摘要

Two chain segments of a snow-chain are connected through elongated elements, where both ends of an element each exhibit an open slot in which a link of a chain segment is introduced. Thereafter, the slots are pressed shut until the chain links are at least formlocked, or even forcelocked therein. The method enables one to make the connection elements out of the same material as the one used for the chain segments, and to temper them together with the latter. Futhermore, the method can easily be performed by robots.
