Wheel spinner nut adapter

A wheel spinner nut adapter for a wheel assembly, said wheel assembly being of the type that utilizes a hub adapter, said hub adapter being of the type which has a first end for engaging a wheel and a wheel axle assembly, and a second end with external threads which are conventionally used for engagement with internal threads of a wheel spinner, said wheel spinner nut adapter, comprising:

• a) a first hollow end portion including,
• a substantially smooth outer surface being tapered on at least a section thereof, said outer surface having a circular cross-section and,
• a threaded inner surface having a circular cross-section and substantially constant diameter, said threaded inner surface being for engagement with external threads on a second end of a hub adapter,
• a distal end of said outer surface having a relatively small diameter and a proximal end of said outer surface having a relatively large diameter so that said outer surface abuts and may be secured against a wheel hub of a wheel assembly when tightened relative to said hub adapter;
• and
• b) a second end portion adjacent to said proximal end of said first hollow end portion, said second end portion having an outer circular surface for engagement with a wheel spinner, wheel cap or other device desired to be secured to the wheel assembly, said second end portion having an axially outer circular surface further including a plurality of spaced openings having axes extending at angles to the axis or the wheel to accommodate a plurality of set screws engageable with said hub adapter to assure a tight fastening of said nut adapter to said wheel hub.
