Abstract

In an anti-skid device for motor vehicles, having a plurality of chain strands (10) distributed over the periphery of a holder (4), which holder can be set into a rotational motion, the holder exhibits a hub (6) having a ring collar (11). The ring collar (11) is surrounded by the ring bar (ring web) (18) of a friction wheel (7). Two plates (14, 15) of a pair of clamping plates are pressed by screw connections (16) against the side faces of the ring collar (11) and of the ring bar. The lower plate (15) is provided with slots (18) through which the ends of end links (20) of the chain strands (10) protrude into chambers (19) disposed in the ring bar (8) of the friction wheel. The anchorage of the end 1 inks (20) in the chambers (19) is here served by bolts (21).
