ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a wheel having two staggered rows of surface-gripping, radially-yielding feet. When the wheel encounters an obstacle, a spring compresses, thereby permitting the feet to deflect and absorb shock that would have otherwise been imparted to the vehicle. While travelling on a smooth surface, the feet deflect an amount depending upon the load carried by the wheel. Since the shock absorbing spring is recessed in a cavity in the foot, the distance that a foot can deflect is increased.
