ABSTRACT:
A traction assembly including a directional backing plate and threaded nut for securing a traction device relative to a flexible rotatable track. The backing plate and nut define curvilinear peripheries defined by a major axis and a minor axis, wherein the major axis is greater than the minor axis. The backing plate and T-nut cooperatively engage the stud relative to the track, such that the major axis is substantially perpendicular to the direction of rotation of the track, and the minor axis is substantially parallel to the direction of rotation. One of the T-nut and the backing plate include prongs for partially penetrating the track in the region of the traction assembly.
