ABSTRACT:
A spare wheel carrier for vehicles has a channel type support member arranged to be mounted on a vehicle bumper. A channel type tire carrier member is pivotally mounted at its lower end on the support member, with the pivotal axis being offset from the longitudinal center line of the carrier member. The support member has an abutment member at one side and a latching mechanism at the other side. The latching mechanism when tightened urges the carrier member into engagement with the abutment to lock the carrier in stored position. The carrier member is rotatable in a vertical plane and is adapted to be lowered so that the tire mounting means on the carrier member may be moved into registration with a tire resting on the ground in a vertical position.
