Abstract: A wheel cover for a vehicle wheel with a sprag clutch providing the connection to the cover so that the cover can overrun the wheel. A second clutch of the centrifugal type connects the sprag clutch to the vehicle wheel so that at elevated speeds the cover is not driven by the wheel.

Abstract: A free wheeling spinner is mounted on a wheel by means of an adapter for accommodating wheels with similar bolt patterns and varying diameters. The spinner is mounted to the adapter by means of a bearing of inner and outer races secured respectively to the adapter and the spinner. Elongated lug nuts having a threaded free end receive bolts for securing the adapter to the automobile wheel.

Abstract: A wheel spinner assembly mountable onto a corresponding wheel of a vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a wheel mount supportable by the wheel. A spinner mount is connected to the wheel mount. A bearing assembly is supported by the spinner mount. A spinner is supported by the bearing assembly, wherein the bearing assembly allows the spinner to rotate independently relative to the corresponding wheel as the vehicle is in motion.

Abstract: A display wheel cover assembly connectable to a rotatable wheel of a vehicle. This invention includes an inner member rigidly connectable to the outside of the wheel and having a support-bearing member positioned coaxially with the wheel. A wheel cover having a coaxially extending support shaft is rotatably supported in the support-bearing member. An elongated cylindrical locking member is positioned within a longitudinal aperture formed through the support shaft. A cam member, connected to a distal end of the locking member, has a non-symmetric periphery such that, when properly rotatably orientated, are fully insertable into said support bearing member. In a second rotational orientation, the cam member prevents withdrawal of the support shaft from the support-bearing member. A counterweight attached to the wheel cover prevents rotation of the wheel cover. Interchangeable display indicia attach to the wheel cover.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for a movable decorative member to be mounted on a rotatable wheel hub including a weighted mass having a mounting portion carrying a ball bearing disposed on a boss provided on a securement cap stud. The stud includes a threaded shaft engageable with the coupler or hub per se. The coupler is a flanged base or a base having radially projecting legs wherein either the flanged base or the radial legs are detachably connected with the hub. The bearing has a turning axis and the weighted mass decorative member is eccentric or off-center of the turning axis so that the decorative member downwardly depends from the bearing in a static appearing condition. A fixed, decorative member may be included which is secured to the hub so as to rotate therewith while the movable decorative member appears stationary.

Abstract: A hub cap (3) with a picture for a rim (2) of a wheel of a vehicle comprises a housing connected to the rim (2) and a disc connected rotatably to the housing (4). The picture is arranged on the side of the disc (5) remote from the housing. The rotatable connection between the housing and the disc is formed by a pivot pin (6) which is received rotatably in a pivot hole. A mass is connected to the disc at a distance from the pivot pin. The mass (11) is connected to the disc for pivoting on a first shaft parallel to the pivot pin, so that the stabilizing effect of the mass (11) on the disc works better during rotation of the rim.

Abstract: A static plate device is mounted on a rotating body so as to maintain a static state without becoming synchronized with a rotation of the rotating body. The static plate device includes a static plate, a mounting member that mounts the static plate on the rotating body, an intermediate member disposed between the static plate and the mounting member so as to support the static plate, the intermediate member being supported by the mounting member via a bearing member, and a weight provided on the static plate. The static plate appears to remain stationary even as the rotating body rotates.

Abstract: An image-holding assembly is intended for mounting over a wheel of a motor vehicle. The assembly has a base plate for attaching to the wheel, a non-rotatable disc mount coupled to the base plate and a disc cover secured to the non-rotatable disc mount. The disc cover carries a text, design or other desired image. The disc cover does not rotate with the wheel. The image remains discernable regardless of whether the vehicle is parked or is traveling along a roadway.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel ideal for buggy, stroller, carriage, tricycle, dolly buggy, and the like, having a wheel rim mounted on a wheel axle and holding an outer tire, movable parts mounted on an inner table suspended in the wheel rim, and a cartoon-Figured wheel cover fixedly fastened to the inner table. When the vehicle goes forward, the cartoon Figured wheel cover doesn't move at all, on the contrary, the Figure's eyes, nose, and ears start to swing.

Abstract: A wheel spinner assembly mountable onto a corresponding wheel of a vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a wheel mount supportable by the wheel. A spinner mount is connected to the wheel mount. A bearing assembly is supported by the spinner mount. A spinner is supported by the bearing assembly, wherein the bearing assembly allows the spinner to rotate independently relative to the corresponding wheel as the vehicle is in motion.

Abstract: A mechanical assembly, device or system which allows and facilitates the mounting or attaching of a desired logo, trademark, name, emblem, ornament, logo, trademark, sign, lettering or other display to a vehicle's wheels and remain motionless or in an upright position while the wheel, and/or wheel covering, rotates at its normal speed. The display (which is proportionately weighted) is mounted on a straight shaft (with a mounting surface) which is inserted at or through the center of the wheel or wheel covering and is supported by a ball bearing assembly affixed to the wheel or wheel covering (or cap) and properly weighted to prevent its rotation as the wheel, and/or wheel cover, rotates.
