Elastic endless crawler and method of manufacturing the same

A core-less rubber crawler has a guide protrusion protruding from an internal surface of a rubber main body in the shape of an endless belt, and the protrusion extends in the lengthwise direction of the rubber main body at the center with respect to the widthwise direction thereof, and ground contacting lugs are provided on the rubber main body characterized in that non-ground contacting areas are formed on the ground contacting lugs correspondingly to a region where the guide protrusion is provided. By the existence of the non-ground contacting area of the ground contacting lugs correspondingly to the place where the guide protrusion is provided, no ground contacting repulsive force is received in the non-ground contacting area. Therefore, it is possible to restrict the shearing force in the vicinity of the basal part of the guide protrusion.

The object of the invention is to provide a rubber crawler which has an excellent driving performance without rubber breakage and a process for manufacturing the same. The object is attained by firstly obtaining a small bending rigidity of a joint part and eliminating disproportional arrangement of main cord embedded in the rubber crawler in a widthwise direction for obtaining durability, and uniform revolution. In a rubber crawlerin the form of an endless belt having an inserting joint structure S wherein ends of a number of parallel reinforcing cordsas main cords embedded in the rubber crawler are inserted between each other, the number of reinforcing cords are divided in an even number (2 in the embodiments shown with figures) parts, the ends partsAtoAandBtoBextending in both directions are arranged axisymmetrically about the dividing line L. Accordingly, the inserting joint structure S is obtained as a prerequisite which is on a same plane when viewed from the side. Furthermore, it is possible to eliminate disproportional arrangement of the main cords to be embedded. As a result, driving performance is improved, and rubber breakage is prevented, whereby it is possible to further increase the durability.
