  • Patent number: 3934943
    Abstract: An endless track belt adapted for use on all types of track laying vehicles. The track is constructed to have the capability of utilizing ground material coherence as a primary means of flotation. In the exemplary form, the track is in the form of a grid having longitudinal tension elements, transverse elements preferably fabricated from elastomeric materials, but not limited thereto. It has the characteristic of inherent low mass-to-floatation surface area ratio and to be operable at a high velocity. The grid is an open network, minimizing total quantitative belt section relative to ground area encompassed. The grid has lateral flexiblity allowing for lateral displacement or deviation into a curved configuration for steering.
