AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a protection device that helps prevent missiles and splinters from causing damage. The device is designed to improve its effectiveness and make it easy to access.

Problems solved by technology

A problem is that the lower portion of the vehicle in connection to tracks / wheels remains unprotected.
Such a solution is relatively clumsy and heavy and risks obstructing accessibility of the vehicle due to the heavy and rigid cylinders, which also risk colliding with each other.
This type of solution also gives stresses in joints and these will thus to a greater extent be torn off during drive in difficult terrain and therefore causes damages to the remaining protection.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]FIG. 1a-d schematically show different view of a protection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0033]The protection member 1 is intended to be comprised in a drapery configuration of a protection device for protection against missiles, which drapery configuration is constituted by a set of protection member 1 arranged in connection to the lower portion of the vehicle at least along the respective vehicle side to a position close to the ground at a distance from each other hanging down.

[0034]The protection member 1 has an elongated rod-like configuration with an upper end 10 and a lower end 12.

[0035]In the upper end 10 of the protection member 1 a fastening member 20 in the shape of a cable clip 20 is arranged for attaching the protection member 1 in connection to the vehicle. According to a variant the cable clip configuration 20 is arranged to be attached to a rail arranged along the lower portion of the respective side of the vehicle, wherein the prot...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a protection device for a military vehicle comprising in a drapery configuration at least along the respective vehicle side arranged to a position close to the ground hanging down discrete protection members for protection against projectiles, wherein said discrete protection members comprise a wire element, wherein said wire elements are arranged at a distance from each other. The present invention also relates to a protection device and a vehicle.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to a protection device for protection against so called RSV-grenades according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Light and heavy armoured military vehicles, non armoured military vehicles and civilian vehicles and other objects being in areas subjected to warfare risk being exposed to armoured bulkhead by means of grenades with directional explosive strength, so called RSV-grenades or RPGs (Rocket Propelled Grenades).[0003]There are different ways of protecting oneself against RSV-grenades. One way of protecting oneself against RSV-grenades is to provide such vehicles with protection devices comprising a grid configuration with profile element arranged to affect the electric detonation release arrangement of such a grenade by means of short-circuiting. A problem is that the lower portion of the vehicle in connection to tracks / wheels remains unprotected.[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 2,625,859...
