Abstract
The hub cap system for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, includes a hub cap configured to rotate about an axial direction, wherein the hub cap has a central aperture which extends in the axial direction, and an air guiding system including a primary connection and a secondary connection, wherein the air guiding system extends partially into or through the central aperture.
Claims9
A hub cap system for a vehicle comprising:
- a hub cap configured to rotate about an axial direction, wherein the hub cap has a central aperture which extends in the axial direction;
- and an air guiding system including a primary connection and a secondary connection, wherein the air guiding system extends partially into or through the central aperture, and wherein the air guiding system is translationally displaceable and/or extendable relative to the hub cap in the axial direction;
- wherein the air guiding system is configured to be transferred from a first position to a second position, wherein the air guiding system projects beyond the hub cap in the second position as seen in the axial direction, and wherein the air guiding system does not project beyond the hub cap in the first position as seen in the axial direction.
A method for mounting a hub cap system with a hub cap and an air guiding system for a tire pressure regulation system, comprising:
- translationally displacing the air guiding system in the axial direction into a first position such that the air guiding system does not project beyond the hub cap as seen in the axial direction of the hub cap;
- providing the hub cap system;
- installing the hub cap system in a vehicle and/or in a wheel of a vehicle;
- and translationally displacing the air guiding system in the axial direction into a second position such that the air guiding system projects beyond the hub cap at least on one side when viewed in the axial direction of the hub cap.
