Abstract: A device for raising and lowering a spare wheel of a vehicle having a flexible cable movable between a raised wheel position and a lowered wheel position, a control device operable to move the flexible cable between said raised wheel and lowered wheel positions, a stationary plate intended to be fixed to the vehicle structure, and a movable plate connected to one end of said flexible cable and intended to be fixed by screws to the hub of the spare wheel, wherein the movable plate abuts against the stationary plate in said raised wheel position.

Abstract: A device for raising and lowering a spare wheel (R) of a vehicle includes an actuation device (14), a flexible cable (16) co-operating with the actuation device (14), and an engagement member (18, 85) fixed to one end of the flexible cable (16). The device further includes a transmission member (22, 78) fixed with respect to the structure (12) of the vehicle and having a substantially cylindrical shape, arranged with its own longitudinal axis horizontal. The flexible cable (16) co-operates with a curved outer surface (28, 79) of the transmission member (22) from which it is deviated substantially by 90° around the transmission member (22); the engagement member (18, 85) has a bar with a horizontal axis (83) fixed to one end of the flexible cable (16), the bar being designed to engage in a fixed transverse seat (30, 76) made on top of the transmission member (22, 78) for stable anchorage of the wheel (R) to the structure of the vehicle (12) when the wheel is in the completely raised position.
