retaining elements radially outward so that the hubcap can be dismantled without any tools. The axial tolerance compensation takes place by a correspondingly large spring deflection. Due to the smooth outer shape of the cap dents, injuries and accidents are avoided.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung nachfolgend näher erläutert: Fig. 1 zeigt eine auf einer Radscheibe befestigte Radkappe im Querschnitt entsprechend der Schnittlinie I-I der Fig. 2 und Fig. 2 die Radkappe in Ansicht von außen ohne Radscheibe.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing explained: Fig. 1 shows a wheel cap attached to a wheel disc in cross section according to the section line I-I of FIGS. 2 and 2, the wheel cap in a view from the outside without wheel disc.

An einer teilweise dargestellten Radscheibe 1 sind im Bereich der Spiegelfläche 2 Zusatzlöcher 3 vorgesehen, die zur Befestigung einer Radkappe 5 dienen. Die Radkappe 5 ist mit Vertiefungen 4 versehen, an deren Außenseite, die der Radscheibe 1 zugekehrt ist, Halteelemente 7 mit Haken 6 angebracht sind. Neben den Halteelementen 7 sind in den Vertiefungen 4 Durchbrüche 8 vorgesehen. Die Haken 6 sind hierbei zur radial inneren Seite der Radscheibe 1 gerichtet und greifen nach der Montage hinter die Spiegelfläche 2 der Radscheibe 1.On a partially shown wheel disc 1 are in the area of Mirror surface 2 additional holes 3 are provided, which are used to attach a hub cap 5 to serve. The wheel cap 5 is provided with recesses 4, on the outside of which facing the wheel disc 1, holding elements 7 with hooks 6 are attached. Next to the holding elements 7 4 openings 8 are provided in the depressions. The hook 6 are directed towards the radially inner side of the wheel disk 1 and follow the assembly behind the mirror surface 2 of the wheel disc 1.

Durch Drücken auf den mittleren Teil 9 der Radkappe 5 kann eine Verformung der gesammten Radkappe 5 derart erzielt werden, daß die Haken 6 in die Zusatzlöcher 3 der Radscheibe 1 schwenken und die Radkappe 5 abgenommen werden kann. Die Montage der Radkappe 5 erfolgt mit umgekehrter Funktion, nachdem die Radkappe 5 auf eine Radscheibe 1 in geeigneter Weise aufgesetzt wurde durch Andrücken, wobei die Haken in die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Lage schwenken.Pressing on the middle part 9 of the hub cap 5 can cause deformation the entire wheel cap 5 can be achieved in such a way that the hooks 6 in the additional holes 3 pivot the wheel disc 1 and the wheel cap 5 can be removed. The assembly the hub cap 5 takes place with the opposite function, after the hub cap 5 on a Wheel disc 1 was placed in a suitable manner by pressing, with the hook Pivot into the position shown in FIG.

Bei größeren Radkappen 5 werden die Halteelemente 7 radial geschlitzt, um eine größere Elastizität zu erreichen. An der Innenseite können die Haken 6 kegelstumpfartig ausgebildet werden, um die Montage zu erleichtern.With larger hubcaps 5, the retaining elements 7 are radially slotted, to achieve greater elasticity. On the inside, the hooks 6 can be frustoconical be designed to facilitate assembly.
