Abrégé

A sit-astride amphibious vehicle configuration which supports a high performance envelope both on land as well as in water. The vehicle has a planing hull and four retractable wheels. Handlebars provide for directional control in both modes of operation. Each road wheel is retractable by pivoting through at least 45° so as to maximize ground clearance when in the land mode of operation and to minimize drag at substantial lean angles when in the marine mode of operation. While a jet drive may remain directly connected to the engine at all times, the driven wheels are only connected during land mode via a speed-change transmission. The entire power train is supported by a frame that is separable from the hull which in turn has a detachable top deck portion, whereby such configuration simplifies the construction, repair and servicing of the vehicle.

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.

In a waterjet propulsion, to prevent low steering power when operating at idle engine speed during manoeuvering, the prime mover has lower and a higher operating idle speeds. A speed sensor detects a low watercraft speed and operates the prime mover with the lower idle for high watercraft speed and at higher idle for low watercraft speed.

Amphibious vehicle (10) has land propulsion means and marine propulsion means. At least two axles with wheels (12) are spaced apart along the length of the vehicle. At least one intermediate axle with retractable wheel(s) (14) is positioned between the other axles. This additional axle may improve manoeuvrability over rough ground. Wheel(s) (14) may be retracted on water and/or on land. Wheels (12) may also be retractable. One or more axles may be driven, full time or selectively. The vehicle may plane on water, and may have a vee type hull (11). Marine propulsion may be by means of a jet drive. Wheel(s) (14) may retract vertically or through arcs around a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Skid steer may be used. Mudguards, a vehicle roof, and retraction guides for the wheels (slides 16) may be fitted. Pairs of slides may provide roof supports. A forward control driving position may be provided.

Abrégé

A sit-astride amphibious vehicle configuration (10) which supports a high performance envelope both on land as well as in water. The vehicle (10) has a planing hull (40) and four retractable wheels (50, 51, 52, 53). Handlebars (54) provide for directional control in both modes of operation. Each road wheel (50, 51, 52, 53) is retractable by pivoting through at least 45~ so as to maximize ground clearance when in the land mode of operation and to minimize drag at substantial lean angles when in the marine mode of operation. While a jet drive (55) may remain directly connected to the engine (60) at all times, the driven wheels (51, 52) are only connected during land mode via a speed-change transmission (61).

An amphibious vehicle has a power train including an engine having an oil sump connected to a lower portion of the engine an in-line transmission and a power take off. The power take off is located between the engine and the transmission thereby separating the engine and the transmission, is driven by the engine crankshaft and drives the transmission; and is adapted to transfer drive to a marine propulsion unit located at the rear of the amphibious vehicle by means of a drive shaft which runs below or through the oil sump of the engine or alongside the engine. The output from the transmission is adapted by a transfer drive to drive a differential located at the rear of the amphibious vehicle; and optionally also to drive a front differential, to provide all-wheel-drive The vehicle may have a vee-type hull or a cathedral type hull; and may comprise retractable suspension, with angled retraction.
