The bracket comprises a first catch 3 mounted on support member 2 for engagement with an edge portion of the central opening of the spare wheel so that the wheel may be pivoted in beneath the support member 2 and with an opposing edge portion of the central opening snap into engagement with a second catch 4 so that the wheel depends from the catches 3, 4. In this position, the first catch 3 is pivotal upwardly for urging the wheel against the support member 2. The first catch 3 has a rearwardly extending operating portion 16 pivotally connected to the lower end of a pressure arm 22. The pressure arm 22 is pivotally connected to a lever 20 which is fixedly disposed on a rotary shaft 19 of handle 18 so as to form an elbow-joint for locking the pressure arm 22 in its lower position and for lifting the pressure arm 22 to an upper position where the operating portion 16 and the first catch 3 are free. <IMAGE> |
