For those who like shiny tires after detailing their vehicles, re-cleaning wheels after spraying tire shine products on the material can be a labor intensive and time-consuming chore. This task becomes more challenging as the overspray from such products also land on brake parts and other surface areas of the rim, which often requires individuals to re-clean various parts of their automobiles.
There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem.
An apparatus to prevent having to reclean various parts of the automobile while working on cleaning the rest of the vehicle is not being met by any known device or system at present. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem either.
The main purpose of the wheel rim cover is to provide users with a protective rim cover for automobiles via an adjustable perimeter for shielding brake rotors and brake parts from detailing chemicals and abrasives.
A vehicle wheel cover comprises a wheel cover having a diameter equal to or larger than a rim diameter of the vehicle wheel and a gathered perimeter smaller than the diameter. The disclosure also includes a plurality of clips configured to secure the wheel cover at the gathered perimeter to a lip of the rim. The disclosure further includes a motion fold adjuster configured to expand the perimeter proximal the diameter to fit a plurality of vehicle wheels of a variety of rim diameters.
Throughout the description, similar reference numbers may be used to identify similar elements depicted in multiple embodiments. Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, the invention is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts so described and illustrated. The scope of the invention is to be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.
The present disclosed wheel rim cover, also known as the “Rim Spray Cover” offers a modern accessory that prevents tire shine protectant spray residue from sticking to wheels, calipers, brake discs, and the entire surface area of the rim, to allow for a more efficient and quicker car detailing process. Expanding on the initial design of an average vehicle, the rim spray cover introduces a novel handheld rim cover that adjusts to the size of the particular rim and adequately covers it as a user applies the product onto the tire. As a result, individuals will no longer have to re-clean their rims as the rim spray cover offers a shield that ensures all other components of the vehicle that otherwise would get dirties, are safeguarded, thereby, minimizing post-use clean-up responsibilities. This innovative, top-quality product ensures a fully operational vehicle accessory that enhances and improves any car detailing procedure.
Therefore, a purpose of the wheel rim cover is to provide users with a protective rim cover for automobiles similar to a hairnet with an adjustable perimeter for shielding brake rotors and brake parts from detailing chemicals and abrasives.
Although the operations of the method(s) herein are shown and described in a particular order, the order of the operations of each method may be altered so that certain operations may be performed in an inverse order or so that certain operations may be performed, at least in part, concurrently with other operations. In another embodiment, instructions or sub-operations of distinct operations may be implemented in an intermittent and/or alternating manner.
