Abstract

1463418 Amphibious craft J F H POWELL 23 May 1975 [21 June 1974] 27770/74 Heading B7A An amphibious craft comprises a hull 1 supported by at least two endless chains of buoyant members 6, which are supported solely in stationary tracks 5 in which they move. The chains are driven by friction wheels 12 from at least one I.C. engine (14), Fig. 2 (not shown). The speed of each chain can be varied. Each buoyant member has lugs 7, so that it can be joined to the adjacent member by hinge pins, rollers 9, and resilient lateral rollers 10. The hull, buoyant members, and tracks can be made from glass-reinforced plastics. The shape of each member 6 ensures that it remains stationary with respect to the water over which it travels. The rollers 9, 10 can be replaced by PTFE or nylon blocks, which can run in PTFE guides. The chains can run freely within the tracks, with the craft driven by sails, oars, or punt poles. The links can be omitted with each member pushing directly on the next.
