| 摘要 | A temporary vehicle tire in the form of a wide, chain-like strip wrapped around the periphery of an automotive vehicle pneumatic tire mounted upon the rim of a vehicle wheel, the strip having spoke-like legs extending radially inwardly on opposite sides of the pneumatic tire and frictionally clamped to the side edges of the rim to form an independent outer wheel tread or tire. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. A temporary tire for a vehicle wheel, upon which a pneumatic tire is mounted, for attachment to the rim of the wheel and for encircling the tread of the tire comprising: a number of flat plates hingedly connected together end to end to form a chain-like strip, with the plates being approximately as wide as the width of the tire treads; the side edges of the plates having integral legs extended normally thereto to form spokes, with the free ends of said spokes being bent into inwardly opening channel shaped portions shaped to receive and frictionally grip the side edges of the rim of the wheel; said strip being normally wrapped around the circumference of the tire, covering the tread thereof, with the spokes extending radially inwardly on opposite sides of the tire, to grip the wheel rim, wherein the strip forms an independent tire-like tread around the outside of the tire. 2. A wheel as defined in claim 1 and said plates having integral hinge loops formed on their opposite ends for interfitting with corresponding hinge loops on the next adjacent plate, and with hinge pins fitted through each interfitted set of loops for forming said strip. 3. A wheel as defined in claim 1 and said plates each being in the form of a long, flat metal strip bent into a U-shape whose base forms the plate portion and whose legs form the spoke portions, with a hinge half formed on each opposite edge of the plate portion and connected to corresponding hinge halves located on the next adjacent plates to hingedly connect the plates together and thereby form a continuous chain; and at least one of the hinge connectors being manually releasable and connectable for opening and closing, respectively, the continuous chain. 4. A wheel as defined in claim 1 and the plates each having a rubber-like lower surface coating forming the outer peripheral face of the strip. 5. A wheel as defined in claim 4, and including tire studs embedded within and extending outwardly of said rubber-like lower surfaces for forming an ice gripping tread. |
