1,134,109. Endless track vehicles. OMW MASKINER K.B. 1 Dec., 1965 [3 Dec., 1964], No. 51017/65. Heading B7H. An endless track for a vehicle comprises transverse grouser rods connected at their ends by means of links, each of which is of generally rectangular shape, one end being formed as a pin 19 and the other as a sleeve 18 for co-operation with the pin 19 of the next adjacent link of the chain. The grouser rods 14, which have an arcuate centre portion for passing over the tyred bearing wheels of the vehicle, are welded between opposite links of the two chains and serve as ground bearing elements and as driving elements by co-operation with the driving sprocket of the vehicle. Lugs 21 welded to the grouser elements co-operate with the bearing wheel tyres for guiding the chain. Flat, steel strips 20 are welded on the undersides of the chain links. The vehicle has four tyred, unsprung bearing wheels, the rear two of which may be adjustable, and a driving sprocket ahead of and slightly above the bearing wheels. The drive to the track sprocket includes a crown wheel and a pair of fluid couplings -and the vehicle includes a pair of rearwardly pointing, horizontal hydraulic rams for steering trailed vehicles. |
