  • Publication number: 20050016877
    Abstract: A spare tire cover is constituted by a fix-up plate 4 having a plurality of fixing holes 40a, 40b, a rear cover 2 to which the fix-up plate 4 including a slide fastener 3 is mounted, and a top cover in which a plurality of projections 10a, 10b are provided in an inner surface. The fix-up plate 4 is mounted and fixed to an inner side surface of the top cover 1 on the basis of a fitting connection between the fixing holes 40a, 40b and the projection holes 10a, 10b. The slide fastener 3 and a seamed portion of the rear cover 2 are wound up and held in the inner side of the top cover 1 by the fix-up plate 4 so as to integrally attach the rear cover 2 to the top cover 1. Accordingly, it is possible to omit a sewing of the other members with respect to a largely bulky hard top cover and it is possible to construct on the basis of a simple operation.
