Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make an used ordinary-sized passenger car, including a light van, a mini-sized motor vehicle or the like, into an amphibian motor car, with an easy method. SOLUTION: A durable waterproof sheet is formed into a bag. A vehicle is covered with the durable waterproof sheet from the bottom with wheel parts left uncovered. Front wheels are mounted with plates for steering, and rear wheels are mounted with propellers for propulsive use so as to rotate for going- ahead and backing-up. The amphibian motor car, provided with waterproof structures of the front and rear wheels, in intake and exhaust structure of an engine, and a balancing structure as a ship or the like, has a structure capable of running on both of the ground and water. The amphibian motor car is constituted of the vehicle, the durable waterproof sheet, the plates for steering on the front wheels, the plates with paddles for obtaining propulsive power under water on the rear wheels, and the intake and exhaust openings, and the bottom thereof is shaped in a protruding manner so as to be stable as a ship, and is formed out of a floating material or the like for weight balancing of an engine section.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention makes it possible for ordinary passenger cars (including mini cars) to operate on water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an automobile has been run on a land road. However, even if you buy a ship, there is no place to moor, or you pay a huge fee to moor, and if you go to the marina by car, you will be charged for parking. In addition, algae and shells attached to the hull had to be removed and painted, which was very laborious and costly.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages by a simple method.

[0004]

According to the present invention, the concept that a conventional automobile runs on land can be realized by attaching a simple waterproof cover by changing the idea from the ground up. After using it as a ship, the problem is solved by driving to the parking lot and stopping it.

[0005]

In the present invention, a new car or the like is not exposed to seawater, so it is better to use an old car as much as possible.
However, use only certain engines. As a structure, first, form a bag with a durable seat (such as used for truck hoods and rubber boats), make sure that only the wheels come out of the bag-shaped seat, and the front wheels are replaced with wheel covers, Attach a disc-shaped reinforced plastic plate, steer with the steering wheel as on land, and on the rear wheel, use a disc-shaped reinforced plastic with wings like a water wheel like a propeller to give propulsion. You can attach objects and enter or leave the sea or lake from land. You can also enjoy fishing by opening the door windows. Of course, intake and exhaust of the engine should be possible. Also, in order to obtain stability when it becomes a ship,
Raise the center of the bottom of the ship vertically high.

[0006]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(FIG. 1) shows a state in which the waterproof sheet of the present invention is attached.
1. 1. For the car body Put the tarpaulin in the shape of a bag up to the height of the door of the vehicle and cover it from the bottom. For the engine, 2A. Lift the part,
Makes it easier for air to enter. 3. Is a holder for air intake. 4. Since a normal automobile has an engine in front, the front part becomes heavy, and therefore, in order to increase the buoyancy, an airbag, styrofoam, etc. are put in to balance. (FIG. 2) is a part of the conventional front suspense. Is on the back of the desk brake. There is a back plate. This is shown in FIG. It may be formed integrally with the auxiliary plate. To this, 10. 1. Remove the tire. Adhere to tarpaulin. Before that, 15. Remove the brake unit. Next, fit the tire.
8. At the same time as the plastic plate on the flange Secure with the wheel. 5. The plastic plate is made of a reinforced plastic such as FRP to be strong. Turning the steering wheel, like driving on land, changes the direction of the front wheels and acts as a rudder. 4. If the rudder is not sharp, Put the plastic plate out of the car body and fix it. The vehicle uses a rear-wheel drive vehicle, and (Fig. 4) is a view from the rear, in order to levitate underwater. Put a tarpaulin on the bottom. 13. Chimney through which exhaust gas escapes And the air vent 1 collected at the bottom of the body
6. Is provided. The mechanism for driving is shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 22. On the rear axle plate, 23. 24. on the webbed mounting plate Fix the webbed board or make it one-piece. These are made of reinforced plastics, such as FRP, tough. 25. The auxiliary plate is made of a flexible material and attached. The waterproof structure of the rear wheel is
As shown in the sectional view of FIG. 31. on the back of the drum brake 1. On the rear wheel back plate By attaching a waterproof sheet, the body side and the water side are separated.
29. When the main body floats on the water, it should be vertical like a ship to make it stable against shear waves. Attach a strong and light object such as a pipe, and Attach some girder, and 2. Cover with tarpaulin. However, in order to operate this modified ship, a license of ship class 4 or higher is required, and the ship must be inspected.

[0007]

The greatest effect of the present invention is to convert a used car to an amphibious car at a low cost by remodeling a used cheap car and putting on a cheap thing called a waterproof sheet from the bottom. As a result, it is possible to store the vehicle in a parking lot at home without mooring it on the water like a ship, so that there is no cost.
