Track Pad Reinforcement.

Abstract

There is disclosed an improved track shoe for use on an endless track vehicle, e.g., a military tank. The shoe includes an elastomeric pad equipped with an endless reinforcement band encircling the exposed peripheral edge surface of the elastomer to prevent such excessive pad deformation as would contribute to premature pad failure, i.e., cracking, pitting or chunking.
