ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is described for hoisting and storing a spare tire beneath the body of a vehicle. The apparatus comprises a supporting bar to which the tire is fastened and a pivotal connection between the bar and the vehicle. A reel is mounted upon the vehicle with a cable, rope or chain wound upon it and extending downwardly with a provision for connecting it when desired to the free end of the tire supporting bar so that the rotation of the reel will raise or lower the free end of the bar and the spare tire as the bar swings about the pivot. The supporting bar is entirely removable from the vehicle by means of a telescopic or sliding connection to enable the tire to be easily fastened to it. The supporting bar is provided with a rectangular cross section and is slidable upon a U-shaped channel which is self cleaning and prevents rotation of the tire thereby cooperating with the reel and the support at the free end of the rectangular tube to hold the tire securely in position when stored, and in a horizontal position while it is placed in and removed from storage.
