TRACK AND WHEEL FOR A TRACK SYSTEM, AND TRACK SYSTEM COMPRISING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240043078 titled 'TRACK AND WHEEL FOR A TRACK SYSTEM, AND TRACK SYSTEM COMPRISING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a track system that consists of a track with a ground-facing side and a wheel-facing side. The track has lugs that define a wheel path for the wheels of a track engaging assembly to roll on. The wheel path includes track side portions and an intermediate track portion. The distance between the base of the lugs and the ground-facing side varies depending on the load supported by the wheel.

• The track system has a ground-facing side and a wheel-facing side.
• Lugs on the track define a wheel path for the wheels of a track engaging assembly.
• The wheel path includes track side portions and an intermediate track portion.
• The distance between the base of the lugs and the ground-facing side changes based on the load supported by the wheel.

Potential Applications:

• Construction machinery and equipment
• Agricultural machinery and equipment
• Military vehicles
• Off-road vehicles

Problems Solved:

• Provides stability and control for vehicles operating on uneven terrain
• Reduces the risk of wheel slippage and loss of traction
• Allows for efficient movement and maneuverability in challenging environments

Benefits:

• Improved performance and safety in off-road conditions
• Enhanced stability and load-bearing capacity
• Increased traction and control for vehicles operating on various surfaces

Original Abstract Submitted

a track for a track system has a ground-facing side and a wheel-facing side including lugs having a base and defining a wheel path on which wheels of a track engaging assembly rolls on, the wheel path having first and second track side portions, and an intermediate track portion. when the wheel supports a load smaller than a nominal load, a distance between the base and the ground-facing side is smaller than a distance between the intermediate track portion and the ground-facing side. when the wheel supports a load equal or greater than the nominal load, a distance between the base and the ground-facing side is substantially equal to or smaller than a distance between the intermediate track portion and the ground-facing side. a wheel for a track system is also described. a track system comprising a wheel and a track is also described.
