Abstract: A bag is disclosed for covering an endless track or chain of a tracked heavy equipment vehicle during transport. The bag includes an outer segment for covering an outer portion of the track extends laterally beyond side edges of the trailer flatbed. Forward and rearward lobes of the bag, respectively engage and cover forward and rearward ends of the track. An inner bag segment engages and covers the track between the side edges of the flatbed trailer supporting the tracked vehicle. A recess in an inside segment of the bag accommodates a track and allows the track to directly engage the supportive trailer. Tensioning straps and cords are used to further secure the bag to the track.

Abstract: A tire grip enhancing assembly includes a covering for removably positioning on a tire. The covering comprises a flexible material and has a first lateral wall, a second lateral wall and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends between the first and second lateral walls. Each of the first and second lateral walls has an annular opening extending therethrough. A plurality of raised members is attached to and extends away from the perimeter wall. A pair of bands is provided. Each the annular opening has a perimeter edge has one of the bands attached thereto. Each band is comprised of a resiliently stretchable material.

Abstract: A bead lock tire rim with a supplemental tread on the bead lock to protect the rim and the bolts. The tread extends past the edge of the rim to keep the tire from being split and the side area of the supplemental tread protects the bead lock while providing enhanced traction to the sidewall of the rim. A rim using a rounded projection to eliminate tire cutting and recessed nut locations with secure faceting is also provided for simple field repairs and long term durability.

Abstract: Anti-skidding device for vehicle wheels with tires, particularly pneumatic tires, for ice and snow surfaces. The anti-skidding device 100 consists of a support disk 120 which can be attached at the wheel disk or rim 11. The support disk is provided, adjacent to its periphery, with a plurality of anti-skidding arms 140 which extend radially in a fixed manner, equally spaced apart or are pivotal about axes 141 which extend parallel to the wheel disk bearing axis 117. The anti-skidding arms are prebent sections of plastic which engage over the tire travel surface 14 and carry spikes at their free ends.

Abstract: A removable resilient shield is maintained proximate the sidewalls of a tire for off-the-road vehicles to protect this critical area of the tire from damage due to contact with external objects such as rocks. The shield is attached to the rim flange. The radially inner portion of the shield is discontinuous to prevent accumulation of debris between the shield and the sidewall of a tire mounted on the rim.

Abstract: A removable resilient shield is maintained proximate the sidewall of a tire for off-the-road vehicles to protect this critical area of the tire from damage due to contact with external objects such as rocks. The shield is secured to the terminal portion of the rim flange. The radially inner portion of the shield is spaced axially of the rim and at least one radially extending passage is provided for removal of debris from between the shield and the sidewall of a tire mounted on the rim.
