An uneven ground vehicle comprises a plurality of running means each having a support frame for supporting wheels, tires, crawlers or the like. Each support frame is connected to the body of the vehicle so as to be swingable in the front and rear direction of the vehicle whereby the wheels, crawlers or the like can continue to contact a ground surface even when the vehicle runs on an uneven ground.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of this invention to provide an uneven ground vehicle in which a plurality of wheels, tires or crawlers or the like can always contact a ground surface without floatation or separation of a part of the body of the vehicle from a ground surface even when the vehicle runs on an extremely uneven ground thereby to ensure a sufficient tractive force and stable running and in which an inclination angle of the body of the vehicle can be decreased as compared with a conventional vehicle when the vehicle passes over a raised or projected ground.
According to this invention, there is provided an uneven ground vehicle suitable for running on an uneven ground, which comprises: a body; and a plurality of running means each having a support frame for supporting wheels, tires crawler or the like, the running means being provided on two front and rear portions of the body in such a manner that a support frame of each running means is swingable in the front and rear direction of the vehicle.
The nature, utility, and further features of this invention will be more clearly apparent from the following detailed description with respect to preferred embodiments of the invention when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, briefly described below.
