发明名称 Apparatus and method for increasing the traction of vehicle wheels
摘要 A traction device for a vehicle wheel can include a first locking segment and a second locking segment adapted to receive the first locking segment in a first direction. The second locking segment can be adapted to stop movement of the first locking segment through the second locking segment in a second direction opposite to the first direction. At least one traction element can be located between the first locking segment and the second locking segment. A method of attaching a traction device to a vehicle wheel including a rim and a tire is also described.

主权项 1. A traction device for a vehicle wheel, comprising: a first locking segment; a second locking segment adapted to receive the first locking segment in a first direction, wherein the second locking segment is adapted to stop movement of the first locking segment through the second locking segment in a second direction opposite to the first direction; at least one traction element located between the first locking segment and the second locking segment; and an elongated band extending between the first locking segment and the second locking segment, the elongated band defining an upper surface and a lower surface; wherein the traction element comprises: a base formed integrally with the elongated band, the base protruding above the upper surface of the elongated band and defining a plateau, the base having sidewalls angled inwardly from the elongated band toward the plateau; anda spike formed integrally with the base, the spike protruding upwardly from the plateau;wherein the plateau defines a first width, and the spike defines a second width along the plateau that is smaller than the first width.
