ABSTRACT:
An anti-skid device for use with a vehicle ground-engaging wheel, and which includes a traction pad for wedging under a vehicle wheel to allow traction thereon upon rotation of a vehicle wheel. A retractor apparatus is adapted to be mounted on the bumper of the vehicle, and it includes a housing in which is rotatably mounted a cable and return spring reel. A cable is coiled around the reel, and it extends through an opening in the housing and is adapted to be attached to a handle on the pad. After the vehicle has moved over the pad and forward a distance equal to the length of the cable, a jerk is imposed on the cable by the forwardly moving vehicle which releases a spring loaded retainer pin that holds the reel in a wound-up position during movement of the wheel over the pad, and permits the reel to move in a reverse direction to retract the cable and move the pad to a position adjacent the retractor apparatus.
