The cross chain anti-skid device is a unit extending about the wheel when in assembled relation thereto and which may remain a unit during its removal from the wheel. This subclass is largely composed of devices wherein the cross chain tread elements are disposed other than in the conventional straight across manner, or are arranged in specifically designed groups, or both.
(1) Note. For the chain arrangement, see this class, subclass 217 and indented subclasses, 231 and 232.
