A cover for a vehicle wheel having a drop center is generally complementary in shape to the wheel and has a plurality of connectors spaced around the inside surface thereof. Each connector has a moveable hook and an adjusting bolt. Rotation of the adjusting bolt in one direction extends the hook until it engages the shoulder in the cylindrical portion of the wheel formed by the drop center to thereby retain the cover to the wheel. Rotation of the adjusting bolt in the opposite direction withdraws the hook out of engagement with the shoulder such that the cover can be removed from or reinstalled to the wheel.

A retainer retains a wheel cover to the portion of the studs retaining a wheel to the hub of an axle, which extends beyond the lug nuts. The retainer has a metal retainer body with a planar upper and lower surface and a long end. Two arcuate portions are spaced along the long end and the metal body is beveled in the vicinity of the arcuate portions so that the arcuate portions will engage the threaded portions extending beyond the lug nuts for two adjacent studs.

To retain a decorative tubular cover having a given inner diameter over the axle hub of a wheel, a strap having a plurality of radially extending arms thereon is tightened around the circumference of the axle hub. The ends of the arms define a circle having a diameter a little larger than the given inner diameter of the tubular cover. The tubular cover is pushed over the arms until the open end thereof rests against the web of the wheel where it is retained by the outwardly directed forces applied by the arms.

A cover for a wheel having a web with an outer surface includes a cover body having a web with a rear surface complementary in shape to the outer surface of the web of the wheel. The parts can be nested with the rear surface of the wheel cover abutting against the outer surface of the web of the wheel. The two parts are nonremovably bonded to each other so that the wheel liner stays joined to the wheel when the wheel is removed from the vehicle.

A cover for an oil hub extending through a truck wheel has a tubular body with a transverse surface at one end thereof. The inner diameter of the tubular body is a little greater than the outer diameter of the cylindrical section of the oil hub around which the body is fitted. A compressible sleeve, typically made of a foam rubber or the like, has an inner diameter a little less than the outer diameter of the cylindrical section of the oil hub, and has an outer diameter which is larger than the inner diameter of the tubular body of the cover. The cover is retained over the compressable sleeve by the radial force of the sleeve and by a double sided tape which is applied to the outer surfaces of the compressible sleeve and across the distal end of the oil hub.

Brackets are fitted on the inner surface of a wheel cover to attach the wheel cover to a wheel having a plurality of hand holes. Each of the brackets has at least one finger adapted to fit through a hand hole on a wheel and extend behind the web of the wheel. The brackets are adjustable between a first condition in which the finger is movable with respect to the wheel cover, and a second condition in which the finger of the bracket is locked behind the web of a wheel.

A resilient member having a central section is adapted to fit against the chest of the infant and two generally parallel downwardly extending side sections are adapted to fit snugly under the arms and against the sides of the infant. The central section has an extension which extends over the neck such that when the member is fitted over the chest of an infant, with the sides under the infant's armpits, the extension is in proximity to the chin of the infant. An inclined groove is provided along the upper surface of the extension for frictionally holding a nursing bottle in an inclined angle relative to the mouth of the infant.

A side step for a vehicle has a forward projection that extends into the front fender well of a vehicle and a rearward projection that extends into the rear fender well of the vehicle. Quick release bolt type connectors retain the forward projection in the front fender well and retain the rear projection in the rear fender well such that the side step can be removed from the vehicle for off road driving by unthreading the retaining bolts.

The present invention relates to decorative wheel liners for the rear wheels of trucks. An adjustable wheel cover is provided which will accommodate wheels having a variety of widths for a given diameter of a wheel. The invention has first and second liner members, which are generally cylindrical in shape and conform to the shape of the inner portion of the wheel covered by the liner, and slide one within the other in telescopic relationship. A locking mechanism is provided between the two liner members such that the liners may be locked together after they have been adjusted to the size of the wheel on which they are fitted.
