-16- IDLER-ROLLER RECOIL DEVISE Abstract An idler recoil device is utilized for track-type vehicles. The idler recoil device protects a crawler track system from damage when some foreign object, such as a rock, is trapped between an endless chain link assembly and a chain supporting element of the crawler track system. An idler link is pivotally connected to a track frame of the crawler track system and a recoilable rear idler is rotatably positioned on an idler hub itself pivotally connected to said idler link. An increase in tension on said endless chain link assembly causes said idler hub to rotate away from said endless chain link assembly decreasing track path length and, consequently, tension. This rotation is resiliently resisted by a recoil pad mounted between said idler hub and said idler link. A tensile link prevents any recoil up to a preselected endless chain link assembly tension.
