A rubber crawler has a structure in which connecting members are sequentially fitted onto wing portions adjacent to each other without using steel cords for resisting tensile force applied to the rubber crawler. Accordingly, the rubber crawler of the present invention has excellent characteristics in that breakage of steel cords due to the tensile force can be prevented, and torsion of the rubber crawler can be reduced.

What is claimed is: 1. A rubber crawler comprising: an endless rubber elastomer; core metals including protruding portions protruding from an inner circumference of the rubber elastomer and pairs of left-hand side and right-hand side wing portions embedded in the rubber elastomer; and lugs formed at an outer circumference side of the rubber elastomer, wherein two connecting members are fitted onto each of the left-hand side and right-hand side wing portions of each core metal in the longitudinal direction of the rubber elastomer, such that the adjacent core metals are sequentially connected with each other; and wherein the connecting members are arranged in a staggered form in the longitudinal direction of the rubber elastomer. 2. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein rails on which wheels travel are provided at outer sides of the protruding portions of the core metals in a transverse direction of the rubber crawler, and the wing portions onto which the connecting members are fitted are formed outside of the rails in the transverse direction. 3. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein a portion of the wing portions onto which the connecting members are fitted is formed with a substantially circular cross-sectional configuration. 4. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein a tip end portion of the wing portions is a protruding portion which is formed with a cross-sectional configuration different from that of the portion of the wing portions onto which the connecting members are fitted. 5. The rubber crawler of claim 4, wherein a protruding portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the rubber elastomer is formed at the tip end portion of the wing portions. 6. The rubber crawler of claim 4, wherein a protruding portion extending in the thickness direction of the rubber elastomer is formed at the tip end portion of the wing portions. 7. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein engaging portions, each having a substantially circular inner circumferential surface, are formed at both ends of the connecting members. 8. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein a flat portion is provided at one side of the connecting members, and is exposed at an inner circumferential surface of the rubber elastomer to form a rail on which wheels travel. 9. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein, as seen from a side view, a straight portion is formed at an inner circumferential side of the connecting members, an intermediate portion of the connecting members at an outer circumferential side thereof is recessed toward the inner circumference thereof, and engaging portions, each having a substantially circular inner surface, are formed at both ends of the connecting members. 10. The rubber crawler of claim 1, further comprising lugs for substantially covering the connecting members at outer most sides in a transverse direction of the rubber elastomer. 11. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein sets of the connecting members fitted onto the left-hand side and right-hand side wing portions of the core metals are arranged symmetrically in a transverse direction of the rubber elastomer. 12. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein sets of the connecting members fitted onto the left-hand side and right-hand side wing portions of the core metals are arranged asymmetrically in a transverse direction of the rubber elastomer. 13. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein the cross section of the wing portions at a side in contact with the connecting members is formed into a substantially circular-shaped configuration, and the cross section of the wing portions at another side not in contact with the connecting members is formed into an trapezoidal configuration. 14. The rubber crawler of claim 13, wherein an inclination angle θ of an inclining surface of the trapezoidal section ranges from 5° to 30°. 15. The rubber crawler of claim 1, wherein expanded portions are formed at both outer sides of the protruding portions of each core metal in a transverse direction of the rubber crawler, and the wing portions, the connecting members and the expanded portions are embedded in the rubber elastomer, or embedded with portions being exposed. 16. The rubber crawler of claim 15, wherein the expanded portions are provided in the vicinities of left-hand side and right-hand side outer sides of the protruding portions of the core metals. 17. The rubber crawler of claim 15, wherein the expanded portions are provided at the midpoints of the wing portions. 18. The rubber crawler of claim 15, wherein the expanded portions are provided at tip ends of the wing portions.
