Abstract: A tire anti-skid device comprises a mounting member removably mounted on a side surface of a wheel of an automobile in such a manner as to be coaxial with the wheel; a plurality of arms made of elastic bodies, which radially extend from the mounting member; ground-contact portions each being formed by bending the leading edge of each of the arms, which are intended to be brought in contact with a tire tread surface; a ground-contact ring for connecting the adjacent ground-contact portions with each other, which is intended to be brought in contact with the tire tread surface; and reverse portions each being formed at a junction portion between the arm and the ground-contact portion, which are intended to reverse the ground-contact portions in such a manner that the inner surfaces in contact with the tire tread surface becomes the outer peripheral surfaces.

Abstract: A device for dislodging a tire bead from the bead seat of a wheel rim comprises a support member positionable on the upper side of the wheel rim, a pair of engaging pawl portions provided on the support member and engageable with the wheel rim from outside the outer periphery thereof at diametrically opposed positions of the rim for removably fixing the support member to the wheel rim, and a bead pusher provided on the support member adjacent to at least one of the engaging pawl portions. With the wheel rim clamped between the pawl portions at the opposed positions, the bead pusher is driven by rotating a screw to cause the pusher to dislodge the bead from the bead seat and push the bead into the center drop of the wheel rim.
