Abstract
A device for mounting a wheel cover on a disc wheel for use in an automobile. The device includes a plurality of engagement units. Each engagement unit includes a leg extending from the wheel cover, and a housing secured on the disc wheel. The leg has at its tip portion an engagement pin. The housing includes a wall having a C-shaped cutout forming a hook portion. There are provided in the housing a spring and slide plate supported by the spring. When the wheel cover is depressed toward the disc wheel and rotated in a predetermined direction, each leg is received in the housing and guided by the slide plate so that the pin is introduced into the hook portion through the cutout. The engagement of the pin with the hook portion is ensured by the urging of the spring member.
