An apparatus providing auxiliary traction to a riding lawnmower or similarly light off-road vehicle having a drive wheel with a hub anchored to a drive axle. The apparatus generally includes at least one traction bar having a pair of traction ends equally spaced beyond the outer circumference of the wheel. The traction bar anchored to a carrier mounted to the hub of the drive wheel. A traction bar of variable length may be achieved by having two traction arms, one telescopically received within the other, with a length-locking means such as retainer pins inserted through aligned bores extending through the overlapping traction arms and the carrier mounted to the hub.

An attachment for a vehicle wheel allows the vehicle to be driven when the tire is flat. The attachment includes a main body having a mounting portion and a running surface portion. When ready to be mounted, the mounting portion has a closed circumference.

This disclosure relates to an attachment for a vehicle wheel which allows the vehicle to be driven with limited tire functions.

An attachment for a vehicle wheel enables driving operation with limited tire function. The attachment may include a base body, a tread surface for contacting a road surface, at least one bracing apparatus configured to engage with a hook portion behind a portion of a rim of the vehicle wheel and a bracing mechanism having a contact portion configured to actuate the bracing apparatus and to bring the hook portion into engagement behind the portion of the upon actuation of the contact portion.

An attachment for a vehicle wheel enables driving operation with limited tire function. The attachment includes a base body and a fastening device for fastening the attachment to a rim of the vehicle wheel, wherein the base body, when seen in an axial direction, is circular or annular in shape.

An attachment for a vehicle wheel allows operation when the tire is flat. The attachment may include a main body which is circular or substantially annular when seen in an axial direction, a positioning device for positioning the attachment on a rim of the vehicle wheel, and a fastening device for fastening the attachment to the rim of the vehicle wheel. The fastening device may be adapted to be actuated independently of the positioning device.

This disclosure relates to a clamping device for tensioning an attachment on a rim of a vehicle wheel, wherein the attachment configured to enable a driving operation with a restricted tire function in an operating state in which it is fastened on the vehicle wheel.

The vehicle wheel rim with integral spare tire includes a main wheel and an integral spare tire. The main wheel includes a main rim well, an inner and outer flange, and a center disc. A main tire may be mounted onto the main wheel and the main wheel may be bolted onto a hub on an axle of a vehicle. The integral spare tire includes a safety rim well, safely rim, and safety tire with the safety tire mounted on the safety rim. The integral spare tire is coupled to the inside of the main wheel. The dimensions of the main wheel, main tire, and integral spare tire are such that when the main tire is inflated the integral spare tire does not touch the road surface. However if the main tire goes flat the integral spare tire will touch the road surface and will support the vehicle.

An attachment is provided for a vehicle wheel for enabling a driving operation with restricted tire functions. A system includes the attachment and a rim of a vehicle wheel.

Wheel hub adaptor (11) attachable to vehicle wheel to attach vehicle accessory for rotation with vehicle wheel, has an inner mounting plate (15) with recesses or apertures (17) to match a vehicle wheel stud pattern, a body (19) extending from the plate (15) to an outer mounting plate (27) having a mount to which the vehicle accessory attaches. The mount has apertures (65) which align with studs (75) on a mating mount of the vehicle accessory. The inner mounting plate and the outer mounting plate mount to the vehicle wheel and vehicle accessory respectively, by rotating apertures (17 65) to stop portions (35 71), and is secured by a bolt passing through one of two circular apertures (43 45) or (67 69). Vehicle accessories can be provided like a paddle to self-propel the vehicle in sand, and a wheel to widen the vehicle track.
