The anti slip device for automobile wheels with wheel discs arranged at inner side plain of the wheel, load-bearing part of which is attachable to the wheel from the outside. The extensible body is placed slidingly in the direction parallel to the wheel axis on the load-bearing part. There are arms fulcrumed on the extensible body around axes parallel to the wheel axis. The arms are fitted, at their ends, with surfaces of engagement, which bear against the tire peripheral surface in the working position. The extensible body is placed on the load-bearing part in the guidance, which comprises at least two pipes, with one outer pipe placed slidingly on each of the pipes and attached to the extensible body. There are tensile springs arranged in the pipes, and these springs are attached by one end to the load bearing part, and by the other end to the extensible body.

Disclosed herein is an automatically operated antiskid apparatus for automobile tires. The automatically operated antiskid apparatus includes an operating signal generating unit for transmitting an operating signal generated by a bar operating switch to positions in the vicinity of automotive wheels. A signal transmitting unit receives the operating signal from the operating signal generating unit and transmits the operating signal from a stationary automobile body to rotating wheel rims. An antiskid bar and antiskid bar operating unit receives the operating signal from the signal transmitting unit and operates antiskid bars embedded in tread portions of the tires.

The present disclosure concerns an emergency traction device that may be easily and securely fitted on vehicles having tires of different diameters and widths. A single winch sizes and secures the traction device for the proper tire diameter and then for the proper tire width. Traction can be further enhanced with members that substantially circumscribe the tire. Operation of the traction device can be enhanced by providing nonreversible gearing for operating the winch.

Disclosed is a heavy duty retractable traction intensifyer for adding utility and maximizing performance of agricultural tractors, harvesting combines and the like. The device has a series of aggressive and thin spades, which in fields slice into stronger subsurface layer of soil, thereby increasing drawbar pull and decreasing wheel slip and soil compaction. The series of spades is arranged in groups, each secured to a length of sturdy wire rope which is threaded through a series of tubes, whereby each group can be rotated and thus expeditiously retracted for driving on roads. The series of tubes is the outermost portion of a flexible frame, bolted to an accompanying powered tire-wheel assembly via a spacer. For obtaining a comfortable ride during heavy pulling in fields said frame includes a series of resilient semicircle-shaped loops, formed from flat stock of high-strength spring-like steel, extending radially outward from a circular band forming the innermost portion thereof. For assuring satisfactory durability and reliability of the device said frame further includes various devices for keeping magnitude of flexing within safe limits and a spade-lock. The application of wire rope is as unique as it is useful. Not only does it provide a simple way of securing and supporting the series of spades but its inherent capacity for flexing is here fully utilized, resulting in the feature of ultra-quick conversion from "rubber-drive" for roads to "steel-drive" for fields and vice versa.

A traction device for wheeled vehicles comprises a frame for securing to a wheel of a vehicle; a grip enclosure operably secured to the frame; a grip assembly radially slidably received within the grip enclosure; and an actuator secured to the frame for extending and retracting the grip assembly in the radial direction of the wheel. The grip assembly includes a flexible outer end portion adapted to automatically follow substantially the peripheral cross-sectional shape of the tire when in the extended position. The grip enclosure includes a guide portion adapted to receive and straighten the flexible outer end portion when the grip assembly is in the retracted position. A sprocket chain is operably secured to the flexible outer end of the grip assembly. It provides rigidity to the flexible outer end in the plane of rotation of the tire and flexibility in the transverse direction into the plane of the tire.

There is disclosed a traction enhancing device for a wheeled agricultural tractor, in which a flexible frame comprises a circular band, to which are welded a series of spade holders. The frame is bolted to the rim of the wheel by spacers, so that the frame is in non-contacting relationship with the tire. The spade holders are fabricated from flat stock of high strength spring-like steel, formed into a semicircles, and have outer tubular anchors. These anchors encircle a plurality of wire ropes that lie in mutual end-to-end relationship and described a circle that is concentric with the wheel. A series of spade assemblies are rigidly fastened on the wire ropes. The wire ropes are preloaded, and can be rotated within the anchors so that the spades assemblies alternate between a ground-engaging position and a ground-avoiding position. The spades each include lugs that slice into the strong subsurface layers of the soil, and provide a significant degree of traction improvement as the wheel turns. The flexible frame and spades follow the tire's contour, thereby forming its own elongated footprint as the wheel turns. As there is no contact between the frame and tire, riding comfort is not adversely affected even at heavy pull on a dry soil surface. Under the influence of vertical load and drawbar pull the device deforms as the spades penetrate into the soil. The dimensions of the spade holders and their spring-like elasticity allows structural compression to repeatedly occur without permanent deformation.

A detachable anti-skid device for a vehicle wheel tire comprises a support bearing a series of anti-skid components extending transversely over the tread of the tire and at least one pneumatic jack fed from the air valve of the tire and making it possible to apply the anti-skid components against the tire. The support is formed by a ring having a diameter which is slightly less than that of the tire and on which the anti-skid components are pivotally mounted. The ring also comprises a hub with a compressed-air distribution chamber connected by a rotary connection to the inlet valve of the tire and to the control jacks of the anti-skid components.

A vehicle tire blowout protector is disclosed which comprises a first sidewall member with a peripheral shoulder having sufficient strength to support the vehicle. The sidewall member is mounted to the vehicle wheel so that it is adjacent to one side of the vehicle tire, and the peripheral shoulder is concentric to, and of a somewhat smaller outer diameter than, the vehicle tire.
摘要:
An assembly securely mounted to a wheel of an automotive vehicle to provide continual availability of cleats to be fitted around the treads of a tire for use in driving an automotive vehicle through mud or snow. The assembly consists of a cylindrical plate with a series of round through holes for affixing to a range of automotive wheel configurations with elongated lug nuts and bolts, a series of L-shaped brackets securely affixed around the outside perimeter of the mounting plate, a spring-loaded telescoping shaft extending from each L-shaped bracket parallel to the outside of a vehicle tire, a cleat affixed on the outside end of each telescoping shaft, so that each cleat can be locked in position around the tire treads with the telescoping shaft in the telescoping position and with each cleat further being placed in a locked position near the side of the tire when the telescoping shaft is in a retracted position so as to be out of the way when not in use.
