ABSTRACT:
The hook unit of the present invention is adapted to receive truck tire chains when not in use, but which at times must be carried on the truck so as to be available in case of need therefor. The hook units are preferably employed in a pair and mounted in adjacent but laterally spaced relation on the truck; the truck tire chains, when out of use, being engaged with, spanning between, and depending from such pair of hook units. Each hook unit includes a bracket affixed to the truck, and an upwardly opening hook having an extension leg detachably engaged with the bracket whereby the hook may be detached and stored in those seasons or under road conditions when trucks do not need or carry tire chains.
In a modification of the hook unit and to prevent theft of the tire chains when hook-engaged, the extension leg of the hook is padlock-secured in the bracket, and a padlock-secured anti-theft bar spans the throat of the hook.
