STACKING CONTAINER FOR AMMUNITION

Abstract

This utility model relates to the storage and transportation of ammunition, specifically to polystyrene stackable containers. A novel feature of the proposed technical solution for stackable ammunition containers is that the base and lid are comprised of polystyrene inserts containing compartments tailored to the dimensions of specific ammunition types, allowing for the required quantity of items to be accommodated and preventing movement within the container. The base and lid are connected by at least two straps (ties) secured to the base with clamps to ensure tight packaging and sealing pins that pass through the base and lid, and with tightening nuts. At least one carrying handle is attached to the straps (ties). The base has stacking elements, and the lid has slots for the stacking elements.The inner base has a flange around the perimeter, and the inner lid has a recess for the flange to securely attach the base and lid together and ensure a watertight seal. This design allows for the storage of a larger quantity and variety of ammunition, and prevents the container from shifting or accidentally falling during storage and transportation. Theoretical studies conducted during the development of the proposed utility model confirmed that, under current conditions, the proposed technical solution performs approximately three times better in terms of key performance characteristics and the "combat effectiveness vs. cost" evaluation criterion than existing analogues.

Description

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of storage and transportation of ammunition, in particular to polystyrene containers for stacking.

[0002] A device for storing and transporting ammunition and missiles is known (patent RU No. 199714 U1, F42B 39 / 22), consisting of cases for placing ammunition and missiles in them, connected by a collapsible frame of two multi-cell frames and two ties, the cases have lids on opposite sides and insertable lodgements consisting of elements that ensure the fixation of ammunition and missiles in the case.

[0003] The disadvantage of this device is the placement and fixation of shots and anti-tank guided missiles of a certain size for self-propelled artillery and armored vehicles, naval artillery installations, thus, the placement of engineering ammunition in the specified device is impossible.

[0004] The prototype of the proposed utility model is a reusable container for storing and transporting ammunition (RU Patent No. 2596381, F42B 39 / 22), comprising a lid, a base, a locking element, and a carrying handle. The base and lid consist of two separate, semi-cylindrical compartments rigidly connected in a horizontal plane by rectangular rims with stacking elements. To separately accommodate the projectile and charge within the container, two separate cavities are formed within the first semi-cylindrical compartment, and a single cavity is formed within the second semi-cylindrical compartment.

[0005] The disadvantage of this prototype is the small amount of loaded ammunition, which is impractical for resupplying ammunition, as well as when performing tasks to mine the area.

[0006] The technical objective of the proposed utility model is to create a container for stacking ammunition, used for various types of ammunition, and to increase the capacity of ammunition in a container for stacking.

[0007] The technical result of the proposed utility model is to improve the safety of storage and transportation of ammunition.

[0008] The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the container for stacking ammunition, including a base and a lid, is characterized in that the base and lid are represented by polystyrene inserts, in which there are compartments made for the sizes of certain types of ammunition, for placing the required number of items and preventing their movement inside the container.

[0009] There is an option in which the base and the lid of the ammunition stacking container are connected by at least two straps (ties) secured with staples on the base to ensure the tightness of the packaging and two pins for sealing the container, passing through the base and the lid and tightened with nuts.

[0010] There is also an option in which at least one carrying handle is attached to the belts (ties) on the container for stacking ammunition.

[0011] There is a variant in which the container for stacking ammunition has stacking elements on the base, and grooves for stacking elements on the lid.

[0012] There is also a variant in which there is a flange around the perimeter on the inner side of the base, and on the inner side of the lid there is a recess for the flange to securely fix the base and lid together and ensure the container is airtight.

[0013] The essence of the proposed technical solution is explained by the following images:

[0014] Fig. 1 shows a container for stacking - front view;

[0015] Fig. 2 shows a container for stacking - top view;

[0016] Fig. 3 shows the base and the lid with a flange - front view.

[0017] Fig. 4 shows the stacking of containers for stacking.

[0018] The container for stacking ammunition consists of a base 1 (Fig. 1) and a cover 2, represented by polystyrene inserts, in which there are compartments made to the dimensions of certain types of ammunition, to accommodate the required number of items and prevent their movement inside the container.

[0019] Base 1 (Fig. 1) and lid 2 are connected by at least two belts (ties) 3, secured with staples on base 1 to ensure the tightness of the packaging and pins 4 for sealing the container, passing through base 1 and lid 2 and tightened with nuts 5.

[0020] At least one carrying handle 6 (Fig. 2) is attached to the straps (ties) 3 (Fig. 1).

[0021] On the base 1 (Fig. 1) there are stacking elements 7, and on the cover 2 there are grooves for stacking elements 8 (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).

[0022] On the inner side of the base 1 (Fig. 3) there is a flange 9 along the perimeter, and on the inner side of the lid 2 there is a recess for the flange 10 for securely fixing the base and the lid together and ensuring the tightness of the container.

[0023] The ammunition and its components are placed in separate compartments in the base of the ammunition stacking container. The base is covered with a lid, which has similar compartments to ensure tight packing of the ammunition within the container, as well as a recess for the flange, which ensures a secure fit between the base and lid, as well as a watertight seal. To prevent horizontal movement of the lid relative to the base, the lid and base are made of asymmetrical polystyrene inserts. The base and lid are secured with straps (tie rods) located in small recesses on the base and lid and fastened with clamps to the base. A carrying handle is threaded through the straps and secured. A pin is inserted into the openings of the base and lid and tightened with a nut to ensure tight packing. A wire is pulled through the hole in the pin, and the container is sealed.When placing containers in a stack, each subsequent container is placed with stacking elements into the grooves of the previous container.

[0024] Manufacturing stackable containers from polystyrene liners increases their service life due to their strength, resistance to rot and corrosion, resistance to mechanical stress and aggressive environments, and resistance to wear and damage. These containers are constructed using cost-effective materials that are comparatively lightweight compared to containers made from other materials (wood, metal, plastic).

[0025] The ammunition stacking container ensures reliable fixation of ammunition inside the container, dust and moisture protection of ammunition, stable placement in a stack, the possibility of sealing, transportation by all types of transport, multiple use.

[0026] The presence of stacking elements and slots for stacking elements on the container allows for the storage and transportation of containers, preventing them from moving or accidentally falling.

[0027] The ammunition stacking container allows for the storage of larger quantities and types of ammunition.
