A heavy duty vehicle hubcap preferably made from a plastic material and having a sidewall, an end wall with a transparent window insert formed therein, and further including a radial mounting flange. The mounting flange is reinforced with a mounting ring insert made from a rigid, preferably metal body. The mounting flange and the ring insert include radially elongated bosses and openings. The hubcap also includes an access port formed in the hubcap body sidewall and a plug removably positioned in liquid tight relation within the access port. Preferably, the hubcap is vented to permit passage of gas and vapor therethrough without permitting liquid to pass into the sealed region. An insert molding method is described wherein the ring insert and the window are separately formed and then bonded to the hubcap body.

La présente invention a pour objet un enjoliveur de roue surrésistant fabriqué en plastique, de préférence, lequel comporte une paroi latérale, une paroi d'extrémité incorporant une fenêtre transparente rapportée, ainsi qu'une bride de fixation radiale. La bride de fixation est renforcée d'un anneau de montage rapporté comportant un corps rigide, de préférence en métal. La bride de fixation ainsi que l'anneau de montage rapporté comportent des nervures et des ouvertures à orientation radiale. L'enjoliveur en question comporte en outre un trou d'accès pratiqué à travers la paroi latérale, ainsi qu'un bouchon étanche amovible inséré dans le trou d'accès. De préférence, l'enjoliveur en question comporte des orifices de ventilation permettant le passage des gaz et des vapeurs et interdisant la pénétration de liquides à l'intérieur de la partie étanche de l'ensemble. Une méthode pour l'insertion et la fixation au moyen d'un adhésif de l'anneau de montage rapporté et de la fenêtre rapportée est également visée par les présentes.
