ABSTRACT:
Applicator for applying transverse traction sections to an automobile tire having a toothed cog mounted on the outer surface of the hub at each of the openings between the hub and rim, which are connected in driving engagement with a manually operated worm-gear drive unit, the lead of the worm being such as to lock the cog against rotation of its own accord. A perforated steel ribbon slidably extends out of one end of a sheath secured diametrically across the wheel hub, and passes over and in meshing engagement with the cog and extends through a channel secured to the rim at the opening. The steel ribbon is so arranged so that when the cog is operated to extend the steel ribbon out of the sheath, the lead end of the ribbon will curl around the tire from the inside to the outside so as to enable one end of a traction section to be secured thereto and then drawn over the tire by retracting the ribbon into the sheath. The other end of the traction section is then secured to a hook disposed on the outer side of the rim.
