RUNNING GEAR WITH REINFORCED-RUBBER FRICTION-ENGAGEMENT CATERPILLAR TRACK

摘要

FIELD: transport.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive industry. Proposed running gear comprises drive and gear wheels with cylindrical treads and reinforced-rubber caterpillar track running there over, reinforcing elements being made integral with guides spaced apart over the length. Steel cable embraces reinforcing elements from outside, said elements vulcanised in rubber to make endless track with treads and support surface with grousers. Track reinforcing element is made of strip-like resilient material of spring steel with ends bent in one side while mid part being bent towards said bend ends. Cylindrical tread of drive wheel features larger width than said cylindrical tread by double clearance between inner side of aforesaid guide and cylindrical tread lateral surface.EFFECT: increased engagement between track and drive wheel cylindrical tread, decreased tension of said track.2 cl, 6 dwg
