  • Patent number: 11932329
    Abstract: A track system for traction of a vehicle (e.g., a snowmobile, an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) etc.). The track system comprises a track and a track-engaging assembly for driving and guiding the track around the track-engaging assembly. The track system may have features to enhance its traction, floatation, and/or other aspects of its performance, including the track that may comprise reinforcing material (e.g., reinforcing polymeric material) that is stronger (e.g., stiffer, harder, and/or more resistant to wear) than elastomeric material of the track, such as to improve rigidity characteristics of the track, reduce noise generated by the track system, improve a resistance to wear of the track, and/or reduce a weight of the track. The reinforcing material may be provided as one or more thin layers constituting at least part (e.g., of a periphery) of one or more components of the track (e.g., a carcass, traction projections, and/or drive/guide lugs).
    Type: Grant

The reinforcing material may be provided as one or more thin layers constituting at least part (e.g., of a periphery) of one or more components of the track (e.g., a carcass, traction projections, and/or drive/guide lugs).

  • Patent number: 10953937
    Abstract: A track for traction of a vehicle, such as an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), a snowmobile, an agricultural vehicle, etc. The track may have rigidity (i.e., stiffness) characteristics to enhance its traction, floatation, and/or other aspects of its performance. For example, in some embodiments, a lateral bending stiffness of a carcass of the track may be symmetric while a longitudinal bending stiffness of the carcass of the track may be asymmetric.
