ABSTRACT:
A centrifugal chain assembly having a holder for a skid prevention device for a motor vehicle which can be put into operation when needed and which can be made inoperative again is formed by a plurality of elements which are axially movable and also pivotable relative to one another, which, by their construction and movability provided for adjustment can be employed equally at both sides of a motor vehicle and can be used for different types and models of motor vehicles. An adjustable ball joint is provided between a centrifugal wheel and the free end of a pivot arm, which pivots the centrifugal wheel, together with chain lengths secured to the centrifugal wheel, from a rest position into an operative position, in which the centrifugal wheel abuts against the side face, directed inwardly of the motor vehicle, of a driven motor vehicle wheel and is set in rotation by the wheel during travel. A centrifugal wheel carrier holds the centrifugal wheel of the centrifugal chain assembly eccentrically on a pivot arm, a resilient element being provided between the centrifugal wheel carrier and the pivot arm. In this way, the centrifugal wheel can carry out a pivotal movement relative to the pivot arm when disturbances are produced by the chain lengths and, when the disturbances have been ended, can be drawn back into its rest position.
