A segmented track made of a plurality of elastomeric track segments is disclosed. Each track segment is made of reinforced elastomeric material and is provided, at each end thereof, with a joint element adapted to be connected to the joint element of adjacent track segments. Each track segment generally comprises alternating series of substantially rigid sections and substantially flexible sections. The joint elements of the track segments are substantially located within rigid sections located at the extremities of the track segments. The segment track also comprises inner and outer plates configured to secure the joint elements of adjacent track segments together.

Segmented track and track segment therefor

This invention generally relates to the configuration of the inner surface of a traction band which increases the protection of the embedded reinforcing elements without reducing the flexibility of the band or increasing the generation of heat. The outer surface of the band generally comprises a plurality traction lugs while the inner surface generally comprises a plurality of drive and/or guide lugs. According to the present invention, each group of traction lugs, drive lugs and guide lugs, which are generally laterally aligned, defines generally non-flexible lug areas and each of these lug areas are separated by flexible and generally lug-less hinge areas. The lug areas, on the inner surface thereof, further comprise projections located between the drive lugs and the guide lugs and along the wheel paths defined therebetween.

Endless elastomeric track

A traction chain assembly for providing improved traction to elastomeric tracks is provided. The traction chain assembly comprises two side brackets adapted to be mounted on each side of the track and generally to the drive lugs thereof. The traction chain assembly further comprises generally two laterally extending chains which are attached to the side brackets and which further extend at least partially over the traction lugs located on the outer surface of the track and over which the assembly is disposed. Some of the chain links of the chains of the traction chain assembly are also generally equipped with outwardly projecting grousers for increasing the traction thereof.

Traction chain assembly for elastomeric tracks

A hydraulic governor device for use with a rotational shaft of a door assembly for controlling a rotation of said rotational shaft. The device includes a sleeve; first and second end coverings mounted respectively onto first and second ends of the sleeve so as to define an hydraulic flow path; a fluid substantially filling the hydraulic flow path; an input shaft extending through the ends coverings and the chamber, and being operatively connected to the rotational shaft of the door assembly; first and second pistons disks positioned inside the chamber and mounted about the input shaft, the pistons disks being connected to each other and being slidably movable along the input shaft; and a reciprocating assembly operatively connected between the input shaft and the piston disks and cooperating with the same for converting a rotation of the input shaft into a reciprocating movement of the pistons disks within a chamber, so that said reciprocating movement of the pistons disks inside the chamber causes in turn the fluid to travel along a reciprocating movement along the hydraulic flow path, said reciprocating movement of the fluid along the hydraulic flow path causing a damping effect of the rotation of the input shaft and thus controlling the rotation of the rotational shaft of the door assembly via a damping effect.
