Abstract
This invention relates to an endless traction band used to propel snowmobiles or any other tracked vehicle making use of clips to provide a sliding surface or to ensure power transmission to the traction band, and more particularly, to an improved clip hole configuration which is designed to avoid the fraying and dislodging of the reinforcing fibers. The clip hole perimeter is defined by side walls oriented at an angle with respect to the reinforcement fibers of the endless traction band.
Claims (10)
1. An improved traction band for use with a snowmobile, comprising:
a) a central band portion, which extends longitudinally along the circumference of said traction band, b) a pair of lateral band portions which extend longitudinally along the circumference of said traction band and are located on each side of said central band portion, c) reinforcing fibers having a fiber direction and which are embedded in said traction band in an organized matrix;
d) holes through said traction band, each of which defines a hole shape having lateral walls and side walls, said side walls having a side wall direction;
wherein said side wall direction is not parallel to said fiber direction.
a) a central band portion, which extends longitudinally along the circumference of said traction band, b) a pair of lateral band portions which extend longitudinally along the circumference of said traction band and are located on each side of said central band portion, c) reinforcing fibers having a fiber direction and which are embedded in said traction band in an organized matrix;
d) holes through said traction band, each of which defines a hole shape having lateral walls and side walls, said side walls having a side wall direction;
wherein said side wall direction is not parallel to said fiber direction.
2. An improved traction band as claimed in claim 1, wherein said fiber direction is parallel to said traction band longitudinal direction.
3. An improved traction band as claimed in claim 1, wherein each said side wall direction is parallel to said traction band longitudinal direction.
4. An improved traction band as claimed in claim 2, wherein said hole shape is an hexagonal shape having lateral walls which are perpendicular to said traction band longitudinal direction.
5. An improved traction band as claimed in claim 2, wherein said lateral walls are perpendicular to said traction band longitudinal direction and wherein said side walls have an arched shape.
6. An improved traction band as claimed in claim 2, wherein said lateral walls are perpendicular to said traction band longitudinal direction and wherein said side walls have a indented shape.
7. An improved traction band as claimed in claim 1, wherein said reinforcing fibers are tapered at said side walls to define a tapered fiber extremity.
8. An improved traction band as claimed in claim 1, wherein said side wall direction and said fiber direction defines an angle in the range of 5 to 90 degrees.
9. An improved traction band as claimed in claim 1, wherein said side wall direction and said fiber direction defines an angle in the range of 5 to 45 degrees.
10. An improved traction band as claimed in claim 1, wherein said wherein said side wall direction and said fiber direction defines an angle of approximately 9.5 degrees.
