FAST INSTALLING SELF-PROPELLED PONTOON BRIDGE
The invention is about fast installing self-propelled pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge consists of the entrance vehicle (A-1), vehicle-floats (A-2) connecting the entrance vehicle and the exit vehicle of the bridge (A-3). The anchoring vehicle (A-4) is to moor the bridge to the river bed when installing/uninstalling the bridge. The bodies of the portions are main floats; the vehicles are designed in a way that they can both move on the ground and in the water. For parts associated with moving on the ground, the conventional axles are replaced by the wheels directly driven by hydraulic motors (1). The vehicles' structures are modified to fit new operation methods. The vehicles act as joints. The vehicles are designed for straight line connection; and, the “soft” connecting is carried out before entering the water. Each vehicle can cross the river by itself. Once the exit vehicle of the bridge is approaching the opposite river bank, all the vehicles are connected. Due to the novelty design, the installing/uninstalling required a person, in the cab, for each vehicle; and much less time consumed.
