Panaerungsvorrj icht

The invention relates to an armoring device, in which between two plates one made of metal wires Upholstery arranged iot.

Metal armor plates are already known, which are used to catch projectiles fired at great speed to serve. These. Armor plates have to be very thick no, which is common a high weight results in · a high gov / ioht is especially disadvantageous if the panels are attached to vehicles be arranged. It should also be remembered that modern weapons with a caliber of 20nnn bullets are made of special steel rait ainer speed in the order of ISOOm / seo. can shoot, which also penetrate high-quality armor with a thickness aahr than 160tdid.

At elnam already known bullet trap are steel chips or the like. between two walls made of, for example, Sperrhdz arranged. The disadvantage here is that the entire bullet trap only a relatively low braking force exerts on the projectiles entering, which has no protective effect Wound and the filling with steel shavings back up is.

The invention avoids the disadvantages known of Panaerplatteneinriobtungen and particularly pays attention to an armoring device before which, with simple presentation methods, an optimal Protection enables ο

For this purpose iofc ganüß.cer invention; in the case of an 'armouring device, ^ which between two plates made of metal wires existing cushion is arranged, provided - that each of the together the cushions forming the upholstery in the direction of the light together form the cushion in the longitudinal direction consists of rolled up ribbons knitted from metal wires, and that Kiaon with her Wickelaohae vertically au the Plates arranged and connected to one another to form üa-3 cushions are α

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the ribbons by flattening ring / vestrickber wire jackets are formed and that the bandar is also formed corrugated are. There is a preferred further development of the invention in that, the individual pillows by parallel su the Plates running wires are held together.

Another preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the cushions are pressed together in a perpendicular direction to the plates State arranged between these oirxd.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, this is done the cushions produced by means of the Mefcall ^ ewebe are arranged in such a way that that the fabric belts are arranged in planes which are perpendicular to the steel plates. The metal mesh belts are preferably embossed, i.e. corrugated in a direction inclined with respect to the surface of the armor.

Further advantages and details of the invention are given from the description of an exemplary embodiment using the Drawing, in this show

Pig. 2 and 3 the corresponding positions in section the steel plates and the cleo made of metal holes Tissue before and after union;

Pig. 4 shows, in a perspective view and partially broken away, a composite armor according to FIG Invention.

As shown in the drawing, there is an armor set according to the invention by means of two steel plates 1 and 2 between which a series of KiouGn 3 geite at part; are arranged to produce} these Kiooan are preferably pressed against each other by the pre-excavation of the EWe ^-1 fuselage plates 1 and 2 BUflanmongo.

In Fig. 2 the different components are assembled Armor shown before the unification, namely the upper plate 1, the lower plate 2 and also the gravel 2. By comparing the respective thickness dea Kiseens 3 in Pig. 2 (before unification) and in? Ig. 3 (near the association) that the thickness is the kiosk 3 noticeable through the zupanm ^ ndri'.jkea between plates 1 and 2 decreases t.at.

C-according to a preferred embodiment of the invention mannaif the side -ier armor to accommodate the dao projectile should, the one S! ah) plate that has the greater resistance cries and consequently the strongest obstacle for the projectile biläpt.

by, in turn, made of a sheet of a certain thickness Replace the existing cabin of the vehicle while the other steel plate 1 arranged on the outside of the vehicle is formed by an armor plate of greater thickness will.

In the example described, there are gravel 3 aue fabrics made by knitting steel wires with low you? 'chmosser receives, with this Cowebe directly as bands with a thickness corresponding to the thickness of the Kiosoan Wide or with the fabrics folded over each other to form ribbons of the appropriate thickness, among other things.

The metal mesh obtained in this way and preferably embossed (patterned), i.e. they become permanent donor corrugations subject to the parallel to a preferably bezüglioh according to the longitudinal direction of the eur manufacture of the cushion the tape used in the invention run inclined. That on the band of metal mesh obtained from catfish described above is then placed one on top of the other to form a cushion, which in the example shown in the newspaper is rectangular; the pillow can just as well have a different shape, for example it can be square, be triangular or polygonal. The fabric tape 4 folded in this way, which has a profile that is described in Pig. Can be seen clearly, is stapled together by means of a metal wire 5, which alternates from one side of the pebble runs to the other to hold the metal mesh band together.

To form armor according to the invention, begin with lining the surface of the first armor plate with the cushions just described by touching the side Side anord; i3t. Then the other armor plate is put on and with any facilities (not included in the

S0988 /./ 026 5

Drawing) one guides the plates with force on top of each other to create a certain elastic pinch to reach the pillow.

The armor plate obtained in this way has at gleiohem Weight like a conventional plate has a considerably increased hold-up capacity, with the projectiles, welohe have pierced the outer armor plate, through which the metal fabric cushions are considerably braked before they if necessary, hit the second, inner plate ..

The invention is not limited by the exemplary embodiment described, rather there are many exemplary embodiments conceivable without leaving the scope of the invention «

In particular, composite armor can be provided according to the invention, in which between aufeι successive steel plates material / fus metal fibers are arranged.

Furthermore, those are arranged between the two plates gravel consisting of metal fibers in a manner other than that described above, and in particular also by means of another process (than knitting).

Finally, without departing from the scope of the invention, the composite armor can be made of other materials al ε steel exist, and this applies to both the plates themselves as auoh for the fiber material separating them,
