Abstract: A strap-tensioning device includes a base that receives a rotatable drum rigidly connected to toothed wheels, and configured to engage a holding pawl; tensioning lever rotatably mounted by hinging onto the drum, and provided with a pawl for driving the toothed wheels; an unlocking pawl configured to release the toothed wheels from the respective engagement thereof with the holding pawl and with the driving pawl, rotatably mounted, independently of the rotation of the tensioning lever, by hinging onto the drum. The unlocking lever is rigidly connected to two parallel cams having the same profile, and configured to simultaneously engage, respectively, the holding pawl and the driving pawl, so as to release the rotation of the drum.

Abstract: An antiskid overshoe suitable for being reversibly secured to a shoe. The antiskid overshoe includes a net made of a textile material. The net includes cords produced by knitting, the cords combining to define meshes of the net suitable for forming cleats. Both ends of the net arc encapsulated in a strap, each defining a closed loop, through which an elastic cord passes, the elastic cord further passing through the meshes defined at the two side edges of the net.

Abstract: A strap tensioning device that includes a base having one of the ends of which accommodates a rotating drum that accommodates the end of a first strap section or first strap, the drum being capable of engaging with a tensioning lever articulated on the drum, the latter being disengageable relative to the tensioning lever; a tension shaft to which a second strap section or second strap is secured; means for the temporary storage of the first strap comprising elements that are independent both of the shaft for tensioning the second section or second strap, and of the drum, the elements being mounted on the base.

Abstract: An end fitting comprises a spigot end designed for reversibly fixing a wire rope to any type of functional part integral with or attached to a socket end. This spigot end is defined by an outer shell which is cylindrical overall; the shell comprising at least one fin. The spigot end comprises an axial housing designed to accommodate the wire rope. The shell has at least one through opening capable of accommodating an element for attaching said wire rope such as a pin or a rope fastener which passes through the wire rope. The spigot end is designed to cooperate with said socket end like a bayonet.

Abstract: This adhesion chain for the wheel of a motor vehicle comprises an adhesion tread intended to be in contact with at least the tread of the wheel concerned, and kept in place by means of respectively external and internal tensioning cables. The adhesion tread consists of a net prepared from textile material, said net being prepared by knitting of cords themselves prepared by knitting, so as to define the meshes of said net, and in that the cords include a reinforcing core from a high-modulus material.

Abstract: Hook for cable and in particular elastic cable, and cable provided with such a hook. This fastening hook is intended to be mounted at the end of a cable, in particular an elastic cable. The hook includes an insert, defining a bore into which the end of the cable is introduced. The end is traversed by a pin above the bore of the insert thereby defined. The assembly thus constituted being overmolded in a synthetic material and in particular a plastic.
