  • Patent number: 6820943
    Abstract: A one way free spinning hubcap assembly that allows hubcaps of a vehicle to freely spin in one direction independent of the rotation of the associated wheel. For example, when a vehicle using the invention accelerates or maintains its forward velocity the hubcaps of a vehicle are forced to spin at the same rate as the wheels. However, when the vehicle then slows or stops the hubcaps are free to continue spinning independently of the motion of the wheels.

  • Patent number: 6655061
    Abstract: A one way free spinning hubcap assembly having a decorative hubcap and a bracket assembly. The bracket assembly is attached to a vehicular wheel and the hubcap is rotatably attached thereto. A bearing clutch present in the bracket assembly permits the hubcap to rotate independently from the wheel when the wheel is rotated in one direction, but forces the hubcap to rotate concurrently with the wheel when rotational force is applied in the opposite direction. In this way the hubcap may be permitted to continue rotating after the associated wheel has ceased rotating.
