Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tool for attaching a chain to be mounted on a tire when traveling on a snowy road, and more specifically, after a tire chain is put on the upper portion of the tire and then connected. It relates to a device that can easily connect both sides of a rear tire chain that is difficult to do.

[Prior Art] Conventional tire chains are mounted by jacking up the vehicle body, or by laying down the tire chains and then moving the car forward or backward to mount the chains. However, all of them were very troublesome work.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] This has the following drawbacks. (B) When attaching a tire chain, your hands or clothing may be contaminated by tires or mud attached to the vehicle body. (B) It takes time to install the tire chain. Especially on bad roads such as snow and puddle, and bad weather such as snowfall and strong winds, it takes more time to install. (C) Prolonged installation work on the road may cause an accident. The present invention has been made to eliminate these disadvantages.

[Means for Solving the Problem] A slender, narrow-diameter tube or a slender rod-shaped object having a size that is easy to grip is curved so that it can be easily turned inside the tire, and a chain is held at the front end of the tool. The lifting collar (C) is protrudingly provided, and the hook metal fitting (B) for pulling the chain is provided at the rear end, and the grips (D) (F) and the middle part are provided at both ends of the tool for easier grip. Place the grip (E). The present invention is a tire chain mounting tool having the above structure.

[Operation] First, a conventional tire chain is laid on the outside of the tire to correct twists and the like, and is laid flat on the tire. To prevent the hands and clothing from being contaminated, the brim of the tip of the mounting tool is directed forward, Hold the middle grip in your right hand, lift up the left part of the left chain with your finger, and hook the tip of the right hand tool to the right part of the right tire chain to lift it up. Cover the top of the tire. The hook on the right end of the chain at the rear end of the chain above the tire should go up slightly above the ground to the right of the tire, and the chain on the left side should be pushed inside the tire with the tip of the tool. Hang the hook on the left end of the chain with the metal fitting at the rear end of the tool, hold the grip with your left hand, and push the inside of the tire from left to right. Pull the tool with your right hand, pull out the chain link, remove it from the tool, and connect it to the hook-shaped wire hook on the right chain. After that, use the tip of the tool and your fingertips to fix the chain on the tire properly. Then connect the outer and outer chains and tighten them with a bum band.

[Example] As shown in FIG. 2, a tire chain (5) to which the present invention is applied is a general-purpose type in which an iron ring is chained, and a plate hook (3) is provided on the left side at the right end on the front side. The link (4) and the hook (1) at the right end on the rear side and the link (2) at the left end are arranged. In the chain (5), the present invention aims to connect the rear hook-shaped wire hook (1), which is difficult to connect, and the link (2).

First, as shown in FIG. 1A, (A) is an elongated, thin-diameter tube or rod having a thickness that is easy to grip, and is turned to the inside of the tire to be curved so that it is easy to use, and the tire chain is attached to the right end. The lifting collar (C) is protrudingly provided, and the hook metal fitting (B) for hooking and pulling the chain is provided at the left end, making it easier to hold the tool, such as iron even in cold weather. Place the grips (E) in the middle of the parts (D) and (F). In the case of a passenger car, a length of about 50 to 70 cm is preferable as a length for easy operation of the tool. Further, in FIG. 12 it is also possible to use it for work such as installing an angular object (G) at the right end and hooking and pulling the chain. Also, a storage area can be reduced by providing a joint part around the middle of the tool and dividing it into right and left parts. And, instead of squeezing the grip part, you can grip it anywhere by wrapping the entire tool with a heat-retaining material.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, first, the chain main body is arranged in front of the tire, and in FIG. 3, the left rear part of the chain is held by fingers, Grasp the grip (E) of the tool with your right hand, hook the tip of the tool (C) on the rear part of the right side of the chain, lift it, and cover it on the tire. As shown in Fig. 4, the hook on the right side of the chain should rise 10 cm above the ground and be on the right side of the tire. The left chain is pushed into the inside of the left side of the tire using the tool collar (C). As shown in Fig. 5, hook the tool's hook metal (B) on the link (2) at the end of the chain on the left rear side, turn the tool inside the tire from the left side and push it in so that it can be pulled out more easily from the right side. Next, pull out the tool with your right hand to pull out the link (2) of the chain, remove the link (2) from the hook metal fitting (B), and connect it to the hook-shaped wire hook (1) as shown in FIG. . As a result, the chain connection work inside the tire, which was difficult in the past, is completed. Next, as shown in FIG. 7, correct the problem by using the hook metal fitting (B) or brim (C) of the tool so that the center of the chain covers the center of the tire. Finally, connect both ends of the outer chain with your fingers and tighten the entire chain with a rubber band etc. to finish the installation work. (See FIGS. 8 and 9).

[Advantages of the Invention] The present invention based on the above configuration uses the attachment device of the present invention to cover the upper part of the tire with a tire chain, and hangs the hook metal fitting of the device on the chain link on the left end to fix the inside of the tire. Turn it to the right and connect the hook on the right end of the chain to the link on the left end. It was very difficult to perform with conventional work, but it can be easily installed. It has the excellent effect of eliminating the hassle of jacking up as usual, winding the chain under the tire and winding it around, and being unaffected by adverse road conditions. In addition, the equipment is lightweight and easy to hold, small and easy to grip, so it is easy to operate, and you can work with the equipment and your fingertips, so you can wear the tire chain in a short time without cleaning your hands or clothing. In addition, a joint part is provided in the middle of the mounting tool and divided into left and right parts, which allows compact storage and is convenient to carry.
