Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an illumination for operating a spare tire carrier in dark places or times.

Spare tires can be stored in the trunk of passenger cars because they can be lifted manually, but tires on large vehicles cannot be lifted manually, so a spare tire carrier is used. The spare tire carrier uses a gear mechanism to increase human power, uses a chain to pick up the spare tire, and stores the spare tire by pressing it against the lower surface of a member at the bottom of the carrier.

To operate the spare tire carrier to lift and lower the spare tire, insert the crank handle with a horizontal bar at the end into the perforated shaft protruding from the carrier case, rotate it, and it will be decelerated by a gear mechanism. The force is magnified and moves up and down the chain hanging from the bottom of the carrier case, making it possible to easily lift and lower the spare tire.

However, it is difficult to insert the crank handle into the protruding shaft of the carrier unless both are visible to the operator. In large trucks, the spare tire is stored in the middle of the vehicle in a relatively exposed position, so it can be inserted during the day with natural light, but it is difficult to operate it at night without electric lights. Particularly in large buses, the spare tire is often stored in the front of the vehicle, but since the outer wall of the body is lowered all the way down, it is hardly visible even during the day when it is parked in a dark place such as a garage, and it is difficult to see at night. Of course, electric lights are often required during the day. However, there was no place to insert a flashlight. The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and to enable smooth replacement of a spare tire.

The present invention is to install a light near the protruding perforated shaft of the spare tire carrier when the spare tire carrier is installed in a dark place surrounded by the outer wall of the body or a bumper, etc.
The switch is installed inside the crank handle insertion hole on the outer wall of the body, and when the crank handle is inserted, the switch is turned on and the light turns on, illuminating the perforated shaft of the spare tire carrier and the tip of the crank handle. be.

Next, an embodiment will be described with reference to the figures. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a case where a spare tire is stored near the front of a large bus. Figure 2 is an enlarged view. 1 is the front outer wall of the bus, and a crank handle insertion hole 2 is provided therein. 3 is a crank handle with a horizontal bar 4 passing through its tip, which is a shaft 6 with a protruding hole of a spare tire carrier 5 shown in FIG.
must be inserted into the notch 7 of the A spare tire 8 is pulled up to the spare tire carrier 5 immediately below the spare tire carrier 5. A switch 9 is provided on the back side of the body outer wall of the crank handle hole 2, and both terminals thereof are connected by the inserted crank handle 3, and a light 10 is turned on. The light 10 is attached to a bracket extending forward from a member supporting the spare tire carrier 5, and is attached so as to illuminate the vicinity of the perforated shaft 6 of the spare tire carrier 5 and the tip of the crank handle 4.

According to the present invention, the crank handle can be easily inserted into the perforated shaft of the spare tire carrier, and tire changing operations can be carried out smoothly.
