Abstract
The invention relates to a nonskid device for the wheels of vehicles, comprising a holding element (1) situated in the region of the wheel axis and used with elastic holding arms (2) holding a chain mesh (4). According to the invention, a tension cable (7) is used to introduce tension forces into the holding arms (2). In order to introduce a defined tensile stress into the tension cable (7), said tension cable is connected to a pivotable tension lever (12).
Claims20
A nonskid device for vehicle wheels, with a holder, coming to rest in the region of the wheel axis in the mounted state and rotatable with respect to the wheel, for at least three holding arms, extending radially outward, for holding nonskid means distributed over the wheel circumference, and with a tension cord which serves for the introduction of tension forces into the holding arms and connects the holder to the wheel and which runs from the center of the holder via a first deflection to a second deflection located in the edge region of the holder, characterized in that the tension cord (7) is led from the second deflection (11) to at least one detaining member (13) at a tension lever (12) which is mounted pivotably on the holder (1) at a distance from the second deflection (11) and by means of the pivoting movement of which a pull can be introduced into the tension cord (7).
