Title:
装飾キャップ付きホイールナットまたはボルトアセンブリ、およびその組立て方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4500034
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A decorative cap and wheel nut or bolt insert assembly (10), and a method of assembling them. The insert (12) is coated and/or plated and includes a hex-shaped section (24) and a section having a circular cylindrical outer surface (31). A cap (14) includes a hex cross-section segment (53) and a circular cylindrical cross-section segment (55). The hex cross-section segment (53) of the cap (14) slips easily over the hex section (24) of the insert (12) while the circular cylindrical cross-section segment (55) has a smaller ID than the OD of the circular cylindrical insert section (31). The cap (14) is formed of sheet material which is both plastically and elastically deformable. When pressed onto the insert (12), the cap (14) deforms both plastically and elastically. An interference fit is formed between them by radical plastic deformation of the cap (14).
