REMOVABLE BRAKE COVER

摘要

A removable brake cover apparatus is disclosed including a sidewall presenting frontal and posterior surfaces and a circumferential wall extending transversely from the sidewall to define a brake rotor receiving cavity adjacent the posterior surface of the sidewall. A brake caliper pocket having a limited circumferential extent is disposed along the sidewall and the circumferential wall to define a brake caliper receiving cavity adjacent the brake rotor receiving cavity. Engagement fingers extend radially into the brake caliper receiving cavity to engage a brake caliper received therein with an audible and/or tactile indicator defining a fully installed position of the brake cover apparatus. Locking recesses extend radially into the brake rotor receiving cavity to engage a brake dust shield received therein. Multiple ones of the brake cover apparatus disclosed are nestable with one another in a stacked arrangement wherein the engagement fingers and locking recesses perform locating and anti-rotation functions.

1. A brake cover apparatus, comprising:
a sidewall presenting a frontal surface and a posterior surface opposite said frontal surface; a circumferential wall extending transversely from said sidewall to define a brake rotor receiving cavity adjacent said posterior surface of said sidewall, said circumferential wall presenting an inner surface bounding said brake rotor receiving cavity and an outer surface opposite said inner surface; a brake caliper pocket disposed along a portion of said sidewall and said circumferential wall that projects from said frontal surface of said sidewall to define a brake caliper receiving cavity adjacent said brake rotor receiving cavity; and at least one engagement finger projecting radially inwardly from said inner surface of said circumferential wall at said brake caliper pocket that extends into said brake caliper receiving cavity to engage a brake caliper in a fully installed position of said brake cover apparatus.
