Abstract
A dual decorative assembly for a vehicle wheel combines an outer member and an inner member that are rotatably mounted on a rotatable wheel hub. Bearings carried on the inner and outer members support the members on the hub whereby the inner member may rotate in a clock-wise or counter clock-wise direction while the outer member employs weights so that the outer member remains stationary by gravitational force to downwardly depend from the bearings. The inner member includes a flared edging over-hanging the peripheral edge of the outer member. The outer member includes a variety of cut-outs and edge scalloping for decorative purposes.
Claims20
A decorative assembly for mounting on a rotatable wheel comprising:
- a hub attached to said wheel, the hub having a centrally located non-rotating spindle attached thereto;
- a first decorative member rotatably carried on said spindle;
- a second decorative member rotatably carried on said spindle;
- attachment means rotatably mounting said first decorative member and said second decorative member in a coaxial relationship providing an independent rotational relationship therebetween;
- and
- said second decorative member is weighted so as to remain stationary due to gravitational force as said wheel rotates.
A wheel mounted decorative assembly comprising:
- an inner decorative member rotatably mounted on a central spindle formed on a rotatable hub, the central spindle being non-rotatable relative to the hub;
- an outer decorative member rotatably mounted on said spindle of said rotatable hub;
- and
- bearing means coaxially mounting said inner decorative member and said outer decorative member on said hub in spaced-apart relationship with said inner decorative member separating said outer decorative member from said hub.
In a wheel decorative assembly carried on a rotatable wheel having a hub, the combination comprising:
- a pair of decorative members carried on a central spindle formed on said hub and non-rotatable relative to the hub, with a selected one of said pair being an outer member and a non-selected one of said pair being an inner member separating said outer member from said hub;
- said outer member remaining stationary as said hub rotates;
- bearing means rotatably supporting said pair of decorative members on said spindle of said hub;
- and
- said inner member and said outer member being coaxially disposed on a central turning axis of said hub.
A decorative assembly for mounting on a rotatable wheel comprising:
- a hub attached to said wheel, the hub having a centrally located non-rotating spindle attached thereto;
- a first decorative member rotatably carried on said spindle;
- a second decorative member rotatably carried on said spindle;
- attachment means rotatably mounting said first decorative member and said second decorative member in a coaxial relationship providing an independent rotational relationship therebetween;
- a first bearing carried on said first decorative member and supported on said spindle;
- a second bearing carried on said second decorative member and supported on said spindle in coaxial relationship with respect to said first bearing;
- and
- a retainer fastener engageable with said spindle for releasably retaining said first and said second decorative members on said spindle.
