Abstract:
An agricultural tool used to form furrows includes a generally cylindrical support and a plurality of tires. Each tire comprises includes a sole by way of which the tire is mounted on the support, a tread opposite the sole and two sidewalls that connect the tread to the sole. The sole, the tread and the sidewalls jointly form a deformable casing. The tread of at least one of the plurality of tires has a generally domed shape. The sidewalls of this tire are generally inclined radially. The domed shape of the tread and the inclination of the sidewalls are such that the deformation of the casing urges the sole axially outward.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a reinforcing cable for a flexible endless caterpillar track made of an elastomer. The cable (30) comprises a plurality of strands (32C, 32P) each formed from steel filaments and arranged so as to be wound in a helix in the thickness of the belt. Each strand comprises a core composed of at least three filaments (34), an intermediate layer composed of a plurality of filaments (36) and surrounding the core, and an outer layer composed of a plurality of filaments (38) surrounding the intermediate layer. Application to caterpillar tracks for all-terrain vehicles.
