CROSS MEMBER FOR NONSKID CHAINS.
Application filed March 5, 1927. Serial No. 173,124.
This invention relates to cross members 1 returned to provide the eye members 2 for non-skid chains for automobile wheels and continued by the arms 3. These arms 3 or the like and it is an object of the invenare longitudinally aligned and extend over tion to provide a cross member of this type the Z-bar 1 and have their extremities Weldp 5 constructed in a manner whereby effective ed or otherwise fixedly secured to provide gripping action is had upon the roadway an outer straight bar. Each eye member 2 Furthermore, it is an object of the 111- of a link L is freely interlocked with an vention to provide a cross member constructeye member of an adjacent link and when ed in a manner to operate effectively to prein applied position the Z-bar 1 is in direct 10 vent both skidding and slippage. contact with the tire carcass T.
The invention consists in the details of The Z-bar 1 of each of the links provides construction and in the combination and ar an effective medium to offset skidding while rangement of the several parts of my 1mthe outer straight bar provides an effective proved cross member for a non-skid chain medium to offset slippage, thereby assuring 15 whereby certain important advantages are effective gripping on the road surface.
attained and the device rendered simpler, From the foregoing description it is less expensive and otherwise more conventhought to be obvious that a cross member ient and advantageous for use, as will be for a non-skid chain constructed in accordhereinafter more fully set forth. ance with my invention is particularly well 20 The novel features of my invention will adapted for use by reason of the convenience hereinafter be definitely claimed. and facility with which it may be assembled In order that my invention may be the and operated, and it will also be obvious better understood, I will now proceed to that my invention is susceptible of some describe the same with reference to the acchange and modification without departing companying drawing, wherein 1- from the principles and spirit thereof and Figure 1 is a fragmentary view in side for this reason I do not wish to be underelevation illustrating an anti-skidding de stood aslimiting myself to the precise arvice embodying cross members constructed rangement and formation of the several in accordance with an embodiment of my inparts herein shown in carrying out my in- 30 ti vention in practice. except as hereinafter Figure 2 is an enlarged transverse secclaimed. tional view taken through the structure as I claim illustrated in Figure 1; i A chain link consisting of a continuous Figure 3 is a view in top plan of one of strand formed in the general shape of a 35 the links as herein comprised within a cross loop, said loop having a Z-shaped side bar member. and a straight side bar, said bars being dis- As disclosed in the accompanying drawposed in parallel planes, said strand having ing, my improved cross members M are eyes formed at the ends of the loop, said operatively engaged with the side chains C. eyes being disposed in the plane of the Z- Each of the cross members M comprises a shaped bar,and having at their inner sides plurality of links L, adjacent links being laterally disposed shank portions which freely engaged or connected. merge with the ends of the straight side Each of the links L as herein set forth is bar. formed from a single length of material and In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my embodies an inner bar 1 substantially in the signature.
