ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary undercarriage for vehicles having pneumatic tires, one of which is flat, includes an elongated member for disposition under the vehicle adjacent the flat tire to help support its axle, a ramp at the rear end portion of the elongated member for guiding the axle to be supported upwardly therealong until it is disposed over a wheel journaled for rotation on the underside of the elongated member, and a clamping device on the front end portion of the elongated member for attaching releasably the elongated member to the nearest bumper of the vehicle. A normally engaged brake mechanism prevents the auxiliary undercarriage from rolling until a brake release device responsive to the axle being disposed above the wheel releases the brake for the wheel. As a result, once the clamping device is attached to the bumper and the brake is released automatically, the vehicle is free to be driven to a service station or other convenient location where the flat tire may be changed in a convenient manner.
