Abstract

L'invention porte sur une chenille sans fin destinée à assurer l'adhérence d'un véhicule tel qu'un véhicule de chantier, un véhicule agricole ou autre véhicule de travail. La chenille sans fin possède : un côté intérieur destiné à faire face à une pluralité de roues du véhicule ; un côté extérieur de contact avec le sol, destiné à entrer en contact avec le sol ; un premier chant latéral ; un second chant latéral. La chenille sans fin comprend un corps en élastomère et une pluralité de noyaux au moyen partiellement noyés dans le corps en élastomère. Chaque noyau s'étend transversalement à une direction longitudinale de la chenille sans fin pour donner de la rigidité transversale à la chenille sans fin. La chenille sans fin comprend un amortisseur d'impact dans une partie chant latéral de la chenille sans fin, la partie chant latéral étant placée entre les noyaux et le premier ou second chant latéral. L'amortisseur d'impact facilite une déformation élastique de la partie chant latéral lorsque la partie chant latéral heurte un obstacle sur le sol. Par exemple, dans certains modes de réalisation, l'amortisseur de choc peut comprendre un ou plusieurs trous qui peuvent se déformer lorsque la partie chant latéral heurte un obstacle sur le sol.
