Description

ANTI-SKID DEVICE

The system of the impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame is placed on the wheel of the vehicle, when it doesn't move although it rotates because the road surface has sand, mud or snow.

With the additional resistance created between the tire of the wheel and the ground during rotation of the wheel, it gives impulse to the vehicle.

The previous inventive level after installing the system on the wheel adds little resistance because it hasn't specialized tread depending on the type of soil.

The previous inventive level does not provide absolute stability of the system with the wheel and the ground, resulting in system instability during movement.

Also, it hasn't protective components to avoid damaging the components of the system and the wheel by rubbing during rotation of the wheel.

In the prior inventive level, a component for the easier installation of the system is not provided.

The benefits of the system are: Firstly, the best and maximum resistance between the tire and the ground.

Secondly, the stable position of the system on the wheel and the stable contact of the system with the ground.

Thirdly, the protection of the components of the system and the wheel from rubbing during rotation of the wheel.

And fourthly, the easiest and quickest installation of the system due to the presence of an additional component.

The system uses two specialized treads that are complementary for maximum resistance.

The one made by rubber (A2) is used when the ground has mud and sand. And the second one, made by metal (Al), is used when the ground has snow or ice. Figures 1, 2, 6.

The metal one is always placed in the system and we use it, without the rubber one, when the ground has snow or ice. Figure 1.

When the soil has sand or mud we put the rubber tread surrounding the metal tread. Figures 3, 6, 7.

Thus, there is maximum resistance between the wheel and the ground. The modified system contains metal frame (D).

The metal frame is composed of the points (1,2,3,4,5,6), and it is separated by the angle (3,6) into two parts: the D6 (1,2,3,6) that as we place it, it contacts with the side (W) of the tire of the wheel and the D5 that as we place it, it contacts with the ground. Figures 4, 7, 9. Thus, the metal frame (D) provides stability to the system regarding the wheel and the ground during movement.

The system has protective components (P1.P2.P3.P4.P5) at the points that rubbing creates wear at the components of the system and the rim during rotation.

It has protective rubber (PI) between the belt (Bl) and the metal frame (D). Figure 6.

It has protective rubber (P2) between the belt (B2) and the metal tread (Al). Figures 2, 6.

It has protective rubber (P3) between the buckle (G) and the wheel. Figures 2, 6.

It has protective rubber (P4) between the metal frame (D) and the surface of the wheel. Figure 2.

It has metal protective component (P5) around the hole (H) and thus the belt (B2) does not wear. Figures 1 ,2.

It has oblong piece (Z) that helps the system to pass through the wheel quickly and easily. Figures 2,5.

The system is placed vertically on the wheel and surrounds the tire and rim.

The figures attached with the application are nine.

Figure 1 shows the system with the metal frame.

Figure 2 shows the entire system unassembled with all its accessories.

Figure 3 shows the two treads and the way they function together.

Figure 4 shows the operation of the system on the wheel.

Figure 5 shows the oblong component and its utility and how to use it.

Figure 6 shows the entire system with the rubber tread been placed around the metal tread.

Figure 7 shows the entire system placed on the wheel.

Figure 8 shows the profile that has the rubber tread for better resistance on the ground.

Figure 9 shows the metal frame.

The system is shown below with an analysis of the components and their usefulness during the application of the system.

The system consists of two treads, the metal one (Al) used for ice and snow and the rubber one (A2), that when is used for sand and mud surrounds and covers the metal tread (Al). Figures 2,3,6.

When the ground has snow or ice, the driver uses only the metal tread (Al) without the rubber one (A2). Figure 1.

When the soil has sand or mud the driver opens the links (El, E2) (figure 2) and separates the metal frame (D) from the metal tread (Al) , passes the metal tread (Al) through the rubber tread (A2) (figures 3,6) and joins again the metal frame (D) with the metal tread (Al) with the links (El, E2). In figure 6 we can see the final form. The system consists of the belt (Bl), which joins the buckle (G) with the metal frame (D).

Between the belt (Bl) and the metal frame (D), there is a rubber protective component (PI) for the protection of the belt (Bl) from rubbing on the metal frame (D). Figures 1, 6.

