ABSTRACT:
A support device for the spare wheel of a motor vehicle includes a box member attachable to a rear frame portion and including a front lockable cover to prevent access to interior bolts holding the box member on the frame. The box member includes an upstanding latch plate and carries pivotally on pivot pins through the side walls thereof, a support member including a cradle and an upstanding portion which has a slide movable vertically to engage behind the latch portion of the box member. The sides of the cradle include cut-outs so the cradle can wrap around the bumper and the slide engage behind the bumper onto the latch plate. The slide is lockable in position and the spare wheel sits in the cradle and can be locked to the upright. The device is therefore mounted entirely on the frame of the vehicle and is separate from the bumper and does not require any drilling or modification of the vehicle.
