Embodiment 10

[0066] The direction of forward travel of the track modules of Embodiment 10 (and other similar embodiments presented herein) is defined by the front idler 18 ahead of the rear idler 20 . Figure 4 Arrow 122 is included to indicate the direction of travel, eg, defined by the front and rear components in an embodiment, which can be applicable to all embodiments.

[0067] Figure 2 to Figure 6B Track module assembly 10 and its various partial components are shown in several views in order to more clearly illustrate various aspects of track module assembly 10 . figure 2 is a perspective view of portions of track module assembly 10 showing several suspension linkage components without drive wheel 14, track 22, front idler 18, rear idler 20, front bogie wheels 56, rear bogie wheels 60 , intermediate bogie wheels 64 , frame 12 , front suspension elements 68 , rear suspension elements 70 , and tensioning elements 106 . image 3 is an exploded perspective view of the track module a...

Abstract

Track-module bogie-suspension apparatus for attachment to a track module having a frame, a drive wheel and an endless track. The bogie-suspension apparatus comprises (a) a bogie assembly having a bogie mount, at least one rotatable ground-engaging bogie wheel thereon, and forward and rearward bogie-mount connections; (b) first and second load- and ground-responsive suspension joints spaced from one another in a forward/rearward direction; and (c) leading and trailing suspension elements each having an upper end and a lower end, the upper ends of the leading and trailing suspension elements rotatably attached to the first and second suspension joints, respectively, and the lower ends thereof rotatably attached to the rearward and forward bogie-mount connections, respectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of vehicle track module systems of the type typically used in place of wheels, and more particularly to track module systems having front and rear wheels and at least one load carrying bogie wheel between the front and rear wheels. Track modules, all of these wheels are engaged by an endless track extending around the wheels to propel the vehicle along the ground. Background technique [0002] Farm vehicles (eg, tractors, combines, etc.) are commonly used in the agricultural field for a variety of jobs, and construction vehicles and other large work vehicles are used for a variety of different jobs on a variety of ground. Typically these vehicles have large wheels with tires by which the vehicle is supported on the ground. However, to improve traction characteristics, a vehicle track module system (or "track module" or "track module arrangement") is used instead of wheels with tires, and such track ...
