Abstract:
A track section (1) adapted to be linked to a plurality of similar track sections to form a track belt for mounting around the outer periphery of vehicle tyres. The track section comprises a crossbar (11) and two lateral support members (12a, 12b). The crossbar is lattice-like and formed by two or more flat, upright and elongated crossbar elements (16) and two or more connecting elements (17). The crossbar elements (16) extend in parallel with each other and empty spaces are provided between them. Each connecting element (17) extends across and is fixed to the crossbar elements (16) in order to act as a spacer between the crossbar elements. Each connecting element (17) projects from the crossbar elements (16) on the outer side (14) of the crossbar (11).

Um einen Seitenzug der Gleitschutzkette 10 (1) zu verhindern und gleichzeitig eine einfach zu fertigende Gleitschutzkette (1) bereitzustellen, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass sich ein Teil der Verdrehsperre (27) an wenigstens einem Gelenkbolzen (19) befindet.
Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a track assembly (2) for a terrain going vehicle having tires (1), the track assembly comprising at least two traction bars (3). The traction bars each have a body (6) that is dimensioned to extend over the width of a tire and guide plates (4) extending from the body so that they can be set to reach over the edge of the tire and to the sides of the tires and ears (7, 8) at each end of each traction bar (3), extending crosswise on relation to the length of the traction bar and on both sides of the body of the traction bar, the ears (7, 8) having each at least one hole (10). There is at least one link (11) having a link body (12) with a length and one connecting hole (13) at each opposite end of the link body, and pins (14) set to run through a pair of one hole of the link body (12) and at least one hole of a ear of the traction bar (3) in order to form a chain, wherein the pins (14) are locked in relation to the holes (10) of the ears (7, 8) so that rotation of the pins (14) in the holes is prevented.
Abstract:
A pin retention device (300) comprises a fastener (308) defining a longitudinal axis (L300), a first end (310) and a second end (312) along the longitudinal axis (L300), a head (314) at the first end (310) and a threaded portion (316) at the second end (312), a tubular spacer (304) defining a thru-hole (318) configured to receive the fastener (308), and a nut (302) defining a threaded hole (320) configured to mate with the threaded portion (316) of the fastener (308).
Abstract:
A radio-controlled vehicle having a frame (2), a left undercarriage (3I) and a right undercarriage (3II); wherein the frame (2) has a front guide (43A) and a rear guide (43B), each configured to house a respective cylinder (47A; 47B); each undercarriage (3I; 3II) having a front slide (40I; 40II) and a rear slide (41I; 41II), which are connected in a sliding manner to the front guide (43A) and to the rear guide (43B), respectively; wherein each cylinder (47A; 47B) is configured to selectively vary the distance between the longitudinal axis of the frame (X) and the longitudinal axis of each undercarriage (XI; XII); wherein each undercarriage (3I; 3II) comprises an anti-derailment plate (39).
Abstract:
Longitudinal member (10) for amphibious undercarriage, which internally defines one or more air chambers (2) for its own buoyancy and externally at least one sliding trail (4), wherein the longitudinal member (10) comprises one or more tracks (6, 6'), which develop around the sliding trail (4) and comprising chains (8, 12) flanked to each other and slidably mounted, each chain (8, 12) comprising concatenated links (14, 16), forged in one piece, fluid-powered motor means, attached to the longitudinal member (10) and configured to promote the sliding of the track (6, 6') or plurality of tracks through the chains (8, 12). The motor means comprise a different motor (18, 20) associated with each chain (8, 12), these motors (18, 20) being side by side, connected in parallel and controlled so as to supply an independent power transmission. The invention further relates to an undercarriage and an amphibious vehicle.
Abstract:
A traction cell for use in a track drive of an amphibious or all-terrain vehicle includes a rigid section for connection to a track drive and at least one semi-rigid compliant section which is connected to the rigid section. The semi-rigid compliant section has a bottom surface to which a penetration resistant sole is secured on a rear face which is raked relative to the vertical.
Abstract:
A lobed bushing (72) is provided for a track assembly (16) of a track-type machine (10). The track assembly includes a first chain (40) and a second chain (42) coupled together with a track pin (70). The bushing, defining a longitudinal axis (A), includes a central bore (78) oriented along the longitudinal axis and extending from a first end (80) of the bushing to a second end (82) of the bushing for receiving the track pin. The bushing includes a first lobe (96) positioned at a first location (110) about the longitudinal axis and a second lobe (112) positioned at a second location (114) about the longitudinal axis that is less than about 180° from the first location. The first end of the bushing has a substantially cylindrical shape.
