Abstract
In tire chains, closures are required to lock tension-chain lines (10) in the tensioned position. A proposed closure is provided with a pull-through orifice (2) for the tension-chain line (10) and with a locking slot (3) adjacent to the pull-through orifice (2). To prevent the particular chain link (9) suspended in the locking slot (3) from working loose, the pull-through orifice (2) is equipped with an elastic insert (11) which forms at least one engagement cam projecting into the locking slot (3).
