ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for holding a spare wheel under the chassis of a motor vehicle in a horizontally suspended fashion, including a wheel holder supported at its one end on the outer surface of one longitudinal chassis member for both vertical and horizontal rotation to rotate its other end vertically and horizontally. A pin depends from a supporting member on the outer surface of the longitudinal chassis member and is connected to the one end of the wheel holder to permit at least horizontal rotation of the wheel holder. The vertical rotation of the wheel holder is effected by a rotative connective mechanism provided either at the one end of the wheel holder or between the pin and the one end of the wheel holder. A winch mechanism is provided for raising and lowering the other end of the wheel holder. According to one embodiment, the winch mechanism is positioned on the outer surface of the longitudinal chassis member, so that the wheel holder extends in parallel to the longitudinal chassis member for 90.degree. horizontal rotation to project its other end outwardly relative to the chassis. In a different embodiment, the winch mechanism is provided on the outer surface of another longitudinal chassis member, so that the wheel holder extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal chassis members for 180.degree. horizontal rotation to project its other end outwardly relative to the first mentioned longitudinal chassis member.
