ABSTRACT:
A spare wheel mounting bracket (10) includes a beam mounting plate (14), for fixing the bracket (10) to a trailer tongue, and a wheel mounting plate (12), for mounting a spare wheel to the bracket (10). An offset channel support (16) extending at an upwardly sloped angle from the beam mounting plate (14) supports the wheel mounting plate (12). The wheel mounting bracket (10) is constructed of a blank of material. A blank is cut with a predetermined perimeter form (39) having a tire mounting tab (42), side support flange tabs (44), and a beam mounting tab (40). A wheel mount opening (24) is cut into the wheel mounting tab (42) and a mounting opening (18) is cut into the beam mounting tab (40). The side support flange tab (44), wheel mounting tab (42), and the beam mounting tab (40) are folded in to form the side support flange (28), wheel mounting plate (12), and the beam mounting plate (14), respectively.
