SPARE WHEEL COUPLING SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a coupling system for attaching a spare wheel (10) beneath the bottom panel (20) of a vehicle. The inventive coupling system comprises a support plate (1) which is used to support the wheel (10) in an essentially horizontal manner, a fixing shaft (2) which is connected to the aforementioned support plate (1) and which extends through the central hole in the wheel (10) and a lifting cable (3) which is connected to said fixing shaft (2). According to the invention, when the wheel (10) is in position beneath the bottom panel (20), the fixing shaft (2) passes through the bottom panel (20). Moreover, said coupling system comprises fixing means (4, 5) which are used to connect the fixing shaft (2) to the bottom panel (20) and to prevent the shaft from rotating.
