CONTINUOUS RUBBER/METAL HYBRID TRACK WITH REPLACEABLE COMPONENTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/163504
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A continuous track with replaceable components permits a light weight tracked vehicle to benefit from the cost savings associated with repairable tracks. Each repairable track includes two parallel continuous belts, each belt includes embedded plates to reinforce the belts and distribute the load applied by the vehicle drive train and the load applied by the shoe to the belts. Each shoe assembly engages the parallel belts and includes a track guide, a shoe plate and a shoe. The number, separation and orientation of the shoe assemblies are preset for a set of parallel belts, however shoe assemblies and the elements of the shoe assemblies may be used for many different belt sets. Any suitable fasteners may be used to secure each shoe assembly to the belts.
