Abstract
An axle cover for covering a wheel axle of an automobile comprises a lock frame, seating elements, and a cover. The lock frame has at least one through hole in which the seating element is inserted and extends therefrom. The cover has at least one settling hole whose position is adapted to correspond to the through hole of the lock frame. After securing the lock frame to the wheel axle, the cover can be easily sleeved on to the wheel axle and have it blocked by settling blocks on the seating element. The seating element is further designed to be a flexible structure so that the cover can be easily sleeved on and easily moved off the wheel axle just by pushing the flexibly mounted settling blocks inside the lock frame.
