Abstract: Provided is 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 includes two or more line structures configured for encircling along two sidewalls of the tire, respectively. The device further includes a plurality of cross members configured for contacting a tread portion of the tire, the cross members connecting the line structures together. At least one cross member includes a strap with one or more traction components which include a plurality of raised structures arranged on a surface side of the traction components. Some raised structures are fitted with stud while others not. A strap suitable for use in the device is also provided.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A chain merchandising apparatus includes a frame, a cabinet secured to the frame, and a chain support mounted to the frame and located within the cabinet for supporting a plurality of chain containers. A chain cutter is moveably fixed to the apparatus so as to be facilely and safely selectively adjustable vertically and horizontally in relation thereto for permitting a user to position the chain cutter substantially adjacent to a preselected chain container supported on the chain support.

Abstract: A unitary container for storing and dispensing chain includes a box-shaped chain holder portion having a continuous top edge adapted for interlocking receipt of a selectively removable lid, a bottom wall, and first and second pairs of opposed side walls which extend between and connect the open top edge and the bottom wall. The container also includes a lid adapted for selectively easily removable attachment to the continuous open top edge of the chain holder position. The lid has an integral chain dispensing and retaining portion to permit access to and removal from the chain holder portion through the lid of desired lengths of chain, and is formed so as to deter chain removed from the chain holder from unintentionally slipping thereinto.
