Abstract
An apparatus for adding a propulsion wheel to a land based vehicle. When the apparatus is attached to a land based vehicle the apparatus is operationally configured to bias a propulsion wheel attached thereto to a position of engagement with a travel surface supporting the land based vehicle thereon.
Claims11
An apparatus for adding a propulsion wheel to a land based vehicle effective to move across a travel surface, when attached to the land based vehicle the apparatus is operationally configured to bias a propulsion wheel attached to the apparatus in an engagement position with the travel surface.
An apparatus for adding a propulsion wheel to a land based vehicle effective to move across a travel surface, when attached to the land based vehicle the apparatus is operationally configured to adjust the amount of bias applied by a propulsion wheel attached to the apparatus against the travel surface.
A method of biasing a propulsion wheel against a travel surface of a land based vehicle, the method comprising the following steps:
- attaching to a land based vehicle an apparatus and propulsion wheel rotatably attached thereto, the apparatus having a biasing member for pivoting at least part of the apparatus about the land based vehicle in a manner effective to direct the propulsion wheel between one or more engagement positions and one or more disengagement positions with the travel surface;
- and
- directing the propulsion wheel to a first biased position against the travel surface.
