Spare-wheel carrier to be mounted on a chassis of a motor vehicle comprises a substantially horizontal backing plate adapted for connection with a vehicle. The backing plate carries a movable protruding hook positioned in such a way as to allow the central opening of a wheel rim to be rested thereupon for enabling the wheel to be swung about the hook to a position below the backing plate and substantially in parallellism therewith. The hook comprises one end of a movable supporting member, the other end of which constitutes a locking member. With the wheel in its securement position, the supporting member is moved whereby the locking member is displaced into engagement with the wheel rim to support same, and whereby the hook is displaced toward the backing member to press the wheel rim thereagainst. |
