ABSTRACT:
A spare tire locking device is described including an upstanding arm which extends upwardly and outwardly from a frame member on a boat trailer or the like. A flat based plate is secured to the upper end of the arm and has a pair of threaded studs extending therefrom in a horizontal fashion. An arcuate bracket is spaced from the threaded studs and extends outwardly from the base plate and has an opening formed therein adapted to receive the shackle of a padlock. The spare tire is mounted on the base plate by extending the threaded studs through lug holes in the wheel of the spare tire. When the spare tire is so positioned, the bracket extends through the hub hole in the wheel closely adjacent the wheel. When the shackle of a padlock is extended through the bracket, the spare tire cannot be removed from the base plate even though the nuts on the threaded studs are removed.
