ABSTRACT:
A vehicle undercarriage spare tire carrier having a first pulley located adjacent the storage position of the tire, and a second pulley located exterior of the vehicle. A lever arm is pivotally secured to the vehicle and has a cable attached thereto. The cable extends around the pulleys and terminates under the vehicle with a bracket for holding the spare tire.
The lever may be pivoted in a first direction for lowering and releasing the spare tire or pivoted in the opposite direction wherein the spare tire is pulled into tight engagement with the vehicle in its storage position. The relative positions of the pivot attachment points and pulleys are such that when the tire is in its storage position, the lever arm is in a safety position to prevent inadvertent release of the spare tire. The bracket for holding the spare tire provides a positive lock to insure against inadvertent loss of the tire when it is in its storage position.
