Definitions
- the present invention relates to a snow chain making use of used tire, and more particularly, to a snow chain made of a used tire, which can re-use a used tire economically by using used tire pads, which are made by dividing the used tire, as friction material.
- a snow chain uses a urethane pad or a steel chain as friction material.
- the snow chain using the steel chain has more excellent brake force than the snow chain using the urethane pad, but is not easy in mounting due to its heavy weight and makes a noise during traveling. Moreover, the snow chain using the steel chain may damage the tire and the road surface of a paved road due to its high hardness.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,016,856 discloses a traction device for tires (hereinafter, called "prior art 1")
- U.S. Patent No. 3,856,068 discloses a traction device (hereinafter, called "prior art 2").
- the prior art 1 includes inner fastening plates 3 a and 3b extending along a circumferential surface inside both rims of tire cutouts 2, and outer fastening plates 4 disposed outside the tire cutouts 2 to be fastened with the inner fastening plates 3 a and 3b with bolts 5.
- a plurality of straps 6 are connected to slots 7 of the inner fastening plates 3a and 3b, so that the straps 6 of all sides tighten inward and mount the tire using a buckle 8.
- coupling plates 18 are disposed on the inside and the outside of ends of end sections 16 of a cross link 12 cut in such a manner that both sides of a tire is in the form of a "V" letter, and fastened with a pair of rivets 20. After that, chains 10 pass between the coupling plates 18, and a lower rivet 22 is fastened at a lower center of the coupling plates 18 to be located inside the chain 10.
- the prior art 1 is very heavy due to too many metal plates 3 a, 3b and 4, and has a complicated structure and bad durability because the inner fastening plates 3 a and 3 require the slots 7 to couple the straps 6, the inner fastening plates 3 a and 3b and the outer fastening plates 4 must be fastened with the bolts 5, and the straps 6 are fastened.
- the prior art 2 is simple in its structure, but requires lots of troublesome work because the coupling plates 18 are connected to the ends of the end sections 16, and may be easily damaged due to shock generated when a car travels on a uneven surface of the road because the chains 10 are mounted with the rivet 22.
- the present invention provides a snow chain making use of used tire including: a plurality of used tire pads made by dividing a used tire in a circumferential direction; inner and outer connection members for connecting ends of the used tire pads at regular intervals, the inner and outer connection members being in the form of a trapezoid when they are spread; a plurality of spikes coupled to the surfaces of the used tire pads; inner and outer coupling means for separating the inner and outer connection members from each other, the inner and outer coupling means closely contacting the used tire pads to a tread surface of a tire in such a manner that the used tire pads go across the tread surface of the tire; and chains arranged between the used tire pads, ends of the chains being connected to the inner and outer connection members respectively.
