Patent No. DE10230179 for a jack or “Tire release device”.The invention provides a novel jack for lifting spring-mounted wheels of a vehicle. It uses a support structure (11) that engages with the outer rim (4) of the wheels(1). The jack moves directly the wheels and not the body of the vehicle. Therefore, less length of jack lift is sufficient to free the wheels from the ground.
