A security device for spare wheel winch for preventing the spare wheel winch from being lowered beneath the vehicle. The security device for spare wheel winch includes a tubular member having a first open end and a second open end and also having a bore extending therethrough and further having a bracket-like portion disposed at the first end thereof; and also includes a locking assembly for preventing the spare wheel winch from being lowered.
An integral locking coupler comprising a locking mechanism mechanically coupled to a set of engagement pins for securing a coupler to a receiver. The locking mechanism translates movement to the engagement pins to move them to and from an extended position and a retracted position. When in the extended position, the engagement pins engage the receiver thereby securing the coupler. When in the retracted position, the engagement pins are generally contained within the coupler housing allowing the coupler to be inserted into and removed from the receiver.

A lug wrench and spare tire locking assembly that is attached to a motor vehicle or trailer which includes a hollow wrench carrier body (20) having four open-ended slots (22) at right angles to each other that are configured to interface with a four-way lug-wrench (56). The body has a pair of opposed short legs (24) formed between two adjacent slots, and another pair of opposed long legs (26) formed between each remaining slot. The body also includes a shackle lock pin (28) that extends beyond the legs. A slotted flange (38) is joined to a vehicle bracket (44) and threaded shaft (36) connects the body to the flange. A spare wheel is fastened to the vehicle bracket on top of the flange and a four-way lug-wrench (56) is placed over the wheel interfacing with the slots in the body. A locking plate (58), that has a shackle-less padlock permanently attached thereon, is positioned over the shackle lock pin and the pin penetrates into the padlock while the short legs of the carrier body engage the underside of the locking plate and the long legs penetrate the plate, providing attachment of both the lug-wrench and spare tire and wheel to a vehicle.
