BAND TRACK CHAIN FOR TRACKLAYING VEHICLES AND SNOWMOBILES

摘要

A belt-type Caterpillar for track-laying vehicles and snowmobiles, incorporating individual replaceable belt segments, in which each belt segment incorporates a base member consisting of rubber including tensile-loaded inserts which encompass a traction or tie anchor transversely supported within the rubber in the region of the connecting locations for the belt segments. The connecting locations which are formed as hinge members vulcanized into the belt segments include tubular sections with inserted tubes or track pins, as well as arms arranged at a lateral spacing from each other, whereby the arms retain the tie anchor which is formed as a connecting pin or bolt. The inserts consist of at least two endless fabric bands or webs arranged at a spacing adjacent each other, the arms terminating proximate a nonelastic bending region of a rubber or track dog, or transversely stiff traverse, and in which the hinge members possess laterally arranged arms.
