Title:
VALVE CAP FALLING PREVENTIVE MECHANISM FOR FULL WHEEL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3743973
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a valve cap from dropping inside a full wheel cap when the tip of a valve part of the valve cap is attached and detached, in the full wheel cap provided on a vehicular wheel and having an opening part for penetrating the valve part of the air pressure adjustment of a tire.
SOLUTION: A plurality of elastically deformable claw parts 81 which are extended toward a valve 4 from the peripheral edge part of an opening part 7 of a full wheel cap 6 and whose front end parts are disposed oppositely to the valve 4 in close are integratedly formed on the full wheel cap 6. Gaps between each claw parts 81 are set to reduce as compared with the diameter of a valve cap 5 formed on the tip of the valve 4. When the valve cap 5 drops in the case of attaching and detaching the valve cap 5, the valve cap 5 can be prevented from dropping in the inside of the full wheel cap 6. Therefore, when the valve cap 5 is attached and detached, the attaching and detaching work can be performed easily by inserting the finger tip to the innermost part of the opening part 7 while deforming elastically the claw part 81.
