ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a tire support and safety cage for mounting on a vehicle lift gate or the like. The invention has a base frame for mounting the tire support and safety cage to a lift gate, inner and outer pairs of support members, each support member having top and bottom end portions, the bottom end portions being pivotally mounted to the base frame such that the support members are pivotally movable between raised working positions and lowered storage positions. A securement bar is connected to and extended between the top end portions of one of the pairs of support members. A closure frame is pivotally connected to the top end portions of the other of the pairs of support members for movement between a generally horizontal lowered locking position and a generally vertical raised open position. A means is included for releasably securing the closure frame, in the lowered locking position, relative to the securement bar and the one pair of support members. Upon pivotal movement of the inner and outer pairs of support members to the raised working positions, the inner and outer support members and closure frame form a cage for supporting and partially enclosing a tire therein. One of the pairs of support members is nestable within the other of the pairs of support members in the lowered storage positions thereof whereby the height of the nested inner and outer pairs of support members is less than the combined heights of the inner and outer pairs of support members in the lowered storage positions thereof.
