AUXILIARY PULLING APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING INSTALLATION OF ANTI-SKID DEVICES

摘要

An auxiliary pulling apparatus (237) for attachment of the two ends of a flexible retaining ring (14) of an anti skid device is disclosed. The auxiliary pulling apparatus (237) comprise a first attachment means (233) at its first end and a rope portion (235) connected to the first attachment means (233). The auxiliary pulling apparatus is characterized by a mass (234) which is connected to the second or outer end of its rope portion (235). The mass (234) is preferably spherical in shape and rotatably connected to the rope portion (235). The mass (234) maintains centrifugal forces when thrown towards the inner part of a vehicle and keeps the rope portion (235) tight and straight. The user releases the auxiliary pulling apparatus (237) off the anti skid device upon securing the first and second ends of the retaining ring (14).
