ABSTRACT:
A system for conveniently storing a wheel, tire or similar object. The invention allows a user to easily insert such an object into a support stand and establish a three point support of the object. Furthermore, the system has an actuation feature that allows a support stand to be easily and compactly configured for storage and shipment. The system uses a rotating support surface to establish contact with a wheel, tire or other similar object. In this fashion, a normal force can be exerted against the object while the support surface is free to turn. This allows an object with a rough surface area to be positioned by the force while not allowing the rough surface area to effect such positioning. A mechanism accommodates tires of different sizes, thereby allowing tires to be positioned on support settings unique to each sized tire. A self adjusting feature allows the movement arm to move in response to the tire size, thereby establishing the appropriate settings. A rotating support is disclosed that provides greater flexibility to a support stand in interfacing with tires of rough surface areas by preventing those surface areas from interfering with the support establishment process.
