Patent number: 10640160Abstract: The present invention generally relates to vehicle and machinery in agriculture, construction, forestry, mining and powersport. It further generally relates to track systems and traction assemblies used with such vehicles. The track system comprises a drive wheel and a plurality of idler wheels mounted on a support frame. At least one of the plurality of wheels is operatively mounted on the support frame via a damping system adapted to provide a damping value dynamically varying as a function of the load applied. Track systems do not benefit from the damping provided by the layer of air within the tires. The disclosed damping system has the objective to overcome one this drawback by providing a smooth ride for tracked vehicles. The damping system comprises a cylinder fluidly connected to a reservoir. Damping ratio is varied by varying a flow circulating area between the cylinder and the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2016Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: SOUCY INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Yves Sauvageau, Jonathan Pellerin

Patent number: 10526027Abstract: Damping system for an endless track system, comprising: Damper operatively connectable between frame members for damping relative movement therebetween, including: cylinder and piston movable therewithin forming variable volume chamber containing liquid. Reservoir containing liquid and gas connected to chamber. Conduits connecting chamber to reservoir for allowing liquid to flow therebetween to move the piston. Gas in reservoir applying hydrostatic pressure to liquid, biasing piston toward an extended position and causing piston to move theretowards when load on endless track system is decreased, and causing piston to move toward a retracted position when load on endless track system is increased.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: SOUCY INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Yves Sauvageau, Jonathan Pellerin

Patent number: 10343734Abstract: The present invention generally relates to vehicle and machinery in agriculture, construction, forestry, mining and powersport. It further generally relates to track systems and traction assemblies used with such vehicles. The track assembly includes components having particular features that, alone or in combination, participate in decreasing the vibrations 5 undergone by the vehicle. According to embodiments, split frames are used with suspension, tandem subassemblies, “tridem subassemblies”, adjustable damping components, drive shaft openings, lowering of resulting the track band tension and rosta assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2015Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: SOUCY INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Yves Sauvageau, Branislav Nanac, Pascal Lafreniere, Frederik Martel, Jonathan Pellerin
