Tracked vehicle
The invention relates to a tracked vehicle (V1, V2) comprising a vehicle body (20; 120), at least one track assembly (10) and a suspension device (S). Said track assembly (10) is arranged to be supported by said vehicle body (20; 120) by means of said suspension device (S). Said track assembly comprises a track support beam (12) for supporting a plurality of road wheels (16), an endless track (14) being disposed around said road wheels. Said suspension device (S) comprises a leaf spring arrangement (30; 130, 142, 144) having portions transversally arranged relative to the longitudinal extension of the vehicle. Said leaf spring arrangement comprises L-shaped leaf spring members (30; 130), each leaf spring member (30; 130) having a first portion (32; 132) attached to said vehicle body (20; 120), a second portion (34; 134) attached to said track support beam (12) and a transition portion (36; 136) there between, so that compressive and tensile stresses are located to said transition portion (36; 136) for generating a compressive action in said transition portion.
TRACK ASSEMBLY HAVING A ROTATION LIMITING DEVICE AND VEHICLE HAVING SAME
A track assembly for a vehicle includes: a frame; a plurality of track-contacting wheels; an endless track disposed around the track-contacting wheels; a rotation limiting device for limiting rotation of the track assembly relative to a vehicle frame; a connection bracket for connecting the rotation limiting device to the frame; and a bushing assembly slidably connecting a device connecting end of the connection bracket to an elongate support of the rotation limiting device. The bushing assembly includes an inner bushing slidably mounted to the elongate support, an outer bushing affixed to the device connecting end, and a resilient element connected between the bushings. The resilient element is resiliently deformable such that: the inner bushing is rotatable relative to the outer bushing such that an inner bushing axis can be angled relative to an outer bushing axis; and the inner bushing is axially movable relative to the outer bushing.

SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR CONNECTING AT LEAST ONE SUPPORT WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO A FRAME MEMBER OF A TRACK SYSTEM AND TRACK SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME
A support structure for connecting at least one support wheel assembly to a frame of a track system for a vehicle comprises at least one plate connecting the support structure to the frame, at least one axle supporting the at least one support wheel assembly, and at least one resilient member having a first surface fixedly connected to the at least one plate and a second surface fixedly connected to the at least one axle. The at least one axle is movable in at least one degree of freedom upon resilient deformation of the at least one resilient member. The at least one axle has an initial position in relation to the plate. The at least one resilient member biases the at least one axle toward the initial position upon movement of the at least one axle away from the initial position.
SUSPENSION ARRANGEMENT OF SNOW VEHICLE
A snow vehicle, comprising a frame (102, 202), and to the frame (102, 202) operationally connected track system for moving the snow vehicle on the snow, which track system comprises a track (110, 210), and a slide rail (216) for slid-ing of the track, the snow vehicle further comprising a suspension structure (120) for attenuating impacts to the track system of the snow vehicle, which suspension system (120) comprises one or more suspension members (128). The suspension member (128) it at least partially arranged in the space between the track (110) and the frame (102).
