Abstract

An anti-skid device for motor vehicles has chain lines (15) which are propelled into the region of the ground contact surface of a vehicle tire by centrifugal forces resulting from rotation of a holder (14) carrying the chain lines when the holder engages the flank of a vehicle tire by a pivoting unit (11). The pivoting unit is actuated by first and second pull lines (9, 17), the first pull line being fastened to a driving aggregate (5) and the second pull line being fastened to a return spring (18) which is arranged in a cavity (20) of a carrying part (21) for the pivoting unit.
