Abstract
The equipment described herein is a front mounted frame designed to be attached to a military vehicle. It is used to detonate explosives device before the military equipment comes in contact with the IED and explodes. It is expected that severe damage will be inflicted on the IED Roller upon contact with the explosive, thereby preventing damage to the tank, APC or Hummer and personnel inside. Two axles equipped with solid rubber tires will cover the entire width of the military vehicle.
Each tire will be mounted on independent suspension to facilitate complete coverage of the road in front of the vehicle. The independent suspension system will prevent the IED Roller from interference from the ground. A cable system connected to the frame of the IED Roller and the vehicle will prevent the roller from being pushed upward by the explosion and contacting the vehicle. A quick release system enables the Roller to be disconnected and left at the scene of the explosion if necessary. An electric over hydraulic system will control the steering. A joystick inside the vehicle will be used to steer the IED Roller.

Description
{
Background In general mine rollers have been developed to detonate mines placed in the terrain by enemy forces. The fields of mines are used to slow or stop the free movement of troops. The military is currently operating in theatres where improvised devices are being built and located on travelled roadways where they are detonated by military equipment and personnel. The IED Roller will facilitate the detonation of the mines by a solid rubber tire travelling over the mine. Each of the tires have independent suspension with an ability to travel vertically 400 mm. This will reduce the possibility of the IED Roller being made inoperable on rough terrain. The independent suspension will also ensure that complete contact is made with the entire surface of ground in front of the vehicle. The frame of the Roller consists of steel tube sections and a 25 mm steel plate on top of the frame. The bottom of each tire will exert 29 kPa which approximates the force from a man's foot on the ground. The axnount of force can be increased by adding a thicker steel plate to the frame, or reduced by replacing the 25 mm plate with thinner plate. The connection to the military vehicle is achieved by a pin system with a quick release mechanism that will facilitate the quick removal of an IED Roller that is too damaged to continue operating. The number of tires can by increased or decreased depending on the width of the frame required. The ability to increase the width will ensure that the IED
i Roller can be retrofitted in the future to be used for mine clearing operations as opposed to road travelling operations.
Summary Description of the drawings The Roller connection to the vehicle consists of a parallel set of brackets welded to the vehicle frame. The Roller arms extend back from the Roller frame to the vehicle.
A pin is used to hold the Roller arms to the vehicle body. The pinned connection allows enough freedom of movement so the Roller can be steered by the vehicle operator. The frame of the roller is constructed from steel tube sections. The frame is cross braced to prevent raking by diagonal members and steel plate bolted to the top of the frame. The wheel system is welded to the front of the frame assembly and independent suspension for each wheel allows for the wheels to travel vertically and contact the ground fully. An electric over hydraulic system controls each wheel by joystick allowing for the steering control of the Roller. Two rows of wheels are installed to cover the ground completely in front of the vehicle. The wheels are solid rubber on a steel axle.
A steel cable is welded to the front of the frame and to the rear bottom of the vehicle frame. A violent explosion will cause the Roller to launch upwards but the cable system will prevent the Roller from contacting and damaging the vehicle. In the event of an extremely large explosion causing the cable to fail a steel tube section is connected to the vehicle. This will prevent the Roller from damaging the vehicle.
I wish to claim an IED Roller but not be limited to the exact details of the various constructions show and described herein because modifications may be required without departing from the scope of the following claim.
