Track system, and vehicle including the same
First Claim
1. A track system for providing complementary shock absorbing capability to a primary shock absorbing assembly having a hydraulic path containing fluid, the track system comprising:
- a chamber having opposite first and second ends, the first end of the chamber being provided with a port operatively connectable to the hydraulic path of the primary shock absorbing assembly, said port being configured for allowing fluid from the hydraulic path of the primary shock absorbing assembly to enter and exit the chamber of the track system through the port thereof;
a damping assembly for damping a flow of fluid entering the chamber via the port thereof;
an adjusting assembly for adjusting a damping mode of the damping assembly.

Abstract
A track system for providing complementary shock absorbing capability to a primary shock absorbing assembly having a hydraulic path containing fluid. The track system includes a chamber, a damping assembly and an adjusting assembly. The chamber has opposite first and second ends, the first end of the chamber being provided with a port operatively connectable to the hydraulic path of the primary shock absorbing assembly, the port being configured for allowing fluid from the hydraulic path of the primary shock absorbing assembly to enter and exit the chamber of the track system through the port thereof. The damping assembly is configured for damping a flow of fluid entering the chamber via the port thereof. The adjusting assembly is configured for adjusting a damping mode of the damping assembly.

19. A vehicule provided with at least one primary shock absorbing assembly having a hydraulic path containing fluid, each primary shock absorbing assembly being operatively connected to a corresponding track system for providing complementary shock absorbing capability to each given primary shock absorbing assembly, the track system comprising:
-
a chamber having opposite first and second ends, the first end of the chamber being provided with a port operatively connectable to the hydraulic path of the primary shock absorbing assembly, said port being configured for allowing fluid from the hydraulic path of the primary shock absorbing assembly to enter and exit the chamber of the track system through the port thereof;
a damping assembly for damping a flow of fluid entering the chamber via the port thereof;
an adjusting assembly for adjusting a damping mode of the damping assembly.
