Caterpillar vehicle

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To obtain an arbitrary riding position by supporting a handle in such a manner as to oscillate vertically and forming a flat floor in such a manner as to long in front and in rear in a snow vehicle or the like constructed so that a ski steered by a handle is supported on the front, and an endless belt driving device is provided on the rear. CONSTITUTION:A flat floor 1 is installed on a car body in the longitudinal direction, and the front of the floor 1 is formed as a yoked portion 1b along the lower periphery of a tank cover 3a in such a manner as to go round the sides thereof. A comparatively wide ski 5 is supported through a front suspension 6 below a front cover 3 of the front of the car body for covering a power portion such as an engine or the like, and the front suspension 6 is connected to a handle 8 through a swing arm 7. The swing arm 7 is supported in such a manner as to oscillate vertically within a vertically plane parallel to the longitudinal direction of the car body. An endless belt driving device 18 is installed through a pair of brackets 16 under the middle portion of a frame 2, and driven to rotate through a chain or the like by the power of the engine.
