  • Patent number: 6026999
    Abstract: A concentrically shaped, moisture and dust resistant apparatus for storing tools and roadside emergency equipment. The device is designed to remain in a suspended state between the wheel of a spare tire and the underside of a motor vehicle. It is positioned above the spare tire on the metal portion of the wheel and is held in place by means of a factory installed winch system. The principal object has two separate, semi-circular compartments which, when joined, form a spherically shaped apparatus. An inner circular opening located at the mid-point of the principal object allows a spare tire retention cable and its fastening means to be received and passed through it. The arcuate exterior has positioned upon it three essentially flat and level surface segments: one at 180 degrees at the bottom of the device and two on adjacent, but opposite sides of the principal object, at 90 and 270 degrees, respectively.
