Abstract

An apparatus is proposed for protecting the crew 20 of an armoured vehicle from mines by providing an intermediate floor 4 above the vehicle floor 1, wherein the intermediate floor 4 may be lowered e.g. when the vehicle is stationary so that, for climbing out and sitting up, the crew is not adversely affected by a reduced internal clearance height.

Claims (13)

1. Apparatus for protecting against the shock effect of a land mine particularly for the crew of an armoured vehicle by means of attachment of protective elements to the vehicle floor, characterized in that a vertically adjustable intermediate floor (4) is fastened above the vehicle floor (1) to fastening points (2) on the side walls (20) of a vehicle inner compartment (21), wherein from case to case a distance (22) between vehicle floor and intermediate floor or, in a second setting, a "zero" distance (22) is adjustable.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1 characterized in that the vertical adjustment of the intermediate floor (4) is adjustable alternately between the two raised and lowered operating positions and said vertical adjustment may be linked to other functions such as tailgate open/closed.
3. Apparatus according to claim 1 and 2 characterized in that the intermediate floor (4) by means of elastic constituents or structures in its construction and by means of applying tensile force at lateral fastening points (2) is adjustable into a "raised" operating position preferably through tensioning in order to achieve a compartment clearance height (12) in the vehicle inner compartment.
4. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 3 characterized in that the intermediate floor (4) by means of removing the tensile force at lateral fastening points (2) is capable of swivelling away so that it rests on the vehicle floor (1) in a "lowered" operating position with a greater compartment clearance height (13) in the vehicle inner compartment.
5. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 4 characterized in that the anti-mine effect and hence the adjustment of the intermediate floor (4) into "raised" position is automatically provided and need not be brought about by manual intervention of the operator.
6. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 5 characterized in that the elastic structure or the material of the intermediate floor (4) affords protection against high temperatures and/or vibrations.
7. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 6 characterized in that separate footrests (8) or further additional elements (15) may be mounted on the intermediate floor (4) so as to be decoupled from the vehicle floor (1) in order to enable optimum adaptation for different ergonomic sizes and hence ergonomically more advantageous seating positions for a crew.
8. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 7 characterized in that by means of an air supply (10) and openings (18) in the intermediate floor (4) ventilation and deventilation as well as heating and cooling are possible in the vehicle inner compartment (21).
9. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 8 characterized in that by using translucent material for the intermediate floor (4), preferably a material having a mash structure, indirect illumination (9) of the vehicle inner compartment (21) from below is possible through the intermediate floor (4).
10. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 9 characterized in that the intermediate floor (4) also affords protection against so-called overmatch danger, such as e.g. simultaneous protection in the event of explosion of two mines.
11. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 10 characterized in that the intermediate floor (4) through the use of suitable material for its manufacture and/or by means of adaptation or integration of suitable additional components in the intermediate floor additionally has the effect of intercepting fragments of the vehicle floor (1), so-called secondary fragments, in the event of explosion of a mine or of narrowing the fragment cone in the event of the action of hollow-charge mines upon the vehicle floor and hence affords protection against fragments.
12. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 11 characterized in that the protective apparatus is provided also at other surfaces (16, 19) inside or outside of a vehicle.
13. Apparatus according to one of claims 1 - 12 characterized in that the intermediate floor (4) is also suitable and usable for transporting shock-sensitive and highly sensitive appliances (11).
