Abstract
A holder for a vehicle spare tire which diminishes the possibility of tire theft from the vehicle. The holder includes a hoist attached to the vehicle frame. This hoist is driven by a key wrench which engages a key aperture associated with the hoist drive means. A flexible guide directs the key wrench from the exterior portion of the vehicle into its key aperture. The guide comprises a flexible spring which is associated in a slidable relationship with the hoist. The flexion and/or slidable connection of the guide precludes operation of the hoist by manipulation of the guide. The key wrench is user-driven by a drive tube/lug wrench combination. The flexion and/or slippage connection cooperates with the key wrench assembly so as to diminish the possibility of operation of the hoist and lowering of the spare tire to the ground by non-authorized users.
