Description

Anti-slip device for mounting on rim OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The invention, as the title of this specification indicates, is an anti-slip device for mounting on wheel rims with tires. It is an innovation that offers advantages previously unknown within current techniques. TECHNICAL SECTOR The present invention falls within the sector of diverse industrial techniques and transport, especially in vehicles in general, in the classification of tires for vehicles, tire inflation, tire changing, fixing valves to unreliable elastic bodies, in general and devices or installations concerning wheels with tires. It also applies to the section on anti-slip devices temporarily applied to the rim with the same studs as the rim, regardless of the tire, or to wheels equipped with elastic tires. STATE OF THE ART The present invention arises due to the inconvenience and time spent by users when having to install current anti-slip devices or systems on rims or tires when driving on snow, ice or similar conditions. This is because conventional devices or systems require a lot of time to be mounted on the tire rim, which is laborious and tiring. Accordingly, this invention presents a rim-mounted anti-slip device that is easy and convenient to install, requiring minimal installation time. Furthermore, it adapts to terrain deformation without affecting rim or tire performance. Currently, there is no known existence of any anti-slip device for mounting on a rim that has structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this descriptive report, as claimed. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is the creation of an anti-slip device for mounting on a rim that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description. The present invention consists of an anti-slip device for mounting on a rim comprising studs intended to conveniently and temporarily receive an anti-slip device that is independently attached to the rim only when required, allowing it to be removed from said rim without affecting the functionality of either the rim or the tire, enabling optimal traction when driving on snow, ice, mud or slippery terrain in general. This innovation solves the difficulty and assembly time presented by existing anti-slip devices or systems on the market. This anti-slip device is beneficial, and this lies in its ability to significantly improve vehicle handling on adverse terrain conditions, such as ice, snow, mud, or slippery surfaces. This improvement directly contributes to increased road safety, reducing the risk of accidents by allowing more effective vehicle control under circumstances where the grip of conventional tires would be insufficient. The anti-slip device for mounting on the rim consists of several components, including a base piece, a series of radial pieces, a safety cap, and a spoke connector. These components fit together to form a unit that is mounted or dismounted from the rim as needed. The base piece is designed with housings where the studs that normally hold the rim are inserted. The cover, for its part, is disc-shaped with holes for the passage of the studs, thus securing the anti-slip device and ensuring that it cannot come loose once anchored to the rim during use. To use the anti-slip device to mount on the rim, the user will only have to attach the device, securing it with the studs that also hold the rim. In this way, the user will be able to enjoy a safe and comfortable drive on slippery and complicated terrain, such as those covered with snow or ice, among others. EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES To complete the description being made and in order to help in the better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by some figures in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following have been represented. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the asparagus. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the anti-slip device. Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the base piece. Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the radial piece, detailing the radius. Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the lid. Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the spoke joining piece. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION. This document describes a rim-mounted anti-slip device. The device is configured to attach to the studs (1). These studs (1) are intended to temporarily hold the anti-slip device (2) so that it can be attached independently and only when required. The device allows for mounting and dismounting without compromising the integrity and functionality of either the rim or the tire, facilitating optimal traction when driving on slippery surfaces such as snow, ice, or mud. In a preferred embodiment, the anti-slip device (2) comprises several parts, including a base piece (3) that engages with the studs (1) by means of recesses defined therein, a series of radial pieces (5) extending from the base piece (3), a cover (6), and a radial connecting piece (7) that joins the midpoints of each radial piece (5). These parts are designed to engage with each other and can preferably be detached and separated independently. Preferably, each radial piece (5) is a curved, flexible plate (5.1) designed to make direct contact with snow, ice, or mud. For this purpose, they extend beyond the corresponding wheel. Each plate (5.1) has a midpoint attachment for the spoke connector (7). In the figures, the plates (5.1) that make up each radial piece (5) are S-shaped. The cap (6) is typically characterized by its perforated disc shape, with holes and studs to secure the device to the rim studs (1), allowing the studs (1) to pass through. By attaching the cap (6), the anti-slip device (2) is firmly secured to the rim, preventing it from shifting or coming loose during use. Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages that derive from it, it being noted that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other modes of embodiment that differ in detail from the one indicated as an example, and which will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
