Abstract: A fastening member provided at the end of a spring-elastic mounting strap of a tire chain. The fastening member has an introduction passage and an attachment passage for a cooperating fastening member that is secured to the other end of the mounting strap. A guide passage interconnects the introduction passage and the attachment passage. This guide passage, at the level of a hook arm portion that partially separates the introduction passage from the attachment passage, extends at an angle of greater than 90.degree. relative to the longitudinal axis of the attachment passage. In this way, the cooperating fastening member can be easily hooked in the fastening member. The inclined course of the guide passage relative to the longitudinal axis of the attachment passage assures a high degree of protection against accidental unhooking.

Abstract: A protective tire chain having a running section and lateral sections which comprise at least one tensioning device for tensioning the tire chain. The tensioning device is by means of two link members linked to links of the tire chain. These two link members are continuously spring urged toward each other so that the tensioning device continuously tends to assume its shortest overall length and consequently to tighten the chain. The two link members are, however, also movable away from each other against the spring thrust into a position in which the tensioning device has its maximum overall length or at least a considerably greater length than its shortest possible length. The tensioning device is provided with an unlatchable locking device which is operable selectively to lock the tensioning device in its maximum or longer length position to facilitate the mounting of the tensioning device.

At least one end section of the bolt extends between the legs of the shackle and has a cross section which is smaller than the cross section of the bores in the legs of the shackle stirrup.

Abstract: A tensioning device for a tire chain, which comprises a first link member adapted to receive a chain link, a second link member adapted to receive another chain link, and an intermediate member, e.g. in the form of a tubular member, which is connected to the first link member and is interposed between the first link member and the second link member. The second link member is movable relative to the intermediate member. A shaft member which is associated with the intermediate member is fixedly connected to the second link member while being movable relative to the first link member. Preloaded springs are associated with the intermediate member and continuously act upon the connecting member so as to urge the second link member in the direction toward the first link member.
