CA 2176382

The proposed container (1) can be folded into a compact packet, mounted on its own wheels (2) and towed as a trailer or converted into a support on an air cushion or a support for a vehicle (3) on an air cushion. The container (1) comprises: foilding hinged panel units comprising core '(10) and peripheral (11- 14) sections; a flexible inflatable skirt (5) enclosing the air cushion; linkage elements (8, 9) between the vehicle (3) and the core sections; and propeller/pressuriser units ( 6) and a steering system (7). The lower part of the panel sections is covered by an elastic airtight film material (33, 34) to form the chamber (35) of the flexible skirt and air cushion (37). The longitudinal (19) and transverse (20) beams of the core sections are interconnected by elastically resilient linkage elements (21), thereby allowing the beams a limited degree of relative movement so that they can partially follow changes in relief when the container is conveyed on the air cushion support.

Le conteneur (1) proposé peut être plié pour prendre la forme d'un paquet compact, monté sur ses propres roues (2) et remorqué comme une remorque ou transformé en un support sur coussin d'air ou un support pour véhicule (3) sur coussin d'air. Le conteneur (1) comprend: des panneaux articulés pliables unitaires comprenant des parties centrales (10) et périphériques (11-14), une jupe souple gonflable (5) renfermant le coussin d'air, des éléments de liaison (8, 9) entre le véhicule (3) et les parties centrales, ainsi que des unités de propulsion/mise sous pression (6) et un système de gouverne (7). La partie inférieure des parties sous forme de panneaux est recouverte d'une matière élastique (33, 34) en couche mince étanche à l'air afin de former la chambre (35) de la jupe souple et du coussin d'air (37). Les longerons longitudinaux (19) et transversaux (20) des parties centrales sont reliés mutuellement par des éléments de liaison (21) souples élastiquement, permettant ainsi auxdits longerons un certain degré de mouvement relatif de manière qu'ils puissent suivre partiellement les changements de relief lorsque le conteneur est transporté sur le support à coussin d'air.
