Abstract
A nonskid device for the wheels of vehicles, has a holding element (1) situated in the region of the wheel axis and used with elastic holding arms (2) holding a chain mesh (4). 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), the 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 a mounted state and rotatable with respect to the wheel, at least three holding arms attached to the holder, said 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 where it passes a first deflection to a second deflection located in an edge region of the holder, characterized in that the tension cord (7) runs from the second deflection (11) to at least one retaining 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 a pivoting movement of said tension lever into a tension position a pull can be introduced into the tension cord (7).
