Abstract
A nut for attaching an automobile wheel to a hub, having a decorative and protective cap. The nut has a first conical section engageable with the wheel and a second conical section against which the inner end of the cap is crimped. The second section is shallower than the first, and they are interconnected by a notch formed by a reversely conical surface extending transversely to the two conical sections and of a depth at the flat which is approximately equal to the metal thickness of the cap. The result is a construction which creates a strong, thickened retaining collar around the cap and affords a more secure assembly which resists impact wrenching forces.
