ABSTRACT:
An improved vehicle wheel traction apparatus comprises a plurality of barred traction plates which, when not interconnected, may be stacked together in a compact form for stowage. It includes means for interlocking the plurality of barred plates together to form a single loosely-articulated apparatus which automatically conforms in general profile to the profile of the rut in which the vehicle wheel is confined. The apparatus may be made as long as desired simply by interconnecting more individual plates. Because the combined apparatus rotates at articulated joints to conform to the rut, it is not subject to fracture from the weight of the car or other vehicle.
