Abstract

An ornamental wheel hub cap adapted to be secured onto the wheel rim of a vehicle through the medium of a resiliently deformable ring split to form two free ends connected together by a spring-like wire allowing the radial deformation of the ring whereas a strap is made into one piece of material or moulded at its two ends integrally with the free ends of the ring so as to exert upon the latter a prestress against the force exerted by the wire spring.
