Wheel cover with self generating light arrangement
First Claim
1. A wheel cover adapted for mounting on a wheel, comprising:
- a cover body having an outer side, an opposed inner side defining a receiving cavity, at least a holding slot formed on said cover body to communicate said outer side with said inner side, and a plurality of attaching arms extended from said inner side of said cover body for detachably attaching said cover body on said wheel; and
a self generating light arrangement, comprising;
a power generating unit comprising a power generator coaxially supported on said inner side of said cover body within said receiving cavity, wherein said power generator comprises a plurality of induction units positioned in a radial manner to define an induction cavity therewithin and a magnet rotatably disposed within said induction cavity such that said cover body is driven to rotate to provide a relatively rotational movement between said induction units and said magnet for self-generating electricity by means of induction when said cover body is rotated with respect to said wheel; and
at least an illuminating unit, which is electrically connected with said power generating unit, securely mounted at said holding slot of said cover body in such a manner that when said cover body is driven to rotate, said illuminating unit is activated for providing a light effect.

Abstract
A wheel cover includes a cover body having an outer side, an opposed inner side, a holding slot formed on the cover body to communicate the outer side with the inner side, and a plurality of attaching arms extended from the inner side of the cover body for detachably attaching the cover body on the wheel. A self generating light arrangement includes a power generating unit coaxially mounted on the inner side of the cover body, wherein the power generating unit is adapted for self-generating electricity by means of induction when the cover body is rotated with respect to the wheel, and at least an illuminating unit, which is electrically connected with the power generating unit, securely mounted at the holding slot of the cover body in such a manner that when the cover body is driven to rotate, the illuminating unit is activated for providing a light effect.
