Spare Wheel Arrangements TRIZ Cases
- Rotating Spare Wheel Tool Carrier for Easier Frunk Access
A hinged carrier nested in the spare wheel well lets vehicle tools swing out for access without lifting the bulky wheel.
- Spare Tire Barricade Structure for Rear-Seat Impact Blocking
A protruding barricade on the spare tire well panel blocks tire separation in rear-end collisions while preserving trunk loading space.
- Spare Tire Cover Exciter Layout for Compact Vehicle Sound Output
Mounting a sound exciter on the spare tire cover cuts AVAS speaker cost and packaging bulk while enabling alarms, audio, and powertrain sound.
- Vehicle Trunk Layout for Spare Tire and Tonneau Cover Storage
A horizontal tonneau cover extension plate fits above the spare tire to save trunk height, improve access, and preserve loading capacity.
- Spare Tire Carrier Overmolding Bore Geometry Against Separation
A varying-diameter bore locks overmolding to the metallic frame, reducing detachment risk and improving spare tire carrier stability.
- Rotatable Spare Wheel Latch for Easier Underbody Wheel Release
A rotating latch turns an underbody spare wheel from horizontal storage to vertical release, cutting lifting effort and wheel change time.
- Spare Tire Carrier Ferrule Shield for Underbody Theft Resistance
A rotatable ferrule shield blocks access to the spare tire hoist cable end, deterring underbody wheel theft without adding bulk.
- Hitch-Mounted Spare Tire Hoist With Pivotable Vertical Frame
A pivotable frame, winch-operated cable, and hitch mount ease spare-tire handling without a separate mounting structure.
- Bed-Mounted Tire Carrier Compliance for Off-Road Articulation
A compliant bed-mounted tire carrier uses slider and ball joints to preserve cargo security while reducing frame stress during articulation.
- Spare Tire Storage Drawer Pivoting Without Cabinet Retraction
A fixed vehicle cabinet uses an extracted drawer to pivot the spare tire downward, reducing lifting effort and mechanism complexity.
- Spring-Loaded Spare Tire Retainer Assembly
A spring-loaded retainer assembly uses opposed actuators to release a spare tire from its storage post.
- Spare Tire Hoist Shock Absorbing Device
Arresting device allows rotation under crash conditions to dissipate impact energy and prevent cable damage.
- Spare Wheel Cable Attachment Assembly with Anti-Rotation Bracket
An eyelet bracket assembly uses a rod and spring clip to secure spare wheels via rim bolt holes.
- Spare Tire Carrier Fuel Tank Mounting System
A spare tire carrier fuel tank uses a segmented mounting system to accommodate various carriers.
- Vehicle Luggage Compartment Lid Adjustment Mechanism
A vehicle luggage compartment lid adjusts position within a recessed rear panel to accommodate different spare tire sizes.
