ABSTRACT:
A device and a method for securing a spare tire and wheel to a vehicle comprising of an elongated rod having a linked toggle mechanism. A hook at one end of the rod is insertable through a central aperture of the wheel, for attachment to a mounting device carried by the vehicle, while the other end of the elongated rod is threaded into the base of the toggle mechanism. When the toggle mechanism is closed, it overlaps the edge of the hub of the wheel and holds the wheel securely in place. When the toggle mechanism is opened, it does not overlap the edge of the wheel hub and the wheel may be easily removed from the mounting device.
