Abstract
A completely transparent spherical body is surrounded externally by a plurality of leaf plates arranged in equal spacing along a main outer ring rack of the spherical body. Two rubber tires are included to wrap the spherical body. A rider inside the spherical body pedals to rotate the spherical body forward. A vehicle having the spherical body can be autonomously operated to move on land or water, and in the air. In addition, to operate this vehicle, no specific road or environmental requirement is needed, and no other obstacle, even a traffic accident can stop its movement.
Claims7
A multi-functional vehicle operable under multi-terrain conditions, comprising:
- a spherical body, wherein said spherical body is transparent;
- two rubber tires circumferentially wrapped on an exterior of said spherical body;
- an outer ring rack externally furnished on said spherical body, positioned between said two rubber tires, wherein said outer ring rack comprises a plurality of grooves, and said outer ring rack rotates in unison with said spherical body;
- a plurality of solid balls, each positioned inside and configured to slide along a corresponding one of said plurality of grooves;
- and
- a plurality of leaf plates, each pivotally attached to an exterior of said outer ring rack at a corresponding plurality of root positions;
- wherein said corresponding plurality of root positions are equally-spaced around the outer ring rack;
- wherein one end of one of said plurality of grooves is adjacent to one of said corresponding root positions;
- wherein when each said solid ball sliding within said corresponding one of said plurality of grooves becomes adjacent to said one of said corresponding root positions and contacts a corresponding one of said plurality of leaf plates, said corresponding one of said plurality of leaf plates fully extends away from said outer ring rack and spherical body.
A multi-functional vehicle operable under multi-terrain conditions, comprising:
- a transparent spherical body;
- two rubber tires circumferentially attached to an exterior of said spherical body;
- an outer ring rack positioned between said two rubber tires, externally furnished on said exterior of said spherical body and rotating in unison with said two rubber tires and said spherical body;
- a plurality of solid balls;
- a plurality of grooves in the outer ring rack, each accommodating a corresponding one of the plurality of solid balls sliding within;
- and
- a plurality of leaf plates, each pivotally attached on an exterior of said outer ring rack at a corresponding plurality of root positions;
- wherein said plurality of leaf plates and said corresponding plurality of root positions are uniformly spaced on said outer ring rack;
- wherein each of said plurality of grooves is positioned adjacent to one of said corresponding root positions, such that when each solid ball sliding within a corresponding one of said plurality of grooves becomes adjacent to said one of said corresponding root positions and contacts a corresponding one of said plurality of leaf plates, said corresponding one of said plurality of leaf plates fully extends away from said outer ring rack and spherical body.
