Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a combination of a ladder-shaped non-slip device to be mounted on an automobile tire, a mounting aid for the non-slip device, and a case for storing them.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A ladder-shaped non-slip device called a metal ladder chain includes a chain body and a band.

[0003] The chain body is composed of a number of tread chains that cross the tread of an automobile tire, between an inner chain arranged circumferentially inside the tire and an outer chain arranged circumferentially outside the tire. It is attached at regular intervals. The inner chain is provided at one end with a hook-shaped inner connecting tool connected to the other end. The outer chain is provided at one end with a hook-shaped outer connecting member connected to the other end.

In the band, a number of hook-shaped hooks for hooking on the outer chain are attached to an elastic band of rubber bands that pulls the outer chain of the chain body wound around the ground contact surface of the tire toward the center of the tire.

[0005] The metal rudder chain mounting aid crosses one tread chain of the chain main body directly below the tire and across the ground contact surface of the tire in order to facilitate mounting the metal rudder chain on the tire of the automobile. It is a tool that is arranged along a direction and can be moved in that direction. A tread chain insertion groove is provided on the upper surface of the tire mounting board on which the tires of the vehicle are mounted to penetrate in a direction crossing the contact surface of the tire mounted on the tire mounting board.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, the above-mentioned ladder-shaped anti-slip device and its mounting aid are used when the former is mounted, and despite the fact that the latter has a close relationship when used, It is treated as a separate product in the automotive industry. The manufacturer packs both separately and wholesales them separately. The distributor purchases both separately and sells them separately. The user purchases both of them separately, keeps them together in a car or a garage, and removes and uses them at the time of use.

[0007] Therefore, the manufacturer and the seller of the automobile article handle the ladder-shaped anti-slip device and the mounting aid as separate products, respectively, which requires much labor. The user purchases both of them separately and keeps them together, which requires a lot of trouble.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 1) A combination of a ladder-shaped non-slip device to be mounted on an automobile tire, a mounting aid thereof, and a storage case thereof, wherein the non-slip device includes a chain body and a band. The chain body spans a large number of tread chains crossing the ground contact surface of the tire by bridging between the inner chain arranged circumferentially inside the tire and the outer chain arranged circumferentially outside the tire. Are mounted, and one end of each of the inner chain and the outer chain is provided with a connecting tool for connecting to the other end. The band is a ring-shaped elastic band that pulls the outer chain of the chain body wound around the ground contact surface of the tire toward the center of the tire. The mounting aid has a tread chain insertion groove that penetrates the tire mounting board on which the tire of the vehicle rides on the upper surface of the tire mounting board in a direction crossing the ground contact surface of the tire mounted on the tire mounting board. The storage case is provided with a lock mechanism for opening the upper surface of the case body, attaching a lid covering the upper surface opening to the case body so as to be openable and closable, and fixing the lid body to the case body. A combination of a tire anti-slip device, a mounting aid and a storage case, wherein the storage case stores the chain body, band, and mounting aid of the anti-slip device.

[0009] 2) In the above combination of the tire anti-slip device, the mounting aid and the storage case, the storage case has two chain bodies and two bands, which are stored in the storage case. It is characterized in that there is only one mounting aid.

[0010] 3) In the above combination of the tire anti-slip device, the mounting aid, and the storage case, the storage case is provided with a hand-held handle that holds the storage case in a hand.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 The ladder-shaped non-slip device and its mounting aid are stored together in a storage case.

[0012] Therefore, it is treated as a single product in the automotive supplies industry. Manufacturers and distributors do not have to deal with separate products. The user does not have to purchase them separately, and can keep them as they are. Does not require much labor for purchase and storage.

[0013]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In the embodiment, a pair of ladder-shaped antiskid devices 1 and 7 to be mounted on a pair of left and right tires of an automobile, and one mounting aid 11 for facilitating mounting of the antiskid devices 1 and 7 on the tires, and a pair of And the storage case 21 for storing one mounting aid 11.

The pair of ladder-shaped antiskid devices 1, 7 is called a metal ladder chain, and has the same structure for the left tire and the right tire, and includes a chain body 1 and a band 7, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 1, a chain main body 1 includes a metal inner chain 3 in which a large number of metal tread chains 2 traversing a ground contact surface of a tire are arranged in a circumferential direction inside a tire, and an outer side of the tire. It is attached to the metal outer chain 4 which is arranged in the circumferential direction at regular intervals. The inner chain 3 is provided at one end with a hook-shaped metal inner connecting tool 5 connected to the other end. The outer chain 4 is provided at one end with a hook-shaped metal outer connector 6 connected to the other end.

After that, the tire is put on the tire mounting board 12 and the tire is arranged just above the tread chain 2 inserted into the tread chain insertion groove 13. In this state, the chain main body 1 is wound around the ground contact surface of the tire, one end and the other end of the inner chain 3 of the chain main body 1 are connected by the inner connecting member 5, and one end and the other end of the outer chain 4 of the chain main body 1 are connected. The outer chain 4 is connected to the outer chain 4, and the hooks 9 of the band 7 are hooked on the outer chain 4. The outer chain 4 is pulled toward the center of the tire by the elastic band 8.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, the storage case 21 is a synthetic resin molded product, and has a shallow box-like shape that opens the upper surface of the box-like case body 22 and covers the upper surface opening 23 of the case body 22. The lid 24 is attached to one side of the case body 22 so as to be openable and closable with a hinge 25, and a lock mechanism 26 for fixing the side of the lid 24 opposite to the hinge 25 to the case 22 is provided. A hand-held handle 27 is provided so as to be undulating. The case body 22 has a plurality of shelves 28 that protrude and support the mounting aid 11 at the position of the upper surface opening 23 on both surfaces facing the inner surface.

The non-slip devices 1 and 7 and the mounting aid 11 are stored in a storage case 21 when not in use. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, two chain bodies 1 are put into the case body 22 in a lump state, and two bands 7 are put thereon in a state of being bent into small rings. In addition, one mounting aid 11 is put thereon. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the mounting aid 11 is placed on a shelf 28 on the inner surface of the case body 22 and horizontally supported at the position of the upper surface opening 23 of the case body 22. The upper opening 23 of the case body 22 is closed by the mounting aid 11.

After the chain body 1, the band 7 and the mounting aid 11 are put in the case body 22, the lid 24 is closed, and the upper surface opening 23 and the mounting aid 11 closing this are closed by the lid 24. Then, the cover 24 is fixed to the case 22 with the lock mechanism 26.

The storage case 21 containing the two chain bodies 1, the two bands 7, and the one mounting aid 11 is raised by holding the hand-held handle 27, lowered to the hand, and carried to the storage place. .
