<p>The invention concerns a system for fixing a spare wheel of a motor vehicle in a dish (14) provided in the body of the vehicle, the dish being provided with a base (18), the wheel comprising a central recess (20) consisting of at least one opening (22). The invention is characterized in that the system comprises a screw (34) provided with a threaded part (62) and a head (64), a housing (32) for the screw head mounted on the base (18) of the dish (14), the housing (32) including a mobile component (46) freely sliding along a first axis (x), the mobile component (46) being formed with a longitudinal opening (52) extending substantially orthogonal to the first axis and arranged to receive the head (64) of the screw, and a nut (36) adapted to be mounted on the screw such that, when the spare wheel is fitted in the dish, the screw (34) extends through the opening (22) and engages the mobile component (46) of the housing (32), the nut (36) being received and clamped on the head so that it compresses the wheel against the base of the dish. The invention is applicable in particular in the automotive industry.</p> |
