Patent ID: 8784002

Claim:
A track system along which, when deployed, a vehicle may move, wherein the track system comprises first and second rollable tracks, wherein each of the rollable tracks comprises: a plurality of connected slat members forming a track length of the rollable track, wherein each of the plurality of connected slat members is formed of solid material and comprises: a slat length extending from a first end to a second end, a slat width perpendicular to the slat length extending from a first connection interface to a second connection interface, wherein the slat width is less than the slat length, wherein the first connection interface of each slat member is slidably connectable to the second connection interface of a different slat member, wherein the first connection interface of each slat member comprises a tongue portion and the second connection interface of each slat member comprises a groove portion, wherein the tongue portion of the first connection interface of each slat member is receivable within the groove portion of the second connection interface of a different slat member to slidably connect the first connection interface to the second connection interface along a connection axis such that the connected slat members are partially rotatable relative to each other about the connection axis to allow the plurality of connected slat members to be rolled up into a roll, a slat thickness perpendicular to the slat width and the slat length, wherein the slat width is greater than the slat thickness, and at least one strap element coupled along the track length of the rollable track, wherein the at least one strap element is coupled to each of the plurality of connected slat members at a pivot point such that the connected slat members allow for a limited slidable movement relative to each other along the connection axis between connected slat members.
