Abstract

Rotating device for hubcap and tire logos, essentially characterized in that it is composed of a convex circular surface that contains the logo of the vehicle brand that has a central axis at the rear that passes through a pin cylinder and ends in a second cylinder with rear cover in whose center the axis is anchored and because, attached to the rear cover of the rear cylinder, there is an asymmetric leveling weight and a counterbalance to slow down the gravitational rotational movement that maintain the horizontal orientation of the logo.

Description

Rotating device for hubcap logos and tires

This utility model refers to a rotating device that maintains, at rest, the horizontal position of the decorative element located in the center of hubcaps or wheel rims on cars.

Currently many of the wheels of the cars present in the center their hubcaps or tires the Vehicle brand logo.

Those ornaments spin together with the wheels, adopting a random orientation depending on the position in that each wheel has been stopped.

It is unlikely that the position of the logo remain oriented in its natural position because while driving each wheel can spin with variations from the others and, in when stopping, the driver cannot know the position of each ornament.

The orientation of this ornament is very careful as in the occasions in which the presentation of new vehicles as well as exhibitions and photographs advertising and presents great complexity to achieve a correct orientation.

The model, object of this report, solve this problem because it allows to maintain the same orientation on all four wheels of the logo, automatically, allowing a aesthetic and advertising improvement.

To better understand the scope of this model we will describe it on the attached drawings in which it has been materialized a preferred design of the same given by way of example without limitation.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 shows a view of a car parked on slope.

Fig. 2 shows the detail of a wheel with the hubcaps showing the model with the horizontal logo and

Fig. 3 shows the different components of the model with side and front views.

As can be seen in the drawings, the device consists of three independent parts, the outer element with the logo (1), a pin (2) for the shaft (3) of the logo, and the interior element consisting of a cylinder (4). In addition, the figures can be distinguished: the weight leveling (5), optional counterweight (6) delay, cover rear (7) and delay magnets (8).

The outer element (1) is circular and can have a flat or convex outer surface where you can the logo or brand of the vehicle model be printed. Of the center of the back of the outer element (1) parts the shaft of the device (3) that passes through the pin (2), which consists of a multi-spoke cylinder supporting a pin cylinder interior for the shaft (3), and is coupled to the inner cylinder (4) that it has a back cover (7) where it is located hooked the end of the shaft (3) and also has both attached leveling weight (5) as the delay and / or counterweight imbalance (6).

When the vehicle stops, the weight action leveling (5), which has an asymmetrical shape of rhomboid, scalene triangle or circular sector to ensure movement by gravity, causes the outer element (1) to rotate until adopted the desired horizontal leveling position, transmitting the movement through axis (3) to the outer logo.

To make the leveling movement be slower, the model may optionally have an element of counterweight (6) in opposite position to the weight (5), which may have anchor shape In this case initial leveling of the logo is does in the equilibrium position when the vehicle is arrested.

To further slow down the pro movement severity of the logo orientation it is possible to include a set of magnets (8) distributed on the inside of the inner cylinder (4) as can be seen in the figure 3.

The model is likely to accept simple variations such as the replacement of pin cylinder (2) and rear cylinder (4) by a single bearing mechanism hooked to the outer cover of the logo (1) by hitch tabs, eliminating the need to have the Thin central axis of rotation (3).

Within the essence of the invention, fit the variants of detail, also protected and so may vary the type weights and counterweights, shaft coupling mechanism, size of the different components, the amount of these and of course, the material used

Claims (1)

1. Rotating device for hubcap and tire logos, essentially characterized in that it is composed of a convex circular surface that contains the logo of the vehicle brand that has a central axis at its back that crosses a pin cylinder and ends in a second cylinder with rear cover in whose center the axle is anchored and because, attached to the rear cover of the rear cylinder, an asymmetrical leveling weight and a counterbalance of slowing of the gravitational rotational movement that maintain the horizontal orientation of the logo are arranged.
