  • Patent number: 10308084
    Abstract: A device to increase the grip of the tread of the wheel of a vehicle is disclosed. A base is secured to the outside of the face of the rim of a wheel, and a plurality of moving spokes whose ends are connected to claws are elastically connected to each other to form a belt whose diameter progressively increases during its positioning. The moving spokes cause the belt to switch from a retracted rest configuration having the shape of an annulus, in which the claws are arranged inside the perimeter of the base (2), to a configuration that make its extension progressively increase around the tread, wherein the claws contact a roadbed.
