Abstract:
A suspension system for an amphibious vehicle is able to be locked in either a lowered or in a retracted position according to whether the vehicle is on land or in water, respectively. The suspension system includes a main suspension arm pivoted to a vehicle hull at one end thereof and has a rotably mounted road wheel thereon at an opposite end thereof. A moving mechanism operably attached to the pivoted main suspension arm enables the arm and the road wheel to be retracted relative to the hull. An upper suspension link is operably and pivotally connected to the road wheel end of said main suspension arm and has a pivoted joint intermediate its ends. The upper suspension link is operably engagable with a suspension position locking mechanism in both the lowered and retracted positions.
