応急タイヤ等の巾寸法の小さいタイヤを格納する場合に
取り外すものである。The lock rod 10 is constituted by a hook bolt with a stopper 10b penetrating the cross member 11 up and down, and the vertical position of the hook portion 10a can be adjusted by the degree of screwing into the nut 12 welded to the cross member 11. It has become. 13 in the figure is a spacer,
It is detached when storing a small width tire such as an emergency tire.
【0017】このように構成されるため、標準タイヤ等
