Definitions
- the present invention relates to a placement apparatus enabling the components such as jacks, jack handle, lug wrenches, towing eyes used for replacing the tires of vehicles such as passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses, vans, trucks, etc. or for towing the vehicles to be placed inside the vehicle.
- the present invention particularly relates to a jack kit placement apparatus made of plastic material enabling the equipment mounted on the vehicle to be fixed while cruising.
- a vehicle's handling and capabilities are the most important factors for ensuring driving safety.
- the ground connection and handling of the vehicle is provided by many components working together.
- the vehicle will be able to respond to the needs of drivers by all the components such as moving parts, steering system, suspension system, front layout geometry and tires working in harmony with each other.
- the tire In case of blowout/deflation of one of the vehicle's tires, the tire should be replaced with the spare tire.
- a kit comprising tools to be used in case of tire replacement. Spare tire is not normally for continuing to drive but for reaching the nearest maintenance service.
- a vehicle is provided with a kit comprising a jack, a lug wrench and sometimes a wheel cover remover for lifting the wheel cover. Since the current kits provided in the vehicles are designed as a single use do it yourself kits, provision of an advanced kit in the vehicles would be certainly useful.
- Patent application 1998/01682 is encountered during the literature search conducted on the prior art, wherein said patent application relates to a jack support assembly fitted inside the spare tire and comprising a slot defining a cavity to hold the jack and removable fixing means connected to the base of the slot for securing the slot to the body and capable of forming a closed position for securing the slot and spare tire to the body and an open position allowing the slot and spare tire to be released from the body.
- Fixing means comprise a double formation.
- One of said formations is designed so as to be secured to the body and the other one is designed so as to be secured to the slot in a mutually aligned manner.
- this construct only allows the jack and the spare tire to be secured.
- volumetrically larger and less durable materials are used.
- the material used for this purpose is expanded polypropylene. Due to the nature of this material, problems such as breaking and disintegration are experienced over time. This situation increases the cost of components and prevents the product to perform its functions throughout the economic life thereof in the case of using non-durable materials. In addition, even if dimensional compatibility is provided due to being a flexible material, it leads to unwanted noise problems in the vehicle over time.
- the present invention is developed by being inspired from the existing situations and seeks to solve the above mentioned drawbacks.
- the primary object of the present invention is to enable the components such as jacks, lug wrenches, towing eyes, wheel cover removers, etc. to be placed on the apparatus and to be easily and conveniently fitted and removed with suitable force.
- Another object of the present invention is to eliminate strength problems such as breaking and disintegration thanks to the plastic structure thereof.

- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the vehicle jack kit placement apparatus according to the present invention.
- the vehicle jack kit placement apparatus comprises a body (10) made of plastic material provided with supports thereon for positioning the components such as jack (50), lug wrench (60), towing eye (70) and wheel cover remover (80).
- the body (10) is mounted to the neck support (20) by means of the clips (10a) disposed thereon.
- the neck support (20) comprises a geometrical structure preventing rotation of and supporting the lug wrench (60) placed on the body (10) as well as enabling the wheel cover remover (80) to be fixed.
- the body (10) is provided with a jack screw fixing element (50a) for placing the jack (50) thereon.
- the end portions of the jack screw fixing element (50a) comprise an angled structure.
- the angled structure enables the end portions to flex when the jack screw (50d) is placed and prevents the breakage thereof.
- a jack top step abutment (50b) and a jack base abutment (50c) are provided.
- the jack top step abutment (50b) is designed according to the geometrical structure of the jack (50) top step, wherein it enables the jack (50) to be compressed and prevents the movement thereof.
- the jack base abutment (50c) prevents the movement of the jack (50) in two directions by compressing the jack (50) base plate.
- FIG 3 is a view of the vehicle jack kit placement apparatus according to the present invention illustrating the placement location of the lug wrench (60).
- the lug wrench fixing element (60a) is disposed on the body (10).
- the lug wrench fixing element (60a) comprises an angled end portion while the body portion of the lug wrench (60) comprises a flexing structure preventing the breakage during the placement thereof.
- the lug wrench end abutment (60b) disposed on the neck support (20) portion comprises a geometrical structure preventing the lug wrench (60) from being reversely placed and enabling the large size lug wrench (60) to be fixed from a second point.
- the lug wrench end abutment (60b) also contacts the jack (50) and provides an abutment surface for the jack (50).
- the towing eye fixing element (70a) is constructed so as to prevent rotation and reverse placement of the towing eye (70).
- a wheel cover remover fixing element (80a) is provided in the body (10) and neck support (20) joining portion.
- This fixing element (80a) is constructed in accordance with the geometrical structure of the wheel cover remover (80), wherein it comprises flexible and angled end portions to hold the body portion of the wheel cover remover (80).
- the end portion of the wheel cover remover (80) is placed into and fixed on the wheel cover remover end abutment (80b) constructed in accordance with said end portion.

- the apparatus is attached to the plate (100) disposed on the trunk cavity (90) by means of the connection clip (30) and connection pin (40).
- the connection clip (30) centers the plate (100) to be fitted with the body (10) and neck support (20) and prevents it from coming loose by means of the click fit clips (30a) disposed on the end portion thereof.
- the connection pin (40) after the connection of the connection clip (30) with the plate (100) is performed, prevents closing of the click fit clips (30a) disposed on the connection clip (30) by flexing and enables fixed connection thereof to the plate ( 00).
- Figure 11 shows an alternative view of the connection of the vehicle jack kit placement apparatus according to the present invention to the plate (100).
- fitting can be provided by adding a fixed clip structure (30b) to the surface for placing the body (10) component onto the plate (100) instead of the connection clip (30) and the connection pin (40).
- a fixed clip structure (30b) to the surface for placing the body (10) component onto the plate (100) instead of the connection clip (30) and the connection pin (40).
