ABSTRACT:
A vehicle track comprising continuous belts formed of moulded elastomeric segments joined in end-to-end relationship. The segments are generally flat with enlarged sections at each end to provide transverse ribs. The segments are connected together by connections each of which includes inner and outer plates having concave cross-sections overlying the ribs of adjacent segments, the inner and outer plates being secured together by bolts. The inner and outer plates may be formed by transverse grouser bar assemblies. The segmented belts are more convenient to produce, ship and install than common endless belts. The manner of connecting the segments results in the bending taking place within the segment so as to provide a belt wherein wear and fatigue do not occur at the connection.