It also consists of the belt (B2) which is connected with the metal tread (Al). ^■

We pass the belt (B2) through the slot of the buckle (G) and we pull it. In this way, we tighten the system on the wheel. Figures 1,2,6,7.

Between the metal tread (Al) and the belt (B2), there is a rubber protective component (P2) for the protection of the belt (B2) from the metal tread (Al). Figures 2, 6.

To place the system easier and faster on the wheel, the belt (B2) has a hole (H) on its edge. A part of the oblong component (Z) with the hook passes through this hole, and then the oblong component (Z) passes with the system vertically to the wheel. Figures 2,5.

The hole (H) is surrounded by metal protective component (P5) for not damaging the belt (B2). Figure 2.

The system also includes the buckle (G) that fastens the system on the wheel, tightening the belt (B2). Figures 1,4,7.

The buckle (G) has a protective component (P3) on the inside in order the components of the wheel not to wear. Figures 2,6.

The system has also two links (El, E2) that pass through the holes (D2, D3) in the bottom of the metal frame (D) and join it with the metal tread (Al). Figure 1,2.

Moreover, the system includes the metal frame (D) that is connected with the belt (Bl), with the buckle (G) and with the links (El, E2) to the metal frame (Al). Figures 1,2.

After the installation of the system, the metal frame (D) rests against the outer side of the tire (W). Figures 4, 7.

The metal frame has an oblong hole (Dl) on its on edge through which the belt (Bl) passes. Figures 1,2,9.

The metal frame has also an angle (3,6) between the surfaces (D5) and (D6). Figure 9.

The surface (D5) is contacted with the ground (F). Figure 7.

The angle (3, 6) and the surfaces of the metal frame (D5) and (D6) provide stability to the system. Figures 2, 4, 7, 9. _.

The metal frame (D) has two holes (D2) and (D3). The links (El and E2) pass through them.

The links (El and E2) join the metal frame (D) with the metal tread (Al). Figures 1, 2, 9.

The metal frame has a rubber protective component (P4) on the side that contacts with the tire. Figures 2, 6. The system has an oblong component (Z), which has on its one edge the shape of a hook that passes through the hole (H), which is located on the edge of the belt (B2).

With the other edge of the oblong component (Z) we easily pass the belt (B2) and consecutively the entire system through the rim (Y) in order the belt (B2) to apply to the buckle (G). Figures 2,5.

The treads (Al) and (A2) are placed on the surface (S) of the tire that contacts with the ground (F). Figure 4.

With the installation of the system and the rotation of the wheel we have the maximum resistance between the wheel and the ground and consecutively movement to the vehicle.

The driver can place one or more systems on the wheel.

Claims

Claims The system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame

1. The system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame includes a metal frame (D) consisting of the points (1,2,3,4,5,6). The frame has two distinct parts, the surface D5 (3,4,5,6) and the surface D6 (1,2,3,6), separated by the angle (3.6). After we've placed the metal frame on the wheel, then we'll see that the surface (D6) contacts the outside of the tire of the wheel and the surface (D5) contacts the ground (F). After inserting the metal frame correctly, we see that it is located on the outer side (W) of the tire of the wheel.

After the system has been installed, the surface (D5) contacts with the ground (F) and the surface (D6) contacts with the outer side (W) of the tire. The angle (3,6), that the metal frame has, stabilises the function of the system with the ground (F) and the wheel If the angle (3,6) didn't exist on the metal frame, the system wouldn't be stable and would move vertically and uncontrollably on the wheel. This would have as a result the ineffectiveness of the system and the damage of it and the car, too.

The system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame also includes two holes (D2, D3), located on the surface D6 of the metal frame (D), which is the surface that contacts with the outer side (W) of the tire of the wheel.

When the soil has sand or mud, the driver opens the links (El, E2) and separates the metal frame (D) from the metal tread (Al). Then, the driver places the rubber tread (A2) in order for it to surrounds the metal tread (Al) and using the links (El, E2) joins again the metal frame (D) with the metal tread (Al). Thus, we achieve great resistance between the wheel and the sand or mud. Otherwise, the metal tread, without the rubber one, would dig the sand or mud and consecutively the vehicle would sank even more and couldn't be able to move.

