About Multifunctional Snow Chains Rescue and Safety
Multifunctional Snow Chains is a vehicle accessory made for winter driving and outdoor rescue. Each snow chain is fastened to a tire with a canvas strap to improve grip on icy urban roads. Handles on both sides rotate to fit different wheel sizes, so the chains suit most tires on the market. Several chain units can also be assembled into an escape board for use in desert, silt and swamp conditions, where a wheel can lose traction. The modular structure replaces a bulky escape board and saves storage space inside the car.

Size analysis:
The width of the snow chains is suitable for most tires on the market, and the length can be controlled. - Research
- In the development of outdoor products in China, research and development and design must take the road of innovation and reference. Regarding the ideas and methods of outdoor product design, the scenario story method and mind map are used to stimulate product design ideas and promote design innovation, thereby guiding consumption through design and promoting the development of outdoor leisure activities. Explore new forms and new uses of outdoor design to make design convenient and safe for people's outdoor activities.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration for the design of this product is mainly from the observation of existing automotive supplies. The use of anti-skid chains and escape plates in automotive supplies is also relatively high, and the escape plates occupy a large amount of car space.
