DEFINITION

Classification: 301/37.1

With wheel cover:

(under subclass 5.1) Wheel combined with a facing member secured to and rotating with the wheel, covering a substantial portion of the wheel other than the bearing hub to ornament or protect said wheel.

(1) Note. Included herein is a trim member which covers less that an entire wheel, e.g., a rim-covering trim ring.

(2) Note. A wheel cover, per se, is included herein if particularly adapted for attachment to a vehicle wheel.

(3) Note. A wheel may include a "wheel hub" which is detachably secured to a "bearing hub" and which is permanently attached to the radially innermost portion of the wheel body. A "hub cap" covering the "wheel hub" is included in this and the indented subclasses; whereas a "hub cap" covering only the "bearing hub" is in subclasses 108.1+.
