20230365207 · 2023-11-16 ·

A wheel assembly, a track system and a vehicle are disclosed. The track system has a frame defining a longitudinal center plane, a wheel assembly rotationally and pivotably connected to the frame, and the endless track having the inner surface and surrounding the frame and the wheel assembly. The wheel assembly has a non-linear axle and a wheel. The non-linear axle has a first segment and a second segment. The wheel is rotationally connected to the first segment extending along a rotation axis of the wheel. The second segment being pivotably connected to the frame. The second segment is offset from the first segment so that the second segment is closer to an inner surface of an endless track than the first segment.

TRACKED VEHICLE FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF REDUCED MOBILITY PERSONS
20220296441 · 2022-09-22 ·

This tracked vehicle for the transportation of at least one reduced mobility person comprises an endless track drive (10) on each side of a passenger compartment. Each endless track drive comprises an endless belt (102A-102D), an electric motor connected to a drive pulley (108) in engagement with the belt, an idle pulley; a sub-frame (110) supporting the drive pulley and the idle pulley, respectively around a first rotation axis (Y108) and a second rotation axis (Y112) parallel to the first rotation axis; and a suspension system. The suspension system includes two articulated arms (116, 120) mounted on the sub-frame (110) with a possibility of rotation around a first articulation axis (Y116) and a second articulation axis (Y120) parallel to the first and second rotation axes (Y108, Y112), each articulated arm being equipped with several rollers (118, 119) in permanent contact with an upper surface (S102) of a lower strand (102B) of the endless belt, between the two pulleys (108, 112), and with a set of teeth (1166, 1206) in meshing engagement with the set of teeth of the other arm. The suspension system also includes elastic means for biasing (E1) the sets of teeth (1166, 1206) of the two articulated arms (116, 120) toward the lower strand (102B) of the endless belt.
