Abstract
577,192. Armoured vehicles. SHAW, H. Feb. 17, 1944, No. 2967. [Class 92 (i)] [Also in Group XXXIII] An armoured or other vehicle A, the base of which is water-tight, has a collapsable vertical wall secured to the upper skin of the vehicle to enclose a water-free space of sufficient size to render the vehicle buoyant in water. In the form shown, a vessel or casing F formed of rubberised canvas is attached at its lower edge to a trough E fast with and passing round the vehicle. Attached to the interior of the vessel F are a number of inflatable tubes O, H. During land travel, the deflated tubes and vessel F are supported in the trough E which is preferably armoured. In water, buoyancy is obtained by pumping up the tubes with air to erect the vessel F. The vehicle may be concealed from aerial observation by a false floor J, and the casing F may be camouflaged and partly inflated for concealing purposes when used on land. In place of the inflatable tubes, an expansible framework formed of telescopic rods may be employed.
