Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hubcap for vehicle wheels, comprising a ring coupled thereto.
- the hubcaps are the elements that fit externally on the wheels of the wheels, and can have a stylistic or improved object of the aerodynamics of the vehicle.
- a solution used to attach the hubcap to the wheel rims is to provide the hubcap with a flexible ring inside, which by pressure fits into some hubcap fastener modules.
- a hubcap of this type using a ring is described in WO 2012/010778 A1.
- the hubcap described herein comprises means for securing said ring formed by a pair of fixed side retainers and a flexible central tongue.
- the coupling of the ring must be carried out manually, or in the case of a machine, it should be a complex machine that performs several movements to deform each leg independently.
- the objective of the hubcap of the present invention is to allow a quick and simple coupling of the ring to the hubcap disc, which can be coupled at the same time in all clamping modules and which, if desired, can be performed with a machine simple that presses only in the axial direction, minimizing the time required to perform the ring coupling.
- the hubcap for vehicle wheels comprises a disc which in its position of use covers a tire of a vehicle wheel, a ring for attaching the hubcap to said tire of the vehicle wheel and a plurality of modules of fastening the ring to said disk, each of said securing modules comprising at least a first fastening element that engages on said ring; characterized in that each clamping module also comprises a positioner, so that the ring is retained between the first clamping element and the positioner in its position of use, said first clamping element and said positioner defining a housing for said ring before its placement in its position of use.
- the hubcaps for vehicle wheels according to the present invention may also comprise a few second fasteners.
- the hubcap for vehicle wheels according to the present invention can also comprise support elements on which said ring is supported in its use position.
- said first flexible fasteners are two and are joined together inferiorly and / or superiorly.
- said first fasteners may be joined by a lower joint plane on which said ring rests in its use position.
- said support elements comprise projections for positioning the ring.
- said second flexible fasteners are located in front of said support elements and at the ends of each fastener module.
- said positioner is placed in a position centered on each clamping module.
- each of said first flexible fasteners may be attached to a rigid support member by means of a link arm, and each of the second fasteners may comprise a retaining projection for retaining the hoop in its position of use, and for the support of the ring before its placement in the position of use.
- the placement of the ring is simpler, and can be carried out by means of a simple machine that presses only in the axial direction, or in the case of assembling manually, it must also be pressed only in the axial direction.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of the hubcap of the present invention according to a first embodiment, without the clamping ring;
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the hubcap of the present invention according to a first embodiment, with the clamping ring in its mounting position; Y
- Figures 3 to 5 are schematic elevational views of the ring assembly process in the hubcap according to the first embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 6 is a perspective view of a portion of the hubcap of the present invention according to a second embodiment, without the clamping ring;
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of a portion of the hubcap of the present invention according to a second embodiment, with the clamp ring in its mounting position;
- Figures 8 to 10 are schematic elevational views of the ring assembly process in the hubcap according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
- the hubcap of the present invention comprises a disc 1, which in its position of use covers the rim of a wheel of a vehicle (not shown). ).
- a ring 2 is coupled to this disk 1 by a plurality of clamping modules 3, which are distributed in positions close to the periphery of said disk 1.
- clamping module 3 As indicated above, only a single clamping module 3 is shown in the figures for simplicity, but the number of clamping modules 3 on a disc 1 will be adequate to ensure proper clamping of the disc 1 to the rim. of a wheel.
- Each fastener module 3 comprises a pair of support elements 4, at least a first fastener element 5 (two in the embodiment shown) and, optionally, a pair of second fastener elements 6, the fastener or fasteners holding the ring 2 as will be explained below.
- the support elements 4 are rigid, that is, they do not flex when placing the ring in its position of use ( Figure 2), but its function is to serve as support or support to the ring 2.
- each support element 4 it comprises a projection 9 that serves as a stop for said ring 2.
- Said support elements 4 are placed at the ends of the clamping module 3, and placed substantially in front of them are said second clamping elements 6.
- each second holding element 6 comprises a retention projection 10 directed towards the position of said ring 2.
- the ring 2 is held or held between the projections 9 of the support elements 4 and protrusions 10 of the second fasteners 6.
- first fasteners 5 are also flexible, tilting when the ring 2 is placed in or removed from its position of use, as indicated by the arrows of Figure 2.
- These first fasteners 5 are preferably joined together by a joint plane 7, which comprises a positioner 8, retaining the ring 2 between said positioner 8 and said first fasteners 5.
- said joint plane 7 also serves as a support for the ring 2.
- the fastening of the ring 2 is carried out in four points in each clamping module 3, achieving a better fastening, without representing a greater difficulty in the placement or removal of the ring 2 thanks to the elastic nature of the first and second fasteners 5, 6.
- first fasteners 5 are connected to said support elements 4 by means of two connecting arms 11 which can flex.
- the placement of the ring 2 in its position of use is very simple and can be seen in Figures 3 to 5, since it is simply necessary to couple it under pressure in all the clamping modules 3 of the disk 1 at the same time, performing an axial movement.
- the ring 2 is retained between the first fasteners 5 and the positioner 8, defining a housing for said ring 2 before being placed in its use position.
- the first fasteners 5 When applying said axial pressure, the first fasteners 5 will swing to allow the placement of the ring 2 in its use position, on the support elements 4 and the joint plane 7, the ring 2 being retained by said first fasteners 5.
- FIG. 6 A second embodiment of the hubcap of the present invention is shown in Figures 6 to 10. It should be noted that for reasons of simplicity the same numerical references are used to indicate equivalent elements that perform the same function.
- the main difference of the second embodiment with respect to the first embodiment is that the second retention elements have been removed, so that the retention of the ring 2 to avoid its removal will only be carried out by the first fastening elements 5.
