  • Patent number: 6802569
    Abstract: An apparatus for use with mounted spare tires is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a valve stem extender and a bracket for holding the valve stem extender in place. The bracket can be designed in one of two different embodiments, depending on the desired use. The present invention would be useful to allow a user to inflate a spare tire or check the air pressure of a spare tire when the spare tire would be difficult to reach, especially on trucks, minivans, and sport utility vehicles, where many times the spare tire is mounted underneath or in a container that is difficult to open.
