Abstract

In an anti-skid device for motor vehicles with a plurality of chain strands (2,3,4,5) retained in a support (1) which can be set into a revolving motion and connected to the latter by intermediate pieces (7) forming resilient spreading arms, the chain strands are combined to form chain strand groups (6) which consists of at least two chain strands. The chain strands (2,3,4,5) of the chain strand groups (6) are of fine-linked construction and connected to the intermediate pieces (7) by rings (23).
