Abstract
A device and method for increasing tire friction is provided. The device is especially suitable for use on slippery roads, such as roads which have snow and/or ice. The device is permanently secured to the vehicle wheel assembly and easily installed over the tire for use. The device has a plurality of friction grips which independently move from an inactive first position secured to a sidewall of a housing center of the device to an active second position secured over the tire of the vehicle wheel assembly.
Claims25
A device for increasing friction of a tire on a slippery surface comprising:
- a center housing having a top side, a bottom side and an interior and wherein the bottom side of the center housing is secured to a wheel assembly;
- a plurality of connection sectors located within the interior of the center housing;
- and
- a plurality of wires having a length, a first end and a second end and wherein the first end of each wire is secured within each of the plurality of connection sectors wherein each wire passes through a channel located in each one of a plurality of friction grips and wherein the friction grips are independently secured over a tire of a wheel in an active second position and wherein a friction grip is secured directly to the center housing while the device is in an inactive first position.
