MOUNTING STRUCTURE OF A WHEEL COVER FOR A VEHICLE TO PREVENT DAMAGE OF A WHEEL COVER BY THERMAL DEFORMATION

摘要

PURPOSE: A mounting structure of a wheel cover for a vehicle is provided to prevent thermal transfer to a wheel cover because a wheel nut has a protection ring and radiant heat generating in a hub and a wheel is induced to the outside.;CONSTITUTION: A mounting structure of a wheel cover for a vehicle couples a wheel and a wheel cover to a wheel bolt installing in a hub by a wheel nut(10). A protection ring(20) is coupled to the wheel nut, on which surface forms a guide groove(25). The protection ring prevents thermal transfer to the wheel cover. The guide groove discharges radiant heat generating in one side of the wheel cover to the outside of the other side.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
