Hubcap with fastening elements coupled therein

摘要

The invention relates to a hub cap with built-in rim-fixing screws, of the type that comprises a wheel cover which Covers all or part of the metal rim of the wheel and which comprises a series of tubular projections or cylindrical sleeves that are used to house a nut or screw for fixing the wheel to the cap. The aforementioned sleeve comprises an element which is used to fix the nut or screw permanently to the hubcap. Said element is formed by a peripheral lip on the inner surface of the sleeve which is housed in a cylindrical neck or groove of the screw, said groove being defined between two end stops. The above-mentioned fixing means enables the screw or nut to be moved in an axial manner between two defined positions, without allowing said screw or nut to be removed fully- from the hubcap, an operation which can only be carried out using an applicable tool.
