Abstract: Chain links for anti-skid chains, integrating cross chain end attachment with side member sections is disclosed. Fastening devices attached to opposite ends of the inner side member and extended to the outer side member thereby forming an additional cross member is provided. Leader devices for the extension are also disclosed. Binder devices for the outer side member are disclosed. A flagging device for chain orientation is further disclosed.

Abstract: A plurality of individual, pre-formed cutting tips attached to one another in an adjoining series to form an elongate stick of tips for sequential attachment to the teeth or cutting portions of cutting tools. Each tip in the stick has a commonly oriented contact surface for attachment to the cutting tool, and a separate pre-formed cutting edge that forms the cutting edge of the tool once the tip has been attached. Attachment of a tip to a cutting tool is accomplished by positioning the contact surface of the lead tip in a stick proximate the tool, and severing the connection between the tip and the remainder of the stick. The tips forming the stick are preferably attached to one another by a meltable adhesive spread over their respective contact surfaces, such adhesive having a melting point lower than that of the tips. The respective tips in the stick are operatively connected to separate teeth or tools by the same adhesive.
