' Another ob] ect is the provision of an antiskiddin device for vehicle wheels including ity of pairs of gripping chains, the chains ofeach pair-being extended divergently over the tread of the tire in spaced connected at their free ends to the retaining or side chain.

With these and other objects inview, the

combination and arrangement of parts as 1 will be hereinafter specifically described, claimed andillustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which: J

vehicle wheel, the free ends of the side chain'5 are connected, in the manner illustrated in Fig. 1, and said chain is arranged upon one side of the vehicle Wheel 6, preferably upon the outside thereof. The rings 10 are s'ubse- ANIA, ASSIGNOB or THREE- ms movable longitudinally upon the- Each .of the anti-skidding or gripping elev uently adjusted longitudinally of the side, I

c ain 5 and the gripping or anti-skidding chains 9 are clamped underthe .wheel rim,

across the tread ofthe tire and are fastened in position by engaging the hooks-111 thereof with the links of the side chain 5. From the rings 10 to the trea'd of the, vehicle tire, the

chains 9 are preferably extended-divergently, so asto space the portions of said chains surface of the tire which embrace thetread and thus render the anti-skidding device more effective in use. v What I claim is;

The combination with a wheelincludin spokes and a felly having a tire thereon o a retaining chain of less circumference than the wheel, andadapted to extend circumferentially of said wheel, and upon one side thereof, gripping chams having one of their ends secured to the retaining chain and arranged in pairs, the gripping chains of each pair adapted to extend uppn each side of the spokes from one side of t e wheel and about the tire to the other side of the wheel, hooks secured to the free ends of the gripping chains and to the retaining chain upon each side'of the connection of the other ends of said gripping chains to the retainin chain, and means for adklstably securing 31 of the retaining c ain together.

' In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