When we want our vehicle to move on a ground (F) with ice we remove the rubber tread (A2) and use only the metal tread (Al). This found resistance on the ice and the wheel moves. Thus, we have a system for three kinds of grounds. (Figures 1,2,3,4,5,7,9)

2. According to the claim 1, we conclude that the system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame consists of two surfaces, D5 and D6, which are separated by an angle (3.6). The first part is the surface D5 that works as a stabilizing factor between the system and the ground. It consists of the points (3,4,5,6) and as mentioned above, contacts the ground after installing the system. The second part of the metal frame (D) is the surface D6 that operates as a stabilizing factor between the system and the wheel and consists of the points (1,2,3,6). This surface contacts the outer side (W) of the tire of the wheel. It should be noted that the surface D5 is not placed between the tire and the ground, but on the outer side (W) of the tire. The metal frame (D) consists of the surfaces D5 and D6 and operates as a stabilizing factor between the system, the wheel and the ground. If the angle (3,6) didn't exist on the metal frame, the system wouldn't be stable and would move vertically and uncontrollably on the wheel. This would have as a result the ineffectiveness of the system and the damage of it and the car, too. (Figures 1,2,7,9)

3. According to the claim 1 the system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame includes a rubber protective component (PI) between the metal frame (D) and the belt (Bl) in order the belt (Bl) to be protected from rubbing with the metal frame (D). The rubber protective component (PI) is placed in the oblong hole (Dl) located in the upper part of the metal frame (D). The belt (Bl) passes through the hole (Dl) and connects the buckle (G) with the metal frame (D). (Figure 6).

4. According to the claim 1 the system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame includes an oblong hole (Dl). This is located in one end of the metal surface (D6) of the metal frame (D), in order the belt (Bl) to pass through the metal frame (D) and join it with the buckle (G). (Figures 1,2,9)

5. According to the claim 1 the system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame includes two holes (D2, D3), located on the surface (D6) of the metal frame (D) on the other side, across the oblong hole.

The links (El) and (F-2) pass through the holes (D2, D3) joining in this way the metal frame (D) with the metal tread (Al).

When the soil has sand or mud, the driver opens the links (El, E2) and separates the metal frame (D) from the metal tread (Al). Then, the driver places the rubber tread (A2) in order for it to surrounds the metal tread (Al) and using the links (El, E2) joins again the metal frame (D) with the metal tread (Al). Thus, we have one product for three kinds of grounds, sand, mud and snow (Figures 1,2,9)

6. According to the claim 1 the system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame includes two treads. It has a metal tread (Al) and a rubber tread (A2) which can have a cylindrical shape and which surrounds the metal tread. The rubber tread (A2) may have protuberances on its surface vertically to the surface of the ground. Once the system is installed, these protuberances are helping to change the profile of the surface of the tire and thereby create greater resistance between the tire and the ground.

When we want our vehicle to move on a ground (F) with ice we remove the rubber tread (A2) and use only the metal tread (Al). This found resistance on the ice and the wheel moves. Thus, we have a system for three kinds of grounds. (Figures 2,3,8)

7. According to the claim 1 the system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with metal frame further comprises an elongated component (Z) which serves for easier installation of the system on the wheel. This component ends up to a hook at one end and thus passes through the hole (H) of the belt (B2), facilitating the passage of the entire system through the rim (Y). (Figures 2,5,7)

8. According to the claim 1 the system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame includes a hole (H) in the belt (B2) in order to pass the elongated component (Z) with the hook through this hole (H), as mentioned above. Therefore, the system passes more easily through the rim (Y) of the wheel with the help of the elongated component (Z). Around the hole (H) there is a protective component (P5) for protecting the belt (B2) from wear. (Figures 1,2,5)

9. According to the claim 1 the system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame comprises a rubber protective component (P3) on the inner side of the buckle (G). Since the buckle (G) is in contact with the rim (Y), this protective component is necessary in order the parts of the wheel not to wear out. (Figures 2,6)

10. According to the claim 1 the system of impetus of the vehicle wheel with a metal frame additionally comprises a rubber protective component (P2) between the metal tread (Al) and the belt (B2), to protect the belt from possible damage due to the contact between them. (Figures 2,6)
