ABSTRACT:
A track construction is provided for tracked vehicles such as tanks which comprise alternate track members and connection members which are connected together by transverse connecting pins. The track members comprise first and second spaced, parallel sets of transversely extending tubular members connected together by a bridging member, the tubular members of each set being axially aligned and spaced apart to form gaps therebetween. The upper surfaces of the bridging members contact the wheels of the vehicle while ground-contacting pads are mounted on the track members on the opposite side thereof from the wheel contacting surfaces. The connection members also include wheel contacting surfaces and engage the connecting pins at locations between the gaps defined by the tubular members. The wheel contacting surfaces of the bridging portions of the track members are recessed at these locations and portions of the wheel contacting surfaces of the connection members project into the gaps.
