FLEXIBLE ENDLESS CATERPILLAR FOR CATERPILLAR CAR

摘要

PURPOSE: To uniformly transmit motive power of an endless belt, and to reduce generation of vibration and noises caused by high speed travel by inserting transverse stays into an inner cover layer of the endless belt, and arranging recesses before and after the transverse stays. CONSTITUTION: This endless belt 11 is applied to a full-track vehicle, particularly, an agricultural tractor or a civil engineering work vehicle, and has inner/ outer both cover layers 13, 15 so that a pull-resistant carrier 17 composed of mutually parallel steel ropes 19 are embedded therein. In this case, transverse stays 29 tightly closed with the inner surface 27 are inserted at regular intervals into the inner cover layer 13. Longitudinal recesses 31 extending in the longitudinal direction between the transverse stays 29 are arranged in the inner cover layer 13. An opening 33 penetrating through a residual track zone of the endless belt 11 is also arranged in the longitudinal recesses 31 just before and just after the transverse stays 29 to thereby uniformly transmit motive power of the endless belt 11 as well as to reduce generation of vibration and noise caused by high speed travel.
