ABSTRACT:
A removable track for a tire having at least one sealing member interposed between the annular belt of the track and the traction shoes clamped on the belt. The sealing member is under compression and has a surface of highly compressible material to conform to irregularities in the track assembly for sealing the space between the traction shoes and the belt. The sealing member may be of rubber or plastic foam so that during compression and decompression the space occupied by the sealing member may decrease and increase while the sealing member maintains a sealing relationship with the traction shoes and belt. The sealing member may also be adhered to the belt-engaging surface of a traction shoe or to the belt. Further, the sealing member may be positioned between adjacent traction shoes with overhanging ribs of the shoes engaging the transverse edges of the sealing member to hold it in position and compress the edges. Grooves may be provided at the transverse edges of the sealing member for interaction with the overhanging ribs of adjacent traction shoes.
