Abstract

The invention relates to fitting, on a vehicle of low mass and small size, a device allowing it to become amphibious at the required moment. This device, consisting of the actual vehicle, is equipped, inter alia, with steering, a differential 2, wheels 5, a motor 3 driving it; all of these components being mounted on a frame 1. The amphibious function is ensured by the inflatable element 4, fixed to the frame 1, and is connected to the exhaust pipe 19, inflation being produced by operating a tap 13. Movement over the water is provided by the propeller 8, driven by a propeller shaft 7 securely fastened to a bevel gear meshing with the differential ring gear 2. The device of this invention is intended to make the means of locomotion more suitable for certain surroundings, for facilitating visiting, this being by virtue of this multi-purpose nature. It may also be intended for leisure pursuits.

Description

La présente invention concerne un véhicule terrestre tout terrains de faible masse, pouvant être rendu amphibie au moment opportun par le conducteur,au moyen d'un support gonflable périphérique, en forme de V, dégrafable, laissant entrer les gaz d'échappement à l'intérieur de ce dernier.The present invention relates to a low-mass all-terrain land vehicle, which can be made amphibious at the appropriate time by the driver, by means of a peripheral inflatable support, V-shaped, detachable, allowing the exhaust gases to enter. inside of the latter.

Les moyens de propulsion utilisés sont les roues pour la terre,et l'hélice pour l'eau. Tous deux tirent leur energie du même moteur.The means of propulsion used are the wheels for the earth, and the propeller for the water. Both get their energy from the same engine.

L'inconvénient des engins amphihies est de se déplacer trop lente -ment sur l'eau et parfois sur terre. D'autre part,la mise en ser -vice de l'élément rendant,amphibie nFcessite des opérations qui demandent un certain temps. La solution apportée est donc de gon -fler l'élément pendant que l'engin roule encore sur terre ,ou, selon le terrain,au cours d'un court arrdt,le conducteur n'ayant qu'a manoeuvrer un robinet. L'hélice sera préalablement montée a l'avan -ce ,avant le départ,selon le chemin parcouru,connu ou non.The disadvantage of amphihian devices is to move too slowly - on water and sometimes on land. On the other hand, the putting into service of the rendering element, amphibious requires operations which require a certain time. The solution provided is therefore to inflate the element while the machine is still rolling on the ground, or, depending on the terrain, during a short stop, the driver only having to operate a tap. The propeller will be pre-assembled in advance, before departure, depending on the path traveled, whether known or not.

L'avantage du dispositif se situe au niveau de là partie cycle,car l'étanchelté y est totale (Transmission par engrenage,graissage par barbotage,au lieu d'une channe.) et empêche toute pénétration de corps étrangers. Avantages pour l'engin ainsi constitué:
Taille, poids mombre de relativement réduits. Facilité de démarrage,et de démontage,etc...The advantage of the device is at the level of the cycle part, because the seal is complete there (Transmission by gear, lubrication by bubbling, instead of a chain) and prevents any penetration of foreign bodies. Advantages for the machine thus constituted:
Size, weight relatively reduced. Ease of starting, and disassembly, etc ...

Selon une nouvelle formule,le kart tout terrain amphibie présente, muni de ses quatre roues,une garde au sol suffisante pour permettre le passage d 'obstacles,le montage de l'hélice,la mise en service de l'élément gonflable.According to a new formula, the amphibious all-terrain kart has, with its four wheels, sufficient ground clearance to allow the passage of obstacles, the mounting of the propeller, the commissioning of the inflatable element.

Ce dispositif est réalisé avec comme pièce maItresse,un différentielle afin-de part la motricité- de permettre la récupération de l'énergie devant faire se mouvoir l'hélice,ce,à l'aide d'un second pignon monté sur la couronne de ce dernier. ( Augmentation ou réduction de la vitesse selon la raison de l'engrenage.)
L'élément gonflable sur le dispositif réalisé,permettant a l'engin de flotter,se présente en forme de V,sur lequel sont implantés des goujons pour la fixation sur le cadre. Son gonflage est assuré par une liaison au pa-t d'échappement et commandé par un robinet à deux
Positions. Pour la sécurité de l'utilisateur,une soupape de sure -té sera MOntée,limitant la pression des gaz ainsi récupérés.This device is produced with a master piece, a differential in order - for motor skills - to allow the recovery of the energy which must cause the propeller to move, using a second pinion mounted on the crown of this last. (Increase or decrease in speed depending on the reason for the gear.)
The inflatable element on the device made, allowing the machine to float, is in the form of a V, on which studs are installed for fixing to the frame. Its inflation is ensured by a connection to the exhaust pipe and controlled by a two-way valve
Positions. For the safety of the user, a safety valve will be lowered, limiting the pressure of the gases thus recovered.

A la position repos,l'élément gonflable est maintenu par un système d'agrafes. Au gonflage, les agrafes sautent d'elles-mémes suivant l'augmentation du volume. La direction sur l'eau est assurée par un safran monté sur la barre du volant.In the rest position, the inflatable element is held by a system of staples. When inflated, the staples jump out by themselves as the volume increases. Steering on the water is ensured by a rudder mounted on the steering wheel bar.
