Abstract: An ornamental wheel device includes a sheet metal ring portion having an annular wall and inwardly turned first and second flanges to define open channels at the extremities thereof. A plurality of clips are circumferentially spaced around the annular wall and include extended toothed members adapted for biting engagement of the wheel. The ends of each clip are furcated so that a space is provided between the forks at each end for receipt of the flanges therein to secure the clip to the ring portion.

Abstract: A clamp for fastening trim or protective strips on support surfaces which includes a single strip of sheet metal formed to three spaced, superposed legs, the outer legs being connected by a bridge, and the middle leg bent inwardly from the free end of the lower outer leg and extending toward the bridge and between the outer legs. The lower leg and bridge are slotted to slide or plug onto a shank of a T-shaped stud, the lower and middle leg clamping the top and bottom of the head of the stud. The upper and middle legs clamp a projection on the trim strip.

Abstract: In a suspension-type head lining arrangement for the roof structure of an automotive vehicle, the head lining retained to the side frames of the vehicle body has fitted to each of its side edge portions an anchor wire retained to clip wires each of which is retained to lower edge portions of each of the side frames and which is held in retaining engagement with both of the anchor wire and a side molding having the clip elements enclosed therewithin.

Abstract: A wheel trim assembly for disposition on the axial outer face of a vehicle has a wheel flange. The wheel trim assembly is of the type comprising an annular ring having a rim portion disposed on a plane substantially parallel to the plane of said wheel flange. The rim portion has formed on its outer surface a plurality of receptacles each of which slidably receive a spring retention clip for mechanically interlocking the spring retention clip to the annular ring. The spring retention clip is engageable with the wheel flange for mounting the wheel trim assembly on the wheel. The receptacle includes two opposed radially inwardly facing tabs and an axial inwardly facing stop tab all formed by upsetting the tab material from the annular ring. The spring retention clip has an arcuate base portion whose arc corresponds generally to the arc of the outer surface of the annular ring.
