Definitions

• the invention relates to a motor vehicle.
• the invention is based on the object of avoiding these disadvantages and proposing a motor vehicle which provides accommodation capacities of different sizes for the changing needs and thereby eliminates the need to procure and maintain two motor vehicles.
• This object is achieved according to the invention by a front part of the motor vehicle containing the engine, a detachable middle part (module) and a detachable rear wall which can alternatively be attached to the middle part or front part.
• the middle part expediently rests on its own pair of wheels.
• the rear wall can be divided into a rear apron and a hinged rear door.
• the middle part and the rear wall can advantageously be attached to the front part by means of screwing means of the same design.
• a three-point screw connection distributed over the vehicle width can be provided on the adjoining lower edges of the three motor vehicle parts and a two-point screw connection, each with a pair of screws, on the adjoining upper edges.
• two longitudinal connecting rods (stabilizers) are arranged between the upper and lower spraying centers, which are connected at both ends to the upper ends of the rear shock absorber struts by means of easily releasable connecting means Attack the pair of wheels of the front part and the shock absorber struts of the pair of wheels of the middle part.
• the front part is expediently designed to the extent that three seats arranged side by side are set up.
• FIG. 1 a side view of a three-part passenger car with the three components shown pulled apart
• FIG. 2 a cross section along section line II-II in FIG. 1,
• Figure 3 an enlarged detail of Figure 1 and
• FIG. 4 a further enlarged detail from FIG. 1.
• the schematic representation given in FIG. 1 shows that the passenger car consists of a front part 1 containing the engine, a separable middle part 2 enlarging the passenger compartment and a separable rear wall 3, 4 which can alternatively be attached to the middle part 2 or front part 1.
• the front part has the two pairs of wheels 5.5 and 6, 6, whereas the middle part 2 has a pair of wheels 7.7.
• the rear wall is advantageously formed in two parts and consists of a folding rear door 3 and a rear apron 4.
• FIG. 2 shows the type and arrangement of the releasable connecting means by means of which the middle part 2 can be connected to the front part 1 and separated again.
• the middle part 2 At the lower edge of the cross member 13 is provided on the front part 1 with three bores 14, 14, 14, into which connecting screws (not shown in the drawing) can be inserted.
• the front lower edge of the middle part 2 is designed accordingly, so that two cross members 13, 13 can be connected to one another by means of three screws.
• Two contact plates 8, 8 are fastened to the upper edge, each with two plug screws 9, 10, which can be inserted into corresponding bores in correspondingly designed contact plates 8, 8 on the front upper edge of the middle part 2.
• FIG. 3 shows an enlarged representation of an example of an embodiment of the connecting means encompassed by the circle 20 in FIG. 1.
• the contact plates 8 are firmly connected to a transverse tubular frame 19 and to the roof of the front part 1.
• the bolts 9, 10, which are firmly connected to the contact plates 8, pass through corresponding bores in the opposite, correspondingly designed contact plates 8 ', 8'. of the middle part 2, which in turn are attached to cross tubes 19 '.
• FIG. 4 shows an example of a differently designed connection form from the area of the cutout of the circle 21 in FIG. 1.
• This connection form ensures, as a result of the additional hinge joint 23, that the tailgate 3 swings out in the direction of the arrow 17, since a part 16 is opposite the part 18 of the contact plate of the rear wall is designed to be movable.
