The lower end of the vehicle 1 can be coupled to the peripheral edge of the support plate 30 by, for example, winding a metal belt 37 and fastening both ends with bolts and nuts. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1A, it is desirable to provide locking portions on the lower edge 10 of the vehicle 1 and on the upper edge 300 of the peripheral portion of the support plate 30. The blower 2 is installed on a support plate 30, and a ventilation hole 36 is provided in the installation plate 30 below. The blower 2 is provided to maintain the three-dimensional shape of the vehicle 1 by blowing air into the vehicle 1 through a vent 36, and is connected to a battery 32 and activated by a switch 20.

Therefore, this vehicle maintains a constant three-dimensional shape of the vehicle 1 by continuously operating the blower 2, and is self-propelled by the drive unit 3, resulting in a lightweight vehicle based on an air film structure. Furthermore, when moving or transporting the vehicle, the entire vehicle can be made extremely compact by stopping the blower 2 and removing the air from the vehicle 1, which is convenient. The air film constituting the vehicle 1 is made of inexpensive material and easy to process, resulting in low manufacturing costs. If the form of this vehicle is to be changed, the vehicle 1 may be removed from the support plate 30, and another type of vehicle may be attached in the same manner. It is desirable that the joint between the vehicle 1 and the support plate 30 and the joint of the vehicle 1 be made as airtight as possible.
Since the pressure inside the vehicle 1 is maintained by the continuous operation of the blower 2, some leakage is allowed.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a rotating cup type vehicle.
The vehicle 1A has a cup-shaped shape in which three to four people can sit inside, and is supported on a support plate 30A of the drive section 3A. The drive unit 3A moves the support plate 3 onto the revolution plate 32A supported by the central shaft 31A via the support shaft 35A.
0, and the support plate 30A is caused to revolve around an axis 31A by a revolving plate 32A, and is also made to rotate around an axis 35A via a transmission device by a motor 33A on the revolving plate 32A. . Blower 2A
is arranged so as to send air into the vehicle 1A through the vent hole 36A of the support plate 30A, similar to the example shown in FIG. In this example as well, the vehicle 1A is lightweight based on the air film structure, and the motor 33A can be downsized and the support structure can be simplified, so the vehicle device as a whole is lightweight. Become. The vehicle 1A can be easily removed from the support plate 30A and replaced with another type of vehicle, and can also be easily repaired.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a self-propelled vehicle that can be steered. This vehicle enjoys free maneuvering, particularly within a certain range of the surrounding wall, while colliding with the surrounding wall and other similar vehicles. In this example, the air membrane structure vehicle 1B is formed in an annular shape so as to form a space for accommodating a person in the center, and the annular portion itself forms a space closed inside. Vehicle 1
B is attached on the support plate 30B of the drive unit 3. The drive unit 3B includes a support plate 30B.
Below, a driving rear wheel 31B, a steering front wheel 31B',
A handle part 3 is provided with a battery 32B and a drive motor 33B, and is connected to the front wheel in a housing part 10B at the center of the vehicle 1B on a support plate 30B.
