UNITED-STATES PATENT/OFFICE.
Application fled Iuue lB, 1927. Serial No. 189,718.
This invention has'reference to a tool es cially designed for use in applyinglanti-s d chains to the wheels of motor ve lcles, the primary object of the invention bem provide means to hold the ends of the 9 am against displacement while the wheel s being turned to bring the ends of the chain to a position where they may be secured together, with facility. i
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be employed as a tensioning device to take up slack in the skid chain to insure against displacement of the chain after it has been applied.
With
the foregoing and other objects in roceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it beiniunderstood that changes in the precise ein odiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing Referring to the drawmgs Fi ure 1 is an elevational view illustrating the tool and manner of using the tool on the inside of a motor vehicle wheel. I
Figure 2 is an elevational view illustrating the tool for use in'applying the chain at the outer side of a wheel.
Figure 3 is an elevational view illustrating the sections of the tool as connected.
Figure 4 is an elevational view of one section of the tool.
Figure 5 is an elevational view of the cooperating section of the tool.
Fi re 6 is an elevational view showing the evice used for tensioning an anti-skid chain. v
, Referring to the drawings in detail, the
tool embodies cooperating sections 5 and 6, each section includin a coiled spring 7 forming the body portion of the section and a book 8 at one end of the body portion. At one end of one of the sections is a socket member 9 which is provided with a bayonet slot 10 to accommodate the laterally extended pins 11 formed on the reduced end 12 of the end member 13 of-the section 6, so
view which will appear as the description *anti-skid chain bein from the spirit of the. invention. 7
that the sections may be readily and easily connected as shown by, Figure 3 of the drawings to add length to the tool and permit the tool to be secured to the inner side of the chain with facility? -The body fportion 14 of the section 6 isalso in the rm of a heavy coiled spring having a hook 15 secured thereto, the hooks 8 and 15 being identical and designed to be positioned in links of the chain bein positioned, adjacent to the ends of the c ain to hold the ends of the chain together.
The members 9 and 13 are provided with hooks 16 and 17 respectively, which hooks are designed to be positioned in links of the chain at the oposite end of the chain so that the spring members will tend to draw the ends of the chain taut at all times.
In the use of the device, the hook member 8 of section 5 is positioned in a link of the applied, after the chain has been positioned over the upper portion of the wheel or the initial position of the chain while being applied.
The sections 5 and 6 are now connected in a manner as shown by Figure 3, and the hook member 8 is .hooked into a link of the chain at the inner side of the wheel. The tool is now pulled towards the operator and 'the hook 16 placed in a link of the chain at the opposite end of the chain.
Section 6 is now disconnected from the section 5 and the hook member 15 thereof is positioned in a link of the chain at the outside of the wheel, and the hook 17 is positioned in a link of the chain at the opposite end thereof. With the sections of the tool in this position, the vehicle is moved to bring the free endsof the chain to a position where they may be readily and easily connected, the tool not only holding the chain against displacement, but at the same time tensioning the chain, relieving the operator of this responsibility.
After the ends of the chain have been connectedin the usual manner, the sections of the tool may be positioned in a manner as shown by Figure 6 to take upslack in the chain.
I claim:
' A tool for-applying anti-skid chains ineluding a section having a hook formed at one of its ends, a hook formed adjacent to the opposite end of the section, said hooks adapted to be positioned in links of an antiskid chain, and a substantially long removable lever section secured to the first mentioned section, said lever section adapted to extend an appreciable distance beyond the periphery of the Wheel on which the chain is positioned. 10 In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature.
