    摘要: A continuous flexible track (12) for extending about a plurality of aligned wheels on a vehicle or track module (10), the track includes an outer ground-engaging surface (22) and an inner wheel-engaging surface (24) having inwardly-projecting wheel-engaging lugs (26). Each lug has a proximal end (32), a distal surface (34), front and back surfaces (36, 38) and opposite side surfaces (40, 42). Each lug further includes a flex-groove (44) extending between the side surfaces and from the distal surface toward the proximal end, thereby dividing the lug into two portions to allow around-wheel hinging motion. In most preferred embodiments, a lug-receiving cap (50) may be positioned over and replaceably secured with respect to each lug. A method for prolonging the useful life of such a track is provided.

    摘要: A drive wheel (212) engaged with flexible track (15) of track apparatus (220) mountable on a vehicle axle, the drive wheel including a peripheral portion which, between radially-extending drive members (230), has outwardly-facing lug-engagement surfaces (223s) in position for engagement with the distal surfaces (32a) of the track lugs (32), to extend the useful life of flexible track. Preferred embodiments have spaces facilitating removal of debris. Certain preferred lug-engaging surfaces are provided by peripherally-spaced cross-members (223). The drive wheel is preferably free of side structure, allowing track lugs to adjust precise positions of engagement with lug-engagement surfaces.
