ABSTRACT:
A tire is held with a threaded rod or bolt in a compartment such as a recessed well formed in the trunk of a vehicle. A wing nut threaded to the rod clamps the tire to the floor of the compartment. A planar cover of sheet of thin material fits partially over and covers the tire and the compartment. A cap threaded to the end of the bolt fits through an aperture formed in the cover. The periphery of the aperture formed in the cover is held between a pair of flanges formed on the cap to provide vertical support to the cover in both upward and downward directions.
