The present invention relates to a device for mounting a wheel cover on a rim of a vehicle wheel, said wheel comprising a rim edge (26;26';26";26''') provided with a groove that is oriented towards the centre axis (30;30';30") of the wheel, said device including a securing ring (10;10';10") carrying a resilient ring (12) that in its turn carries a number of securing means for the securing ring (10;10';10"), said securing ring (10;10';10") being connected to the wheel cover (22';22") or constituting an integral part (24''') together with the wheel cover. The device defined above is primarily intended to be used in connection with wheel covers for lorries and buses. The securing devices used at present in connection with wheel covers for lorries and busses are complicated and function in a poor way. It is also previously known a device for mounting wheel covers where beads, supported by tongues are urged outwardly by a resilient ring to cooperate with recesses in the wheel rim. However, such a device is not suitable to be used in connection with large vehicle wheels since the mounting/dismounting forces are too high. The present invention is characterized in that on a resilient ring (12) a number of rollers are provided, said rollers, in mounted position of the device, being received in a groove (28;28';28";28''') of a rim edge (26;26';26";26'''). <IMAGE> |
