A base assembly may be coupled to the hub assembly, and a disk assembly may be coupled with the base assembly such that removal and installation of the disk assembly may be accomplished without tools.
Claims20
A wheel cover system comprising:
- a valve;
- a disk assembly comprising an inner portion;
- a push and turn securing mechanism adapted to be coupled to a wheel and compatible with the inner portion of the disk assembly, wherein the disk assembly is adapted to be removably coupled to the wheel by the push and turn securing mechanism and the push and turn securing mechanism is adapted to allow the disk assembly to rotate a portion of a single rotation to a secured position.
A wheel cover system, comprising:
- a valve;
- a disk assembly;
- a push and turn securing mechanism compatible with the disk assembly, wherein the disk assembly is adapted to be removably coupled to a wheel by the push and turn securing mechanism and the push and turn securing mechanism is shaped to receive the disk assembly and allow the disk assembly to rotate less than a single rotation to a secured position.
A wheel cover system, comprising:
- a valve;
- a disk assembly comprising a centrally located opening;
- a rotational securing mechanism adapted to couple to a bracket assembly coupled to a hub of a wheel, wherein:
- an inner ring is adapted to secure to the rotational securing mechanism when the inner ring is rotated to a secured position and to release from the rotational securing mechanism when the inner ring is rotated to a released position, and
- wherein the rotational securing mechanism is compatible with the opening of the disk assembly such that the disk assembly is secured to the rotational securing mechanism by the inner ring when the inner ring is rotated to the secured position.
