Abstract
The tire traction device is configured for use with a vehicle. The tire traction device attaches to the wheel and tire of the vehicle such that the tire traction device distributes the load delivered through the load path carried by the wheel and tire of the vehicle over a greater surface area than can be provided by the wheel and tire of the vehicle alone. The distribution of the load over this greater surface increases the traction of the wheel and tire of the vehicle on supporting surfaces comprising granular materials. The tire traction device comprises a first stanchion, a second stanchion, a base plate, and a strap. The base plate increases the load distribution of the wheel and tire of the vehicle. The first stanchion, the second stanchion and the strap attach the tire traction device to the wheel and tire of the vehicle.
Claims17
A non-skid device comprising
- a first stanchion, a second stanchion, a base plate, and a strap;
- wherein the non-skid device is configured for use with a vehicle;
- wherein the vehicle is further defined with a wheel and a tire;
- wherein the tire is further defined with a first outer sidewall and a second outer sidewall;
- wherein the wheel is further defined with a wheel disk;
- wherein the non-skid device is configured for use with the wheel and tire of the vehicle;
- wherein the first stanchion, the second stanchion and the strap attach the base plate to the wheel and tire of the vehicle;
- wherein the non-skid device increases the load bearing surface area relative to the surface area provided by the wheel and tire of the vehicle;
- wherein the base plate is further defined with a medial surface and a distal surface;
- wherein the strap is further defined with a first end and a second end;
- wherein the first stanchion is a cantilever prism structure;
- wherein the first stanchion projects perpendicularly away from the medial surface of the base plate;
- wherein the first stanchion is further defined with a first fixed end and a first free end;
- wherein the second stanchion is a cantilever prism structure;
- wherein the second stanchion projects perpendicularly away from the medial surface of the base plate;
- wherein the second stanchion is further defined with a second fixed end and a second free end;
- wherein the first end of the strap permanently attaches to the free end of the first stanchion;
- wherein the second end of the strap removably attaches to the second stanchion;
- wherein the second stanchion is a telescopic structure;
- wherein the span of the length of the second stanchion from the fixed end attached to the base plate to the free end of the second stanchion is adjustable;
- wherein the second stanchion comprises a first arm, a second arm, a ratchet, and a detent;
- wherein the detent connects the second arm to the first arm;
- wherein the first arm is a hollow first prism that is further defined with an inner dimension;
- wherein the second arm is a second prism that is further defined with an outer dimension;
- wherein the first arm and the second arm are geometrically similar.
