Abstract 1,005,659. Wheel discs. R. H. HOLBROW. March 9, 1964 [March 12, 1963; July 16, 1963], Nos. 9832/63 and 28031/63. Heading B7C. A hub cap, embellishing plate or cap and plate combined 13 (Fig. 2) is attached to a wheel 10 by means of a rotatable member 22 having hook-like projections which on rotation of member 22 engage and lock behind heads 21, the heads 21 being formed either on the wheelsupporting studs 18 or on the nuts 17 which secure the wheel to studs 18. The member 22 is integral with a boss 14 rotatable relative to the disc 13. Fig. 3 shows the C-shaped projections 29, 30 on member 22, the section of member 22 adjacent each projection being shaped (Fig. 4, not shown), so that as member 22 is turned resilient deformation occurs in regions 35, 37, and finally a part circular ridge 39 seats against head 21 to inhibit any turning of member 22 in the anti-clockwise direction. Member 22 need not engage all the studs or nuts, and all the hook-like members need not have the locking arrangement. A disc having rotatable member 22 integral may have holes, depressions or projections to facilitate manual rotation. Boss 14 is rotated by arms 15.
