本考案は自動車等の車両の車輪用ホイールキャップの取
付構造の改良に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in the mounting structure of a hubcap for a wheel of a vehicle such as an automobile.
従来、一般的に採用されているホイールキャップの取付

直角にホイールキャップ５を押付けて該係止縁６を前記
ホイールナツト４のテーパ部４ａに係合、固定している
。The mounting structure of a wheel cap that has been generally adopted in the past will be explained with reference to FIG. 1. 1 is a shaft, 2 is a hub, 3 is a road wheel fixed to the hub 2 with a plurality of wheel nuts 4, and 5 is a wheel cap mounting structure. A wheel cap is shown that is attached to the wheel nut 4 to decorate the area around which the knob 2 is attached.The periphery of the wheel cap 50 is bent inward to form a locking edge 6, and is attached to the road wheel 3. The wheel cap 5 is pressed substantially perpendicularly to the wheel nut 4 so that the locking edge 6 is engaged with and fixed to the tapered portion 4a of the wheel nut 4.
ところで、かかる従来の構造では前述のようにホイール

付けて係止縁６を弾性変形させてホイールナツト４に係
着するため、該係止縁６のホイールナツト４との係合部
分が塑性変形したり亀裂を生じる督それがあった。By the way, in this conventional structure, as described above, the wheel cap 5 is pressed against the road wheel 3 from the right angle direction to elastically deform the locking edge 6 to lock it to the wheel nut 4. The engagement portion with the wheel nut 4 may be plastically deformed or cracked.
また、このようにホイールキャップ係止縁６の弾性変形
を利用して該係止縁６の曲げ方向に力を加えてホイール
ナツト４に着、脱するため該係止縁６が長期に亘る使用
により次第に拡径して外れ易くなるという欠点があった
。In addition, since the wheel cap locking edge 6 is attached to and removed from the wheel nut 4 by applying force in the bending direction of the locking edge 6 by utilizing the elastic deformation of the wheel cap locking edge 6, the locking edge 6 can be used for a long period of time. This has the disadvantage that it gradually expands in diameter and becomes easy to come off.
更に、ホイールキャップ５をホイールナツト４に押付け
て係着するため、該ホイールナツト４の前側にも膨大部
４ｂを形成して係着し易いようにする必要があり、この
結果ホイールナツト４の加工コストが高くついてしまう
等の不具合を生じていた。Furthermore, since the wheel cap 5 is pressed against and engaged with the wheel nut 4, it is necessary to form an enlarged portion 4b on the front side of the wheel nut 4 to facilitate engagement. This resulted in problems such as high costs.
図中７はタイヤを示す。本考案はかかる従来の欠点に鑑

である。In the figure, 7 indicates a tire. In view of these conventional drawbacks, the present invention intermittently forms a plurality of arc-shaped locking edges on the circumference of the wheel cap, and by pushing the wheel cap against the road wheel, the locking edges are connected to the corresponding wheel nuts. This reduces the occurrence of plastic deformation of the locking edge, and when the wheel cap is properly installed, it is positioned and prevents the wheel cap from accidentally turning or falling off. The stress on the locking pawl is relaxed and permanent deformation of the locking edge can be prevented.
以下、本考案の実施例を図面と共に詳述する。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
即ち、本考案にあっては第２，３図に示すようにホイー
ルキャップ１００周縁にホイールナツト４数と同数の弧
状係止縁１１を間欠的に内方に向けて曲折成形しである
。That is, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the same number of arcuate locking edges 11 as four wheel nuts are intermittently bent inward on the periphery of the wheel cap 100.
これら係止縁１１の両側端部はホイールナツト４のテー
パ部４ａに押し回しによって乗り上げ易いように丸みを
もって形成しである。Both end portions of these locking edges 11 are rounded so that they can easily ride on the tapered portion 4a of the wheel nut 4 by pushing and turning.
また、前記係止縁１１の一つにはその中央部にホイール
ナツトテーパ部４ａに係合して回り止めを行う位置決め
溝１２を切欠形成しである。Further, one of the locking edges 11 has a positioning groove 12 formed in the center thereof to engage with the wheel nut taper portion 4a to prevent rotation.

に係合して正規位置に固定する。When installing the wheel cap 10 having such a structure, it is necessary to
3 to the fixing part of the wheel nut 4, press the wheel cap 10 against the road wheel 3 and rotate it while giving it flex, so that the locking edge 11 rides on the tapered part 4a of the corresponding wheel nut 4 and engages. Then, rotate further to align the positioning groove 12 with the tapered portion 4a of the wheel nut 4.
to secure it in the correct position.
従って、この実施例ではホイールキャップ１００着、脱
に際しては、該ホイールキャップ１０の押し回しにより
ホイールナツト４との係合時には各係止縁１１に対して
強度的に有利な圧縮方向の力が作用するので該係止縁１
１の塑性変形の発生の度合いを著しく減少することがで
きるのである。Therefore, in this embodiment, when attaching or removing the wheel cap 100, by pushing and turning the wheel cap 10, a force in a compressive direction that is advantageous in terms of strength is applied to each locking edge 11 when it engages with the wheel nut 4. Therefore, the locking edge 1
The degree of occurrence of plastic deformation in No. 1 can be significantly reduced.
また、正規取付状態では位置決め溝１２がホイールナツ

形を防止できるのである。In addition, in the properly installed state, the positioning groove 12 engages with the tapered portion 4a of the wheel nut 4 to prevent rotation, thereby preventing the wheel cap 10 from accidentally rotating and falling off when the wheel nut 4 is mounted. Moreover, in this normal mounting position, the positioning groove 12 sinks into the wheel nut 4, so the stress on each locking edge 11 is relieved, thereby preventing permanent deformation of the locking edge 11.
第４，５図に示す実施例はホイールキャップ１０周縁を
ホイールナツト４の内側に係着してハブ２装着部のみを
カバーするようにしたものを示す。In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the peripheral edge of the wheel cap 10 is engaged with the inside of the wheel nut 4 to cover only the mounting portion of the hub 2.
従って、この実施例では弧状係止縁１１をホイールキャ

この実施例のホイールキャラ１１００着脱操作並に機能
は前記実施例と全く同様である。The operation of attaching and detaching the wheel character 1100 and the functions of this embodiment are completely the same as those of the previous embodiment.

きる等、数々の実用上の効果を有する０As described above, according to the present invention, when attaching or detaching the wheel cap, pushing and turning the wheel cap intermittently applies a force in the direction of buckling that is advantageous for strength to the arcuate locking edge, thereby attaching and detaching the wheel cap to and from the wheel nut. This makes it possible to reduce the degree of plastic deformation of the locking edge, and since the positioning groove engages with the wheel nut and prevents rotation when the wheel cap is installed in its normal mounting position, there is no need to worry about it falling off. , the engagement between the positioning groove and the wheel nut relieves the stress on each locking edge and prevents permanent deformation of the locking edge.
