ABSTRACT:
A cross member assembly of a tire chain comprises a flexible cable having double bushings at each of its ends. Each double bushing includes an outer bushing and an inner bushing spaced longitudinally of the cable and connected by a bridge. The outer bushing securely grips the cable, and the inner bushing embraces the cable without gripping it. Each double bushing is attached to a plate for connecting the cable to a side member of the tire chain. The plate has an opening through which the outer bushing is inserted and has a bent over tab for trapping the outer bushing between the tab and the body of plate, with the inner bushing located exteriorly of the opening and with the bridge located in the opening. Tire chains using the cross member assemblies have substantially increased endurance.
