This invention relates to an wheel cover arresting device in which a plurality of retaining sockets are integrally formed at the rear side of the wheel cover body. Each retaining socket is pivotedly connected with a catch member at one end, and the other end of the catch member abuts against a groove provided on the wheel cover body. Furthermore, a wave-shape elastic portion with definite elastic force is formed on each catch member. Two ends of each catch member abut against the wheel disk body and the wheel cover body respectively after the completion of assembly process. An appropriate force has to be applied so as to detach the wheel cover body from the front side of the wheel disk body. This can also ensure that the wheel cover body will not easily be stripped from the wheel disk body. It is the elastic portion of the catch members that provide the appropriate definite elastic force to allow the catch members to firmly abut between the wheel disk body and the wheel cover body and to enhance the stability of this abutment.
A wheel cover arresting structure, comprising an wheel cover body, an wheel disk body, and a plurality of catch members, said wheel cover body having a plurality of retaining sockets each of which is formed with a pivot coupling portion, each catch member being formed with pivot joints at one end which are pivotedly mounted on said pivot coupling portion, and the other end of said catch member being firmly abutted against a groove formed on the wheel disk body, wherein each catch member is formed with an elastic portion.
