Dirt seal for removable rubber belts

摘要

Elongated resilient sealing strips seal the spaces between pairs of adjacent articulated traction shoes of a removable track for tires. Each sealing strip is of chevron-or V-shaped cross-section and is integrally molded of the belt. Each leg of the chevron or V is provided with a surface for engagement with the surface of one of said traction shoes. Biasing means may be incorporated into the sealing strip to further assure sealing engagement. The composition of the strip may differ from that of the outer elastomer layer of the belt.
