An extended-life tire chain and method of extending the life of a tire chain. An extended-life tire chain has a plurality of chain links, a plurality of twin clevises each secured to two of the links, and a plurality of clevis pins each having a head on one of its extremities. Each twin clevis has two receptacles. Each clevis pin is removably disposed in a different one of the receptacles. The twin clevises are oriented such that, when the tire chain is installed on a tire, the heads project radially away from a tread surface of the tire.

The invention relates to a utility vehicle tire chain (1), in particular for forestry vehicles, tractors, or wheel loaders, which comprises a plurality of cleat plates (3) directly or indirectly connected to one another via chain strands (5), wherein each cleat plate (3) comprises at least one cleat (37) to improve traction which extends away from an upper side (49) of the cleat plate (3). The solution according to the invention can simplify the manufacture of a utility vehicle tire chain (1) and improve its stability.

A removable sanitary cover is disclosed, which may encase a wheel or a distal end of a leg of mobility assistance equipment or another object. The removable sanitary cover may comprise an elongated casing having a piece of elastic woven into and along each lateral edge of the casing such tension of the elastic causes the lateral edges of the casing to “hug” or envelope the wheel, providing a protective covering for the wheel. Closures disposed at each distal end of the casing may couple to achieve a secure fit. The method of using the removable sanitary cover may allow a user to reduce the transfer of contaminants into an area.

An anti fall-off cable chain includes two side ropes, a transition chains and connecting pieces, wherein the two side ropes are arranged horizontally, the transition chains are longitudinally arranged between the two side ropes, and the side ropes and the transition chains are connected through the connecting pieces. Each connecting piece includes an attaching part to be attached to a side face of a tire, a side rope mounting part arranged at one end of the attaching part, and a transition chain mounting part arranged at another end of the attaching part. When pulled by the part, attached to the tread of the tire, of the transition chain to tilt upwards, the transition chain connecting pieces trend to draw away from the mounting holes and are limited by first upper limiting parts.

The present disclosure relates to a device for increasing traction, and, in particular, to a device to be fitted on a tire or wheel for increasing, enhancing, or improving, the traction, or friction, between the tire or wheel and a surface that the tire or wheel is in contact with. The device comprises two or more line structures, at least two of which configured for encircling along two sidewalls of the tire, respectively. The device further comprises a plurality of cross members configured for contacting a tread portion of the tire, the cross members comprising mechanism for connecting the two or more line structures together. At least one of the cross members comprises a strap made of a material comprising textile, one or more traction components attached to at least a surface side of the strap. The present disclosure further provides a strap suitable for use in the device.

An external tensioning anti-skid chain system for an automobile, whose characteristics include a number of U-shaped anti-skid boards with the same structure and a set of tightening mechanisms. The two vertical edges of the U-shaped anti-skid plate are attached to the inside and outside of a tire. The first section and the last section of the U-shaped anti-skid plate are connected by a buckle structure. The tightening mechanism is installed between two adjacent U-shaped anti-skateboards, and the U-shaped anti-skid plates are mutually connected by connection rings. The anti-skid chain system has a simple structure, making installation and disassembly very easy.
