Insert for an insect trapping device

A Simulated Custom Wheel suitable for vehicles having elongated studs, that can be removed and inserted without removing the wheel from the axle or requiring the insertion of a ring or plate between the lug nuts and wheel of the vehicle. The decorative wheel cover having a central cut out to clear the lug bolts, is placed against the wheel but not attached. A retainer ring having sufficient openings to clear the number of lugs but not the lug nuts themselves is placed over the wheel lugs and against the lug nuts. The retainer ring and the wheel cover are connected together to form a unitary structure. At least three new nuts are placed on selected wheel lugs extending through the openings on the retainer ring and tightened. A center wheel cover having simulated lugs and lug nuts to match the wheel is placed over the retainer ring and attached to the ring to form a complete wheel cover without the necessity of removing the lug nuts holding the wheel to the vehicle.

Simulated custom wheels

A Simulated Custom Wheel suitable for automotive wheels or truck wheels is described and which is suitable for use on either Ford wheels of General Motor wheels. A unique retainer ring is placed against a decorative cover which is placed adjacent to the wheel. The ring has a flanged rim on the periphery which defines a shoulder portion. The flanged rim is positioned so as to point away from the wheel, and the lug nuts are assembled in the conventional fashion for the Ford wheels. The General Motor wheels use a solid retainer plate against the retainer ring. A universal center hub also having a flanged rim on the periphery defining a shoulder portion is adapted to frictionally engage the shoulder portion on the retainer ring whereby the center hub is supported and held only by the frictional relationship existing between the shoulder on the retaining ring and the shoulder portion on the center hub. In the preferred embodiment, decorative lug nut covers are attached to the universal center hub thereby providing a wheel that is completely covered.
