Self engaging paddle track

Abstract

The present invention relates to amphibian vehicles, more particularly to track paddling propulsion. The present application is a copy of drawings submitted as a provisional patent title name paddle track; application no. 61/131,473 filing date Jun. 9, 2008, confirmation no. 7119. The object of the invention is to provide a novel means of amphibian locomotion via self-engaging paddles. The self engaging paddle track apparatus can be utilized on a single floater for use as a water cycle or a vessel floater having paddle tracks on opposite sides (port and starboard) for any amphibian use desired. Locomotion power is either pedaling or motor. In essence this apparatus is to provide a means of locomotion for any type of amphibian or water bound locomotion.

1 . What we claim as our invention is there is no other engaging mechanical mechanism required, the self-engaging paddle engages via water pressure. As the leading edge of the track rotates and engages the water, the paddle is forced to a perpendicular position for water locomotion. After researching the related art described herein, we are not able to see any other self-engaging paddle track system of the same operation from either the drawings or written claim of reviewed inventions.
