[020] The terms and words used in the following description are not limited to the bibliographical meanings, but, are merely used to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the invention. Accordingly, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention are provided for illustrative purpose only and not for the purpose of limiting the invention.

[021] It is to be understood that the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[022] It should be emphasized that the term “comprises/comprising” when used in this specification is taken to specify the presence of stated features, steps or components but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, components or groups thereof.

[023] The present invention relates to a spare wheel mounting arrangement for vehicles. Particularly, the present invention relates to spare wheel arrangement securing the spare wheel on the bottom surface of rear box, thereby providing safety to the arrangement.

[024] The spare wheel mounting arrangement (100) for three- wheeled vehicle comprising a rear box (102), a mounting plate (104) connected to the bottom surface of the rear box (102), a spare wheel (106) remotely mounted over on the mounting plate (104), a pair of rods (108) affixed through a fasteners (110) on the rear box (102) to support the spare wheel and a controller (112) installed inside the rear box (102) ensures the safety of the spare wheel (106).

[025] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the mounting plate (104) is connected to the bottom of the rear box (102) with the help of supporting road and bush and bolt assembly. The mounting plate (104) is used to fix the spare wheel on the bottom surface of rear box (102) with the help of nuts and bolts providing. The spare wheel (106) remotely mounted over on the mounting plate (104). The mounting plate (104) providing strength to the mounting arrangement of the spare wheel (106).
