Publication number: 20250368281Abstract: The present technology generally relates to a vibration damping system for a track system of a vehicle. The vibration damping system comprises a leading frame member at least indirectly pivotally connectable to a chassis of the vehicle; a trailing frame member at least indirectly pivotally connectable to the chassis of the vehicle, the trailing frame member pivoting independently from the leading frame member; and a resilient member pivotally connected to the leading frame member and to the trailing frame member. The resilient member extends generally vertically between the leading frame member and the trailing frame member.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2025Publication date: December 4, 2025Inventors: Yves SAUVAGEAU, Branislav NANAC, David BARRY, Maxime RIVARD, Roch GAUDREAU

Patent number: 12479523Abstract: A suspended undercarriage assembly connectable to a multi-member frame assembly of a track system includes a beam having a leading portion and a trailing portion, at least one support wheel assembly connectable to the beam, at least one of a leading resilient bushing assembly and a trailing resilient bushing assembly including a bushing having an opening defined therein and being shaped and dimensioned for promoting deformation of the bushing in at least one of a vertical direction and a lateral direction. The bushing is resiliently deformable to permit movement of the beam relative to the multi-member frame assembly in the vertical direction and in the lateral direction, and to resiliently bias the beam towards a rest position with respect to the multi-member frame assembly. A track system having the suspended undercarriage assembly is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2023Date of Patent: November 25, 2025Assignee: SOUCY INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Yves Sauvageau, Branislav Nanac, David Barry, Styve Allie, Charles St-Arnaud, Michel Pellerin, Steeve Pare, Marc-Andre Patry, Gabriel Chantal, Maxime Rivard

Patent number: 12403965Abstract: A multi-member frame assembly for a track system includes a pivot pin defining a pivot axis, a leading frame member pivotally connected to the pivot pin for pivoting about the pivot axis, and a trailing frame member pivotally connected to the pivot pin for pivoting about the pivot axis, the trailing frame member pivoting independently from the leading frame member. A resilient member is pivotally connected to the leading frame member and to the trailing frame member. The resilient member extends generally vertically between the leading frame member and the trailing frame member. A track system having a multi-member frame assembly is also described.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2021Date of Patent: September 2, 2025Assignee: SOUCY INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Yves Sauvageau, Branislav Nanac, David Barry, Maxime Rivard, Roch Gaudreau

Patent number: 12269543Abstract: A suspended undercarriage assembly connectable to a track system including a frame member has a resilient assembly. The resilient assembly includes a first arm connected to the frame member, a second arm pivotally connected to the first arm, a spacing defined between the first and second arms, and a resilient member disposed in the spacing and connected to the first and second arms. The resilient member is resiliently deformable to permit movement of the second arm relative to the first arm, and to resiliently bias the second arm towards a rest position with respect to the first arm. The suspended undercarriage assembly provides suspension to a support wheel assembly relative to the frame member when connected to the second arm.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: SOUCY INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Yves Sauvageau, Branislav Nanac, David Barry, Marc Nadeau, Maxime Rivard
