Abstract: A connector for chains, particularly tire chains, comprises a substantially C-shaped main body (1) whose free arms (3,4) define an insertion gap (5). In a position lying opposite the insertion gap (5) the yoke portion (2) of the main body (1) has roof shaped surfaces (11,12) the apex line of which is intersected by the axis of a stepped bore (6) for receiving a retaining pin (7,14,19) and extends at a right angle to the place of the arms (3,4) and the yoke portion (2). The retaining pin (7,14,19) has an annular flange (8) and is held in its retaining position by means of at least one securing element (10) which is seated in a bore (9,17,18) intersecting the stepped bore (6).

Abstract: An improved tire chain in which the chain length on the inner side of a tire may be remotely connected by means of a releasable connecting means. The releasable connecting means is initially engaged with a hook and a connecting link on the inner side chain, and a pull on its handle causes the hook to engage with the connecting link. In a preferred embodiment, the connecting means automatically disengages from the chain.
