Description:

Abstract:

The object of my invention is to provide a wheel, for use in connection with traction vehicles, which shall be formed with a peripheral groove, and have movably secured thereto a series of shoes, each of which shall be provided with a track which fits within peripheral groove of wheel as same rotates, and each shoe being so secured that as wheel is rotated same will fall by gravity into such position as to lie upon the ground directly in front of wheel, consequently forming a continuous rotating trackway for travel of wheel thereon.

Claim:

The combination with the wheel, of the peripheral groove provided therein, of the shoe movably secured to the wheel and rotating therewith, and of the track projecting above the shoe and fitting within peripheral groove of the wheel.
