<p>The coupling 10 comprises a U-shaped elongate element 12, and a short cylindrical tube 14 attached to the underside of the U-shaped profile 12 at one end. An upright 16 in the form of a square section tube is connected to each side of the cylindrical part 14 to either side of the U-shaped profile 12. A strut 18 extends from the lower end of each upright 16 to the opposite end of the U-shaped profile 12. Each upstanding wall 36 of the U-shaped profile 12 includes four longitudinally spaced apertures 38, 40 between the connection to the cylindrical part 14 and the connection to the struts 18. The assembly includes a vertical post 42 in the form of a square section tube having a foot plate 44 across its lower end. The lower end of the vertical post 42 is arranged to be received in the channel of the U-shaped profile 12 and includes an aperture 46 to be aligned with one of the pairs of apertures 38, 40 by a bolt 48. The assembly also includes a carrying base 53 attached to the coupling 10. The coupling 10 can be used on vehicles which do or do not have a spare wheel on the back, with the post 42 and the carrying base being attached to the coupling via the most appropriate apertures 38, 40. <IMAGE></p> |
