Abstract

449,860. Motor-cycles adapted for use as water-cycles. CANEGHEM, A. E. F. VAN, 14, Klein - Hehlener Strasse, Celle, Hanover, Germany. Jan. 4, 1936, No. 370. [Classes 136 (i) and 136 (iii)] A motor-cycle adapted to be used as a water-cycle is provided with a covering or casing which, when the machine is used on land, acts as a mudguard, but serves as a float or hull on water. The casing enclosing the front wheel forms a separate unit adapted to turn with the wheel for steering on water. A hollow casing 2, Figs. 1 and 3, for the front wheel 1 is provided with stuffing-boxes 4 for the passage of the hub, and comprises side walls 6 adapted to swing outwards about hinges 7 to form floats, the front and back and the top being closed by collapsable covers 9, 12, respectively. The rear part of the cycle including the wheel 14 is similarly enclosed, side walls 18, Figs. 3 and 4, being adapted to swing outwards about hinges 19, carrying with them a collapsable rear wall 20. The covering then forms pockets 21 for luggage or passengers, and may also support passenger seats 22. The covering may be spread outwards by telescopic or rack-and-pinion mechanism, either manually or automatically by means of a float 29, which may also control gearing driving a propeller 28 from the motor. An intermediate cover 15 is recessed at 16 for the driver's legs, which are protected by folding side aprons 27 fitted adjacent to footrests 17. The motor cycle is supported when stationary &c. by side props 30 having ground-engaging parts or rollers, each prop being pivoted at 35 and adapted to be depressed by a pedal 34 and raised by a spring 32. The front wheel and casing when used as a rudder are turned through a frictional device or reduction gearing. A small wheel at the front, driven by the main wheel, facilitates climbing up a bank when leaving the water. The motor may be additionally cooled on water by means of a fan or compressed air, or by the passage thereto of water from the river &c. on which the machine is travelling.
