ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an improved structure for rubber bodies such as pads on track units or tires on road wheels for tracked vehicle such as tanks. The rubber bodies have an array of bores with metallic inserts recessed in the bores. The inserts stiffen the pad or tire to reduce deformation under load and the heat produced thereby, and also transfer the heat to the surrounding air. In one embodiment, the inserts are cups closely fitting in the bores and having fins or other protrusions extending from the cup into the rubber body. In other embodiments, the inserts comprise heads near an exposed surface of the rubber body and shanks extending from the heads to a metal substrate underlying the rubber body and forming part of the track unit or road wheel.
