Hoist tire hanger

Abstract

Automotive maintenance involving tire removal from automobiles is made more convenient and safer by a tire-hanging device. The tire-hanging device attaches to the automotive hoist. The tire-hanging device provides a place for the tire to be located while it is removed from the vehicle. The tire is maintained at a comfortable work height relative to the workspace and prevents the worker from having to repeatedly bend over and lift a relatively heavy weight from the ground to the work height.

1 . A tire hanger for use with a vehicle hoist, the vehicle hoist including a horizontal support member, the tire hanging device comprising: 
 a hoist wrap section arranged to engage to the horizontal support member;    a tire hanging section arranged to engage an tire; and,    an elongated section disposed between the hoist wrap section and the tire hanging section,    the elongated section being arranged to position the tire hanging section relative to the hoist wrap section.
