As described above, the operation of the wheel logo apparatus 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

First, the outer peripheral surfaces of the wheels 20a and 20b are coupled to wheels of an automobile to mount the wheel logo devices 10a and 10b.

Then, when the vehicle is driven, the wheels 20a and 20b and the main body 30a and 30b coupled to the wheels 20a and 20b are rotated at the same time while the wheels of the vehicle are rotated.

Here, the cases 50a and 50b are spaced apart from the inner circumferential surfaces of the wheels 20a and 20b at minute intervals and are rotatably coupled to the bearings 40a and 40b.

At this time, as shown in Figure 3 in the wheel logo device (10a) the case 50a and the wheel (20a) in the state in which the metal ball (60a) is inserted into the circular passage (52a) formed facing each other As the wheel 20a rotates along the circular path 52a external to the case 50a, the wheel 20a is used externally.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, in the wheel logo apparatus 10b, the metal ball 60b is inserted into the circular passage 52b formed by the case 50b and the main body 30b facing each other. The rotating force of the wheel 20b is used while being rotated along the circular path 52b embedded in the case 50b.

Here, the weight of the rotating metal ball (60a, 60b) acts outward of the circular passage (52a, 52b) by the centrifugal force, the outer peripheral surface of the case (50a, 50b) of the flexible material is the wheel (20a, 20b) The metal balls 60a and 60b and the cases 50a and 50b rotate in the same manner as the wheels 20a and 20b while being in contact with the inner circumferential surface.

Accordingly, when the vehicle is driven, the cases 50a and 50b engraved with the logo and letters are not rotated by the bearings 40a and 40b but rotate together with the wheels.

In addition, the plurality of guide vanes 90a and 90b provided inside the cases 50a and 50b and the main bodies 30a and 30b may be rotated by the cases 50a and 50b and the main bodies 30a and 30b. Cooling the inside of the wheel logo device (10a, 10b) by the wind generated by the rotation to prevent the case (50a, 50b) thermal expansion, and to maintain the magnetic force of the magnetic body (70a, 70b).

When the vehicle stops to park or stop after driving, the wheels 20a and 20b and the main bodies 30a and 30b do not rotate and stop, and the metal balls 60a and 60b are not forcibly braked. The centrifugal force was rotated during the driving of the to rotate independently along the interior of the circular passage (52a, 52b).

At this time, the metal balls (60a, 60b) rotating in the circular passage (52a, 52b) is attached to the magnetic body (70a, 70b) embedded in the case (50a, 50b) while the rotational speed is reduced in accordance with the decrease in centrifugal force do.

Accordingly, the metal balls 60a and 60b stop rotating below the circular passages 52a and 52b while the magnetic bodies 70a and 70b and the metal balls 60a and 60b are attached to each other. The center of gravity of the 50a and 50b is directed below the circular passages 52a and 52b by the weight of the metal balls 60a and 60b.

Here, when the metal balls (60a, 60b) is located below the circular passage (52a, 52b) car logos and letters carved on the front of the case (50a, 50b) is a state that is correctly seen.

That is, the wheel logo device (10a, 10b) is the case 50a, 50b engraved with the logo and letters when the car is running with the wheel (20a, 20b) by the centrifugal force of the metal ball (60a, 60b) Will rotate.

When the vehicle stops to park and stop, the magnetic balls 70a and 70b rotate while the metal balls 60a and 60b are rotated along the circular passages 52a and 52b while the wheels 20a and 20b are stopped. The case 50a, 50b is attached to the case 50a, 50b by the weight of the metal ball (60a, 60b) is the center of gravity is directed down the circular path (52a, 52b) logo of the case (50a, 50b) Will be shown.

In this way, the wheel logo device (10a, 10b) is rotated in the same way as the rotation of the wheel when driving the car, the metal ball (60a, 60b) and the case (50a, 50b) rotated when parking and stopping Since the magnetic material (70a, 70b) embedded in the attached to make the logo of the case (50a, 50b) to look right so as to extend the life of the bearing can be used for a long time.

In addition, since the fluorescent material is coated on the logo of the cases 50a and 50b, the logo of the vehicle can be identified at night.

According to the wheel logo apparatus according to the present invention as described above provides the following effects.

First, the case with the logo engraved with the wheel rotates while the car is driving, and the logo can be seen correctly only when the car is stopped, thereby reducing the wear of the bearing with the logo engraved case and the wheel, thereby extending the life semipermanently. .

Second, by applying a fluorescent material to the logo to facilitate the identification of the logo at night, it can improve the advertising effect.

As described above, although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and is intended by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalents of the claims to be described.
