ACCESSORY OF THE DAY - 01/06/13 - NATIONAL EXTRA SPARE TIRE CARRIER
By Jay - In Northern California on Sunday, January 06, 2013 - 11:37 am:Anyone have a picture of a set of these in use they could add here?
Here's Arts patent info I copied from a previous thread posted by Robert Bergstadt recently.

Here are 2 patents for the tire carrier.
In # 1592575 it would appear that the inventor intended them to be used in sets of three,
judging by the offset positioning and tip of a third clamp (#20) showing in the drawing.
Your clamps use this earlier style of clamp bolt .

The drawing for this patent still shows the offset positioning of the clamps,
but the tip of the third clamp is missing from the drawing. ???

Those were for big car use, the little Lizzie would be strained in the back side to carry 2 big wheels and balloon tires
