| 121 | Wheel suspension and retraction apparatus | US12522417 | 2008-01-15 | US09102389B2 | 2015-08-11 | Jonathan Austin King; Neil Graham Jenkins |
| A wheel suspension and retraction apparatus (2) for an amphibious vehicle comprises a suspension unit having transverse upper and lower suspension links (4, 8); spring and damper unit (12), and suspension upright (6) supporting wheel (10), and pivotally connected to outboard ends of links (4 and 8). The wheel retraction mechanism has a retraction linkage (14, 16, 18), pivotably connectable to the vehicle, and an actuator (38) for moving the wheel suspension between a protracted position for land use and a retracted position for use on water. The retraction mechanism supports the suspension unit spaced apart transversely from the vehicle. Tie bar (16) is connected to upper retraction arm (14) at an intermediate location (30) to ensure a large angle of tilt on retraction, to ensure that the wheel is retracted above hull line (156). The wheel suspension does not have to be compressed on retraction. | ||||||

| An amphibious vehicle, in particular military, amphibious vehicle, includes a first end region (2) and a second end region (3) opposite the latter in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The first end region (2) is designed as a land driving front and the second end region (3) is designed as a ship's bow for water travel. In a method for operating an amphibious vehicle (1), the main travel direction of the amphibious vehicle (1) is reversed upon transfer between land travel and water travel. | ||||||
| 123 | Amphibious vehicle | US13551591 | 2012-07-17 | US08764499B1 | 2014-07-01 | J. David March |
| An amphibious vehicle achieves a stable ride, maneuverability, and high speed. The vehicle includes a hull having a “V” center portion with outboard sponsons. The sponsons reside between the front wheel wells and the rear wheels wells for improving lift and transition to planing. Shallow tunnels begin in rear portions of the front wheel wells and taper into the sponsons to release water trapped in the wheel wells. Inward facing turning edges also reside between the front and rear wheel wells and improve in-water handling. Wheels are retractable by pneumatic cylinders in parallel with air shock absorbers and suspension cutout in the hull allow the suspension to lower through the hull. Flaps reside under suspension members and rise to cover the suspension cutouts when the wheels are retractable when the wheels are raised to reduce drag. A Morse cable couple a rack and pinion unit to a jet drive. | ||||||

| Buoyant armor for jacketed rounds includes an outer, laminate reinforced strike face having a hardness greater than 640 Brinell. The strike face is configured to strip the jacket off a projectile as it passes through the strike face and to rotate the projectile. An inner, laminate reinforced strike face is separated from the outer, laminate reinforced strike face by a spacer layer. Foam greater than 40 mm thick is disposed behind the inner strike face and is configured to disperse a round and/or its fragments and to provide buoyancy to the armor. | ||||||

| An amphibious vehicle includes: a hull (1) having a longitudinal axis; an aquatic propulsion element; a terrestrial propulsion element (5a, 5b) mounted on arms (4a, 4b) pivoting about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hull, and capable of assuming a stowed position when the vehicle moves over water using the aquatic propulsion element, and an extended position in which the vehicle can move on the ground using the terrestrial propulsion element. In the stowed position, the arms (4a, 4b) extend into cavities (3a, 3b) formed in the hull (1), and a portion of the arms (4a, 4b) defines a lid that at least partially closes the cavity (3a, 3b) in the longitudinal direction of the hull bottom (2). | ||||||
| 127 | Articulated amphibious vehicle | US12291964 | 2008-11-14 | US08348708B2 | 2013-01-08 | Ronald W. Kanerva |
| An articulated amphibious vehicle includes a boat in the front and a rear propulsion unit pivotally connected by an articulation mechanism to the boat. The rear propulsion unit comprises an engine mechanically coupled to a pair of drive tracks for propelling the vehicle. Steering and throttle devices are provided in the boat to enable the operator to turn and power the rear propulsion unit, to thereby steer and control the vehicle. The articulated amphibious vehicle can travel over water, snow, ice, marsh, bogs, swamp, soft wet terrain or even hard terrain (preferably by adding wheels to the boat). Because it can traverse such a wide variety of environments, this “track boat” is more versatile than conventional air boats or conventional all-terrain vehicles. | ||||||

| 137 | Suspension arrangement | US10432122 | 2001-11-30 | US06945832B2 | 2005-09-20 | Terence James Roycroft |
| Vehicle suspension having a control arm pivotally mounted to vehicle body. Wheel support is pivotally mounted to the control arm. A hydraulic strut is pivotally mounted to body at trunnion mount. The wheel may be protracted to be placed vertically on the road surface or retracted at an angle, for example to allow good marine performance in an amphibious vehicle. Strut may be extended or retracted by hydraulic fluid pumped through ports and may also be used for wheel springing and damping. As trunnion mount is part way up the strut, the strut can pivot out of the way of the retracing wheel. A second control arm may also be fitted; this may be part of a double wishbone wheel suspension. | ||||||
| 138 | Seating for amphibious vehicles | US10635312 | 2003-08-06 | US20040134409A1 | 2004-07-15 | Geoffrey Lipscombe |
| Seat 2 is mounted to slide blocks 24 and rails 22, which in turn are mounted to upstanding brackets 20. The fore-and-aft adjustment of the seats is thus raised above the level of floor 16, avoiding fouling by sand and dirt; corrosion; and shorting where electric seat adjustment is used. Seat 2 comprises frame 4, backrest 14, and tip-up seat 8 which can be raised around pivots 6, 6null to allow a higher seating position for marine use. In marine mode, the helmsman sits on cushion 10; in road mode, the driver sits on cushion 12. Latches are provided for fore-and-aft and tip-up cushion adjustment. Flaps 26 may protect sliding surfaces from contamination. Rails 22 may face upwards (34, FIG. 3), downwards (44, FIG. 4), or sideways, as convenient; the seat may be supported on a cradle (40, FIG. 4). Slide blocks may be replaced by rollers (32, FIGS. 2, 6). | ||||||

| 140 | Integrated utility personal vehicle | US09963140 | 2001-09-24 | US06540569B1 | 2003-04-01 | Shao-Wei Gong |
| A utility vehicle integrated a motorcycle and a motorized watercraft within a hull is presented. It can be set in a motorcycle status or a motorized watercraft status. The two statuses of the vehicle shares a driving power source, and a driving power shifting control system is used to shift the driving power to either one of the two statuses with rider's choice. A steering system also is used to control the move directions for both the motorcycle status and the motorized watercraft status. The hull of the vehicle is formed by a front hull with a front wheel cabinet and a rear hull with a rear wheel cabinet, and it is sealed to make the vehicle buoy on the water surfaces as a motorized watercraft. The wheels of the vehicle can be pushed out with the open of the wheel cabinet doors to stand as a conventional motorcycle, or can be pulled back and hide in the wheel cabinets with the close of the wheel cabinet doors. Therefore, the vehicle can be ridden as a typical conventional motorcycle on roads or as a typical conventional motorized watercraft on water surfaces | ||||||
