Abstract

Amphibious trailer

Consistent in tow vehicle formed by a bar structure, and a set of hydraulic mechanisms and drop-down panels that allow you to transform it into a boat catamaran type with two helmets and that has a mechanism of hitch to be towed by a tractor vehicle that can be embarked on a platform or upper main deck of the trailer thanks to a drop-down ramp that is located in the Top deck. The boat has systems of bow and stern stabilizers that improve stability avoiding longitudinal balancing as well as outboard motors and masts that They facilitate navigation. It also has four terraces or Useful folding covers.

Description

Amphibious trailer

Object of the invention

The Invention Patent referred to in This Report is intended to guarantee exploitation and exclusive property, throughout the national territory, of a vehicle trailer that, thanks to its special characteristics, becomes in a boat capable of transporting the tractor vehicle over This in a simple and stable way. The invention, which can be towed perfectly by road, it becomes a catamaran or boat of two recreational hulls that has several decks useful, allowing the user to move their vehicle through the water and Use the vehicle itself as a cabin. In addition, you can have masts with sails as an alternative displacement system to that of The propeller motors it presents.

Field of the Invention

This invention has its application within transformation needs of land vehicles for employment in the water (B60F) and adapted for the transport of vehicles (B60P 1/43 3/07), as well as the trailer hitch system that Conforms to A45F classification.

Background of the invention

There are precedents of inventions that allow to motor vehicles to be turned into amphibious vehicles by side or lower floats whose effectiveness is very limited due to the characteristics of air use as a basis for the buoyancy of the invention.

At present, there is no record of inventions like the one described herein, consistent in a boat trailer convertible vehicle capable of transport to the tractor vehicle.

The state of the art has evolved what necessary for which realization of an amphibious trailer Transformable can be a novel reality.

The invention patent, object of this report, responds to a clear need to advance in the improvement of comfort since it does not require marinas or swamps to have a pleasure boat capable of moving the vehicle (tourist van, all terrain, etc ...) by water.

Description of the invention

The invention consists in the adaptation of a boat of two hulls, of the catamaran type, to a chassis with wheels and trailer hitch system, which allows it to be displaced by road.

It has a sliding ramp on the trailer as well as hydraulic mechanisms that allow the transformation, by sliding the different surfaces of the structure initially configured as a tow vehicle in a boat

The invention has numerous advantages since it is a very stable vessel since the catamaran-type double hull arrangement offers greater beam and therefore greater lateral stability. In addition, it has four useful decks, does not require the existence of ports or swamps for its resting position, can be parked in a garage and only requires a wash with fresh water after use in seawater, the cabin is not necessary to be replaced by the tractor vehicle itself (tourism, SUV, van,
etc ...) and the possibility of using candles significantly increases autonomy.

Description of the drawings

To better understand the scope of this invention, we will describe it on the attached drawings in which they have materialized a preferred design of the same and different views with the process of its deployment, given as an example without limiting character.

Fig. 1 shows a plan and side view of the invention,

Fig. 2 shows several side views of the invention during the process of placing the vehicle on the main deck,

Fig. 3 shows several front views of the invention during the process of placing the tractor vehicle on its main deck,

Fig. 4 shows several plan views of the invention during the process of placing the vehicle on its main deck and

Fig. 5 shows two side views of the two versions of the amphibious trailer (with and without sail masts) in the navigation position.

Fig. 6 shows two front views of the two versions of the invention (with and without sail masts) in the navigation position and

Fig. 7 shows two plan views of the two versions of the invention (with and without sail masts) in the navigation position

As can be seen in the figures, the invention is very simple since it consists of towing in the can distinguish: (1) hydraulic jacks, (2) propeller motors outboard, (3) hydraulic motor, (4) system reservoir hydraulic, (5) electric battery, (6) fuel tank, (7) hydro-stabilizing helmets, (8) sliding beams, (9) tow hitch, (10) wheel axle, (11) wheels, (12) chassis structure bars, (13) drop-down ramp, (14) bow stabilizer, (15) stern stabilizer, (16) vehicle tractor, (17) main deck, (18) side deck, (19) bow deck, (20) stern deck and (21) masts optional

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the figures, the invention is basically a tow vehicle, whose hitch (9) is see in fig 1, which is transformed into a type boat catamaran.

At the top it has a ramp of double sheet (13) that unfolds and collects thanks to some mechanisms consisting of hydraulic jacks (1) and by which allows the ascent to the main deck (17) of the vehicle (16) tractor.

Once the vehicle (16) is located on the roof main, just move the trailer to the water to drive the rest of the mechanisms that ensure the stability of the boat Thus other hydraulic mechanisms move towards sides of the invention the two helmets hydro-stabilizers (7) buoyancy base of the catamaran, supported by the sliding beams (8), forming  in addition the lateral covers of the boat (18).

In addition, these hydraulic mechanisms raise the front and rear panels supported by the bars chassis structure (12) and by the axle (10) that contains the wheels of the trailer (11) forming the bow covers (19) and stern (twenty).

These hydraulic mechanisms (1) are fed and regulated by the hydraulic system tank (4), hydraulic motor (3) and electric battery (5). Displacement of the boat is carried out by two outboard engines (2) that have their fuel tank (6). To improve the stability, the invention has the bow (14) and the stern (15) of fiber stabilizers or inflatables whose mission consists of reduce the longitudinal rocking of the ship, as observed in the drawings

Within the essentiality of the invention, they fit variants of detail, so it can be the catamaran trailer, trimaran, or similar, as well as the dimensions may vary of the different parts of the system, and of course, the material employee.

Claims (4)

1. Amphibious trailer.- characterized by the fact that it is formed by a tow vehicle formed by a bar structure and a set of hydraulic mechanisms that, thanks to its action, transform the tow vehicle into a catamaran type boat with two hulls and because The vehicle has a hitch mechanism to be towed by a tractor vehicle that can be embarked on the top platform of the tow vehicle thanks to a drop-down ramp that is located on the top deck of the trailer. 2. Amphibious trailer, according to the 1st claim, and which is characterized by having four deployable decks or side terraces that are deployed thanks to the hydraulic jacks during the transformation of the trailer into a boat. 3.
