ABSTRACT:
A spare tire handling mechanism is disclosed which is of the character mounted on a vehicle for displacing a spare tire between a stored position beneath the vehicle chassis and an accessible position therebelow and in which the spare tire engages ground and can be pulled out from beneath the vehicle. The spare tire is supported in the stored position by means of a cable having an end with which the tire is releaseably interengaged, and the tire is adapted to be elevated to and lowered from the stored position by means of a rotatable cable drum. The drum has different diameter portions oriented relative to one another for rotation of the drum in the winding direction to wind the cable on the larger diameter portion when there is no or little load on the cable and to wind the cable on the smaller diameter portion when the cable is loaded to elevate the tire from ground to its stored position.
