Abstract

A retracting wheel mounting is used on an amphibious vehicle. The sprung wheel is mounted on a trailing axle (3)-under a recess(1) in the vehicle. The upper mounting (9) of the damper can be unclipped and moved along the recess to a corner lifting the wheel into the recess. The damper is secured by simple retaining bolts and spring clips. The mounting is simple and is not greatly affected by corrosion. It does not require a complex hydraulic retraction control and is suitable for retracting wheels on pleasure craft etc.

Description

Mechanische Vorrichtung zum Einziehen gefederter RäderMechanical device for retracting sprung wheels

bei amphibischen Fahrzeugen, insbesondere Fahrzeuganhängern Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum mechanischen Einziehen gefederter Räder bei amphibischen Fahrzeugen, insbesondere bei Fahrzeug anhängern.in amphibious vehicles, particularly vehicle trailers. The invention relates to a device for mechanically retracting sprung wheels in amphibious vehicles Vehicles, especially vehicle trailers.

Bei derartigen Fahrzeugen, die insbesondere bei Benutzungen zu Freizeitzwecken längere Zeit, oft Wochen oder gar Monate, auf dem Wasser sind, wie z. B. beim Deutschen Patentamt München unter Az. P 28 22 182.1 und G 78 15 311.4 angemeldeten "Fahrzeuganhänger als integrierter Bestandteil eines Schlauchbootes wird es seitens des Erfinders für erforderlich gehalten, die Räder und speziell die beweglichen Teile des Fahrzeugs und der Federung der Korrosionseinwirkung des Wassers ( z. B.In such vehicles, especially when used for recreational purposes for a long time, often weeks or even months, on the water, such as. B. in German Patent office Munich under Az. P 28 22 182.1 and G 78 15 311.4 registered "vehicle trailer as an integral part of an inflatable boat, it is made by the inventor considered necessary, the wheels and especially the moving parts of the vehicle and the suspension of the corrosion effects of the water (e.g.

Salzwasser, chemikalienverseuchtes Wasser ) zu entziehen, damit die Verkehrssicherheit an Land nicht beeinträchtigt und andererseits durch Verminderung des Wasserwiderstandes die Gleitfähigkeit erhöht wird.Salt water, water contaminated with chemicals) so that the Road safety on land is not impaired and on the other hand by reduction the water resistance increases the sliding ability.

Bekannt sind Vorrichtungen zum Einziehen von Rädern bzw.Devices for pulling in wheels or

Fahrgestellenauf hydraulischem Wege im Flugzeugbau, welches jedoch ein technisch kompliziertes und aufwendiges Verfahren darstellt und sich wegen der Kostenträchtigkeit nicht auf amphibische Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Fahrzeugan- hänger, übertragen läßt.Chassis by hydraulic means in aircraft construction, which however represents a technically complicated and expensive process and because of the Amphibious vehicles, especially vehicles trailer, can be transferred.

Gesucht wurde eine einfache, mechanische, preiswerte Vorrichtung zum Einziehen von gefederten Radaufhängern, insbesondere bei amphibischen Fahrzeuganhängern, wobei unter Einbeziehung von handelsüblichen Federbeinen und Stoßdämpfern die Fahrslabilitat erhöht wird. -Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß wie folgt gelöst: Das Rad 2 ist zwischen einer Radaufhängung (Gabel) 3 mit seiner Radnabe 4 befestigt. Die Radaufhängung 3 ist wiederum mit einem Drehgelenk 7 stationär mit dem Radkasten 1 verbunden. Zwei handelsübliche Federbeine/Stoßdämpfer 6 sind freiNbeweglich durch Ösen 5a auf der Radaufhängung 3 und Schraubenbolzen 5 auf der Ra&aufhängung 3 aufgesetzt. Das obere Ende der Federbeine/Stoßdämpfer 6 ist mittels einer Lochbohrung 9, einer Öse am Ende der Federbeine/Stoßdämpfer 8 und durch einen Schraubenbolzen 20 am Radkasten 1 befestigt. In dieser Position ist das Rad 2 bei einem Amphibienfahrzeug fahrbereit zu Lande (Fig. 2).We were looking for a simple, mechanical, inexpensive device for Retraction of spring-loaded wheel suspensions, especially in the case of amphibious vehicle trailers, with the inclusion of commercially available struts and shock absorbers the driving stability is increased. -The object is achieved according to the invention as follows: The wheel 2 is between a wheel suspension (fork) 3 with its wheel hub 4 attached. The suspension 3 is in turn connected in a stationary manner to the wheel housing 1 by means of a swivel joint 7. Two Commercially available struts / shock absorbers 6 are freely movable through eyelets 5a on the Wheel suspension 3 and screw bolts 5 placed on the wheel suspension 3. That upper end of the struts / shock absorbers 6 is by means of a hole 9, an eyelet at the end of the struts / shock absorbers 8 and through a screw bolt 20 on the wheel arch 1 attached. In this position, the wheel 2 is ready to drive in an amphibious vehicle on land (Fig. 2).

Bei Wasserung des Fahrzeuges wird der Schraubenbolzen l0 entfernt. Hit den Federbeinen/Stoßdämpfern 6 wird das Rad 2 hochgezogen, die Federbeine/Stoßdämpfer 6 werden in Richtung Vorderteil des Radkastens 1 gedrückt und dort wiederum mittels einer Lochbohrung im Rahmen des Radkastens durch den Schraubenbolzen 10, der durch eine Schraubenmutter 11 abgesichert ist, befestigt.When the vehicle splashes into the water, the screw bolt l0 is removed. Hit the struts / shock absorbers 6, the wheel 2 is pulled up, the struts / shock absorbers 6 are pressed in the direction of the front part of the wheel arch 1 and there again by means of a hole in the frame of the wheel arch through the bolt 10, which is through a nut 11 is secured, attached.

Das Rad 2 und die weiteren beweglichen Teile der Radauflängung befinden sich somit über der Wasserlinie 14.The wheel 2 and the other moving parts of the wheel suspension are located is thus above the water line 14.
