摘要:
The invention concerns a machine comprising a hull (1) capable of floating on a water expanse. The hull (1) is permanently equipped with a transverse rigid axle (9) supporting two suspension arms (11) bearing wheels (2). Rubber shock absorbers (10) are inserted between the axle (9) and the suspension arms (11). The axle (9) can pivot between a rolling position and a floating position wherein the wheels (2) are raised and housed in cavities (30) arranged in the hull (1). Means are provided for manoeuvring and locking the axle (9) into one or the other of said extreme positions. The axle (9) is mounted in a recess (33) provided beneath the hull (1) and is maintained by two unsealed bearings (21). The axle (9) is equipped with a lever arm (22) to enable it to be pivoted. The recess (33) can be closed by a matching part.

The invention concerns a watercraft having a hull (1) comprising two parallel interconnected floats (3) in the form of longitudinal halves of a surfboard. The bridge between these floats is formed by a central connection web (4) and a further connection web (7) lying at a distance therefrom towards the rear. Disposed in the central connection web (4), along the longitudinal central plane (2), is a rail (14) for securing in a longitudinally displaceable manner a mast (25) for sail rigging (26), such that the hull can be used for windsurfing. The hull can also be used for sailing when the mast is additionally secured by two easily-mounted support struts (30) which extend between the mast and the front tips of the floats (3). A seat (33) can be mounted on each float for at least two sailors, and a rudder (35) can be disposed in the rear connection web (7). Furthermore, a longitudinally movable seat (20) can be disposed on rails (19) arranged parallel to the longitudinal central plane (2), and tholes (22) for oars can be inserted in recesses (23) in each of the floats, such that the hull can also be propelled by rowing. Wheels or skids detachably mounted on the hull also enable it to be driven on land or ice by means of wind power.

L'invention décrite concerne une structure d'hydroplanage à ailerons porteurs et à plans de sustentation ou aile volante (39, 40, 41) basée sur le concept de plans ou de surfaces planes en flèche avant (77, 78) dont la partie antérieure est en flèche arrière (79, 80) et la partie postérieure en flèche avant (68, 69), et sur lesquelles la structure à ailerons porteurs/plans de sustentation peut s'appuyer et planer sur ou dans un fluide, de préférence l'eau ou l'air. Les structures d'hydroplanage à ailerons porteurs/plans de sustentation peuvent être fixées sur des structures nautiques ou des embarcations (9). Elles peuvent également être fixées sur de petites embarcations amphibies à voile ou à moteur à explosion ou électrique (Figures 36, 37).
摘要:
A vehicle having a steerable wheel has a mechanism for retracting the wheel into a compartment in the vehicle. The mechanism comprises a pillar 23 mounted to the vehicle within the compartment at two spaced positions, preferably at the top and bottom of the pillar. A steering arm 26 fixed to the pillar is movable to rotate the pillar 23 about its own axis. A collar 22 is slidably mounted on the pillar 23 but rotatable with the pillar. The collar 22 carries wheel forks 21 on which a pair of wheels is mounted on stub axles. The wheels are turned by rotation of the collar as a result of the steering action on the pillar, and their height is altered by raising and lowering the position of the collar on the pillar. The mechanism is applicable for use in an amphibious craft.

An assembly for towing a boat (10) includes a pair of channel members (16, 18) mounted on the transom (14) of the boat and a towing socket (50) formed as part of an upstanding hitch (54) carried on a tow vehicle. A pair of leaf spring supports (20, 22) each carry wheels (44, 46) and stub axles (40, 42) and are pinned to the channel members by means of pi vot pins (24, 26) and other removable pins (36, 38) which hold the supports firmly in the channels when the removable pins are in place, which holds the wheels firmly in the lowered position for towing and which permit the supports and wheels to be rotated around the pivot pins to store the wheels when the removable pins are removed. Each of the stub axles includes a hollow extension (40, 42) which supports at its outboard end a rod or shaft (48) serving as a stabilizing bar and the stabi lizing bars are held in axial alignment by means of a stabilizing retaining tube (62) supporting the stabilizing bars at their inboard ends.

Chariot pour déplacer une planche à voile à l'aide du wishbone (20) associé, aux armatures (21, 22) non parallèles, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte un support (1) solidaire de deux roues (5) et, solidaires du support (1). des moyens (10, 11) agencés pour coopérer avec les deux surfaces extérieures des armatures (21, 22) et des moyens (16, 17) agencés pour coopérer avec les deux surfaces intérieures des armatures (21, 22). On se sert du wish-bone (20) comme timon du chariot.
摘要:
Leg assembly (10) for an amphibious vehicle comprises leg (11) and hydraulic ram (33) each pivotally mounted, above the waterline, externally to hull (17). The line of action of ram (33) is such that it is optimal (eg less than 30 DEG) with respect to the tangent to the arc of travel of leg (11) when it is lowered or raised. Leg (11) carries wheel (13) which may be swivelled for steering using hydraulic linear actuator (15). Assembly (10) is compact, light, yet capable of lifting the vehicle off the ground.
