Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a tire and wheel protection plate that is inserted between a tire and a tire chain when the tire chain is installed.

``Prior Art'' When winter tire chains are installed, the side chains often damage the tires, or the tightening bands damage the wheels, and improvements have been desired. In particular, tires have become more sought after as cars have come to be equipped with expensive tires and aluminum wheels as cars become more luxurious. On the other hand, as technical documents of this type, for example, Utility Model Publication No. 53-26255 describes a cover for a tire chain in which the side chain is covered with rubber or flexible plastic; A slip prevention cover is disclosed in which a slip prevention cover having metal spikes is attached to the tire through this face plate.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" Although the above-mentioned conventional technology has achieved some results, it is impossible to prevent the scratches caused by the tightening band with the cover for the tire chain, and it is difficult to prevent the damage between the cover and the side chain. Insufficient break-in, making it difficult to maintain the tire chain tightly attached to the tire. In addition, the anti-slip cover has problems such as it is impossible to prevent the scratches caused by the tire chain, a special bag nut is required to attach the face plate, and it cannot be attached to all types of wheels. It was hot.

``Means for solving the problem'' In view of the above, the present invention is designed to eliminate scratches on the sidewall of the tire, wheels, etc. The gist is that after installing the tire chain on the tire, A disc-shaped protection plate (hereinafter simply referred to as the protection plate in principle) made of a flexible member with approximately the same size as the tire is inserted into the gap between the tire chain and the tire chain. Hook the tightening bands to several hooks on the protection plate. Next, by hooking several hooks of this tightening band to the side chain, the tire chain is firmly attached to the tire, and the protection plate is attached to the tire, wheel, etc. in a crimped manner by the tire chain and the tightening band. It will be done.

"Operation" Next, the operation state of the present invention will be explained. First, a known tire chain 5 is mounted on the tire 2. Then, when tire chain 5 is not yet tightened, tighten the tire 2 side and tire chain 5.
When the protection plate 1 is inserted into the gap formed between the two, the protection plate 1 is attached to the tire 2 and the wheel (not shown) via the tire chain 5. Therefore, after the band 8 of the tightening band 7 is hooked to the hook 3 of the protection plate 1, the hook 9 of this tightening band 7 is hooked to the side chain 6. As a result, the tire chain 5 is firmly attached to the tire 2, and the tire chain 5 is attached to the peripheral edge of the protection plate 1, and the approximately middle portion thereof is attached to the tire 2 and the wheel in a compressed manner by the tightening band 7.

``Embodiment'' The drawing shows an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a disc-shaped protection plate made of a flexible material such as rubber or soft plastic and having approximately the same size as the tire 2. 1, several hooks 3 are provided concentrically in the middle, and preferably the hooks 3 are made removable with rivets. Further, the protection plate 1 can also be shaped like a donut as shown in FIG. This is because it seems that if this is done, the air that enters between the side surface of the tire 2 and the protection plate 1 can be released from the through hole. 5 is a tire chain, and 6 is its side chain. 7 is the tightening band, 8 is the band, and 9 is the hook. 10 is a pattern provided on the protection plate 1.

``Effects of the invention'' As detailed above, this invention has a structure in which a protection plate is inserted into the gap between the tire side surface and the tire chain, and this protection plate is held with a tightening band. This has the effect that the wheels and the like are hidden and can prevent the above-mentioned scratches thereon, and that the protective plate does not separate from the tire and rotates together with the tire, resulting in good stability. Furthermore, since the protection plate is made of a flexible member, it can be easily inserted even after the tire chain is attached. Furthermore, since the tightening band is hooked to the hook of the protection plate, it is possible to eliminate misalignment of the protection plate and friction between the tire and the protection plate. In addition, it has practical effects such as having a very simple structure, easy handling, and being able to be provided at a low price.
