PIVOT ASSEMBLY FOR A GROUND-CONTACTING WHEEL ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025496 titled 'PIVOT ASSEMBLY FOR A GROUND-CONTACTING WHEEL ASSEMBLY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a pivot assembly that connects a ground-contacting wheel assembly to a frame member of a track system assembly. The assembly includes a base with a first interlocking member, a resilient body that can be partially received within the base and has a second interlocking member, and an axle assembly that connects the wheel assembly to the frame member. The axle assembly includes a third interlocking member that can be connected to the second interlocking member. The resilient body can wrap around the peripheral surface of the axle assembly and allows for pivotal movement of the axle assembly relative to the frame member.

  • The pivot assembly connects a wheel assembly to a frame member in a track system assembly.
  • It includes a base, a resilient body, and an axle assembly.
  • The base has a first interlocking member.
  • The resilient body can be partially received within the base and has a second interlocking member.
  • The axle assembly connects the wheel assembly to the frame member and has a third interlocking member.
  • The resilient body can wrap around the axle assembly.
  • The axle assembly can pivotally move relative to the frame member upon deformation of the resilient body.

Potential Applications:

  • Track systems for vehicles or machinery that require pivotable wheel assemblies.
  • Construction equipment, agricultural machinery, or military vehicles that operate on uneven terrain.
  • Material handling equipment or conveyor systems that need flexible wheel connections.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a flexible and resilient connection between the wheel assembly and frame member.
  • Allows for pivotable movement of the wheel assembly to adapt to uneven surfaces.
  • Reduces stress and impact on the wheel assembly and frame member.

Benefits:

  • Improved maneuverability and stability on uneven terrain.
  • Enhanced durability and longevity of the wheel assembly and frame member.
  • Reduced maintenance and repair costs due to decreased wear and tear.


Original Abstract Submitted

a pivot assembly for connecting a ground-contacting wheel assembly to a frame member of a track system assembly has a base defining a first interlocking member, a resilient body structured for being received at least partially within the base and having a second interlocking member connectable to the first interlocking member, and an axle assembly configured for rotatably connecting the ground-contacting wheel assembly to the frame member, the axle assembly including a third interlocking member connectable to the second interlocking member. the resilient body is at least partially wrappable around the peripheral surface of the axle assembly. upon deformation of the resilient body, the axle assembly is pivotally movable relative to the frame member of the track system assembly about at least one of a longitudinal axis and a vertical axis.
