Abstract

A nonskid device for the wheels of vehicles, has a holding element (1) situated in the region of the wheel axis and used with elastic holding arms (2) holding a chain mesh (4). A tension cable (7) is used to introduce tension forces into the holding arms (2). In order to introduce a defined tensile stress into the tension cable (7), the tension cable is connected to a pivotable tension lever (12).
