ABSTRACT:
An all-terrain and amphibious automotive vehicle is provided by simple modification of an existing automotive vehicle. Supplemental axles have independent wheels which can be raised when not needed. An endless track is trained over the wheels on each side of the vehicle. Inflatable members (11-13) are secured to the chassis along its longitudinal edges and at the front and the rear of the chassis, and a further inflatable element (10) beneath the chassis serves as a float for the vehicle. The power-driven wheels (6') are interconnected with the other wheels (6) by means of sprockets (16) and transmission chains (17) as well as by a clutch (18) on the driven axle (1). It is possible to brake at least one of the power-driven wheels (6') to steer the vehicle by driving.
