Track for all terrain vehicle
View Patent ↗A track for a vehicle travelling on all terrain, especially those displaying ruts, is formed of an endless longitudinal body displaying a series of longitudinally spaced drive lugs on its inner surface and a series of longitudinally spaced profiles on its outer surface. Each profile displays a height decreasing in value from the center of the body to the outer edge thereof. The body is formed of flexible rubber material and is free of conventional transversally extending reinforcing embedded rods thus providing reduced transverse rigidity to the body and allowing the body to curvingly flex when engage in ruts.
1. A track for a vehicle traveling on all terrain, including ruts, comprising an endless longitudinal body having an inner surface displaying a series of longitudinally spaced drive lugs and an outer surface displaying a series of longitudinally spaced profiles extending transversely from one outer edge of said body to an opposite outer edge of said body; each said profile being formed of a continuous mass of flexible rubber material, each continuous mass displaying a height decreasing in value from the center of the mass to said outer edges thereof; said body being formed of flexible rubber material and being free of conventional transversely extending reinforcing embedded rods thereby providing reduced transverse rigidity to the body and allowing said body and said profiles to curvingly flex when engaged in ruts, wherein each said profile is formed of three levels of profile sections including a central section, a pair of opposite intermediate sections and a pair of opposite edge sections, and wherein said central section displays a hexagonal shaped mass having a thickness greater than the thickness of said intermediate sections and said edge sections of said profile.
