Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti slip device (10) for a wheel (40) having a first side (40a), a second side (40b) and a tread (41). A securing arrangement (100) is used to secure the anti slip device (10) to the wheel (40). The securing arrangement (100) of the anti slip device (10) comprises a tensioning member (110) adapted to be foot operated by a user between a first position, in which the anti slip device (10) can be removed from the wheel (40), and a second position, in which the anti slip device (10) is substantially secured to the wheel (40). The present invention also relates to a method for operating the anti slip device (10).

Abstract: An anti-skid device (1) with mounting from the outside is described, comprising: a central hub (2) designed to be disposed to coincide with the wheel hub (101), a plurality of arms (20) protruding radially from the hub (2) and ending in terminal elements (21) designed to be disposed on the tyre tread, portions of chain (3) connected to the terminal elements (21) so as to form a ring on the tyre tread, an adapter device (5) adapted to be fixed to a wheel-fixing bolt (102) and carrying a tensioning strap (7) which passes through the hub (2) of the anti-skid device (1) to be tensioned by the user so as to move the hub (2) of the anti-skid device (1) towards the hub (101) of the wheel, a tensioning device (8) connected to the hub (2) of the anti-skid device (1), adapted to be operated by the user, to tension and to lock the tensioning strap (7).

Abstract: A snow chain (2) comprises an inner ring (3) designed to be closed on the side of the wheel destined to face toward the inside of the vehicle, an outer ring designed to be closed on the side of the wheel destined to face toward the outside of the vehicle and a series of portions of anti-skid chain (10, 10?) disposed on the tread of the tyre (1) of the wheel, which join the outer ring and the inner ring (3). The portions of chain (10, 10?) are chains with twisted links, connected to each other by means of joining elements (4) shaped as triangular links and connected to the inner ring (3) by means of an U-bolt connecting system (5).

Abstract: A non return block (5) for locking a tensioning terminal portion (7) of snow chains (2), comprising a body (51) which defines a channel (12) in which the terminal portion (7) passes and a ratchet or a pawl (13) pivoted on the body (51) to lock the terminal portion (7) is described. The non-return block comprises at least one insert (62, 63) of soft material fixed to the body (51) of the non-return block so as to protrude laterally therefrom to come into contact with the rim (8) of the wheel of the vehicle, avoiding deterioration thereof through rubbing.
