ABSTRACT:
A linked vehicle includes several units which are arranged one after another in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and are connected by bending links with one another so that the individual units can pivot relative to one another. The individual units can include two frame parts which can be built of one or more floating members and can be connected with one another by cross-connecting members. Rigidly constructed baskets can be inserted into open regions provided in the individual units. According to a further development of the invention, the units have sliding surfaces provided on their underside and possibly also on their side walls, which sliding surfaces can support the links on a fixed base and are made of a slidable material which has, on the material of the fixed base, a friction coefficient which is as low as possible. The base can be formed by a channel in which the vehicle is driven and guided by potential energy. The linked vehicles can be utilized in amusement parks, where they can be guided in water-carrying channels or in dry channels.
