Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a wheel cover which is ornamentally excellent and has a cooling function, by arranging blade parts inclined with respect to the axial direction of the wheel cover. CONSTITUTION:The blade parts 11, 12 of wheel covers 1, 2 are radially arranged, bridging between the outer frame parts 12, 22 and the center parts 13, 23 of the wheel covers, and are integrally formed therewith inclined downward in the right and left direction, respectively. With this arrangement of the wheel covers for vehicles, the blade parts 11, 21 function so that during rotation of the wheel accompanied with the running of the vehicle in one direction the ambient air is sucked into the wheel disk side as shown in the drawing, while during rotation of the wheel in the direction opposite to that shown in the drawing the air is sucked from the wheel disc side and is discharged. Accordingly, heat in the wheel covers themselves and the wheel disk is dissipated to prevent the dwelling of heat.

BACKGROUND ART In general, a wheel cover for a vehicle is formed into a substantially disc shape from a metal plate or synthetic resin, and is attached to cover the disc of a tire wheel. It is not desirable for the wheel cover itself or the inside of the cover to rise in temperature.In other words, the inner surface of the wheel disc has a built-in disc brake, and in that case, if the temperature of the brake part becomes abnormally high, the brake will not work properly. This is because there is a risk that the device may not operate properly and lead to a dangerous situation. Furthermore, if the wheel cover itself is made of a material with relatively poor heat resistance, such as a synthetic resin, there is a risk that it will be thermally deformed as the temperature rises.

However, many conventional wheel covers are formed to cover almost the entire surface of the wheel, and are not formed in a shape that allows heat dissipation.

That is, in the vehicle wheel cover according to the present invention, a plurality of substantially plate-shaped blade portions are installed in a radial manner between an annular outer frame portion and a central portion, and each of the blade portions is attached to the wheel cover. By arranging it at an angle with respect to the axial direction, it is possible to suck in and discharge air according to the direction of rotation, and the entire body including the blade has a wheel-like shape, making it extremely aesthetically pleasing. It is configured.

This vehicle wheel cover is formed by integrally mounting a plurality of blade parts between an annular outer frame part and a disc-shaped central part. The wheel cover body consists of an inner cover 1 and an outer cover 2 which are stacked and fixed to each other with screws or the like, and each blade part 11..., 21... of the inner cover 1.2, 21... ... are combined so that they are arranged differently from each other. Among them, inner cover l is AB
Made by injection molding of synthetic resin such as S,
Outer frame portion 12. The central portion 13 and the blade portions 11 are each integrally molded. Also, like the inner cover 1, the outer cover 2 is integrally formed with an outer frame part 22 and a central part 23 via a blade part 21, and the inner cover 1 is fixed with screws to a boss part molded on the back surface of the outer cover 2. ing. On the back surface of the outer cover 2, adapter parts 24 are integrally molded at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the outer frame part, and the adapter part 24 is attached to the adapter part 24, and the wheel cover body is attached to the inner surface of the tire wheel using a retainer 3. In the illustrated embodiment, a piano wire shaped piece is used as the beam retainer 3, which is configured to be lockable.
Even clip-shaped items can be attached. Blade portions 11..., 21... of each of these covers 1.2
* are arranged radially bridging between the outer frame portion 12.22 and the center portion 13.23, and are integrally molded so as to be inclined downward to the right or downward to the left. Further, its cross section is formed to have a bell shape with a wide central portion, and is shaped to effectively generate air flow.
