Patent

CA 2354229

An amphibious vehicle having inflatable pontoons disposed in recesses formed in the vehicle body. The inflatable pontoons retract into the recesses when deflated to reduce the overall width of the vehicle to below the maximum allowable width for a road vehicle. The inflatable pontoons extend when inflated to beyond the maximum allowable width for road vehicles, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle when it is operated in water. The inside surfaces of the recesses provide support for transferring the uplift force generated by the pontoons to the vehicle body when in water. An elastic member may be used to retract the deflated pontoons into the recess. Decorative doors covering the recesses are forced open by the inflating pontoons to a position above the water line.
