ABSTRACT:
A bumper mounted spare wheel carrier for a vehicle having a rear door is provided with a latching mechanism for latching the carrier to the rear door of the vehicle so as to secure it during movement. The carrier has a first mounting bracket secured to the rear bumper and a second mounting bracket secured to the rear door of the vehicle. A carrier arm is mounted on the first mounting bracket and is adapted for pivotal movement between a first position latched to the second mounting bracket and a second position extending substantially laterally from the vehicle. A wheel bracket is attached to the carrier arm for holding the wheel. The latching mechanism, also mounted on the carrier arm, is adapted for engagement with the second mounting bracket. As a result, a low cost easy to install bumper mounted wheel carrier is provided which is firmly attached to the vehicle, yet can be easily swung away from the vehicle for removal of the spare wheel or for opening of the rear door.
