Method of expanding and contracting the habitable space of a vehicle, means for implementing this method and vehicles equipped with these means

摘要

The invention relates to a method for expanding and contracting the habitable space of a vehicle, to the means for the purpose of implementing this method and to the vehicles equipped with these means. This method is characterised in that: - the floor of the basic space is associated with the chassis 2 of the vehicle by lifting means 56 and after having caused the expansion of the habitable space so that there is no more extension overhanging the said fraction; - these lifting means are actuated vertically until the fraction 118 called the mobile floor comes to the level of the floor of the extensions; then - the mobile floor 118 is locked vertically especially with respect to the floor of any extension which adjoins it. Application to the industry of vehicles with a habitable space. <IMAGE>
