Definitions
- This invention relates to a novel load-supporting plank system that is particularly adapted for being rapidly deployed for the stream egress and bridge access/egress of military vehicles wherein improved means are provided for joining the individual planks to each other in a manner that water and mud penetration at the joints is effectively prohibited.
- the invention comprises a system of a plurality of planks joined together in an articulable fashion by flexible hinge members in such a way that the system may be folded in accordion or fan fashion that permits efficient packing in a container for transport and for rapid deployment.
- the planks are hollow extrusions of aluminum alloy fitted with end plugs, thereby permitting the system to be floatable.
- planks are folded in accordion fashion and packed in a pallet which preferably is constructed of closed tubular members, and therefore also floatable in water.
- the pallet is designed to be suspended in front of a deployment vehicle, and the planks are so deployed that the vehicle rides upon the surface of the plank members of the system as the planks are withdrawn from the pallet.
- the palletized planks may be deployed by other means, such as being manually levered from the pallet while the pallet is resting on the stream shore, and the surfacing will then float away from the pallet.
- Further embodiments of the invention include planks having a honeycomb core structure and also planks which utilize foam plastic instead of extrusions of aluminum. These embodiments are not sinkable.
- the Payne patent discloses a vehicle which is modified to lay wire mesh mats to be used as a landing field.
- this invention provides a novel, improved transportable modular assault egress and bridge access/egress surfacing or trackway system which is comprised of a plurality of rectangularly shaped planks, the edge of one of the long sides or dimensions of the rectangularly shaped plank members is provided with an elongated tongue member, while the edge of the other of said long sides is provided with a female portion which is interengageable with the tongue member of the adjacent or contiguous plank member.
- Flexible hinge members join adjacent plank members in order that the plurality of planks of the surfacing may be folded accordion or fan style.
- a flexible hinge member is adapted to be readily connectible to said adjacent planks when the planks lie in intersecting planes while the hinge members will prevent the penetration of water in either direction and prevent the pumping of mud during traverse of the surfacing by vehicles when the planks lie in substantially the same plane.
- the mud pumping would be caused by penetration of water through the joints of the system or the presence of water in the soil beneath the system, thereby causing a hydraulic or pumping action forcing soil out from under.the system through the joints when the surfacing system is traversed by vehicles.
- One advantageous embodiment of the invention is a plurality of planks formed of aluminum extrusion sections wherein parallel hollow conduit portions extend the length of the long dimension of the rectangularly shaped planks, the surfacing being either floatable or sinkable, depending upon the use of suitable removable plug or sealing members for plugging the parallel hollow conduit portions, and a floatable tubular pallet member for storing and transporting the surfacing, while the planks are in a folded manner in a locked position, as well as means for unlocking said surfacing and rapidly deploying said plurality of planks of said surfacing.
- Other embodiments of the invention concern the use of a honeycomb core construction or a foamed plastic for the body of the rectangularly shaped planks. These embodiments are floatable and would be suitable for access roadways.
- the surfacing system 10 is comprised of a plurality of planks 12, which are made from an aluminum alloy extrusion, which is provided with a plurality of hollow conduit sections 14.
- a suitable aluminum alloy composition for this application is 6061 in the T6 temper.
- Each extruded plank 12 on the edge of the long side or dimension thereof is provided with a male or tongue portion 16, while the edge of the other long side of said elongated plank member 12 is provided with a female portion 18.
- the male portion 16 of plank member 12 is interengageable with the female member of an adjacent plank.
- Flexible hinge members 24 which are made of a mildew and weather resistant synthetic elastomer fabric base joins the adjacent plank members through the bulb members 26 on the hinge member, one of the bulb members passing through the passage 20 on the male portion of a plank, while the other of the bulb members passes through passage 22 on the female portion of the adjacent plank.
- Hinge members 24 are alternately on the top and bottom surfaces of the surfacing system 10, thereby permitting the surfacing system 10 to be folded accordion (fan) fashion as shown in Figure 5 for storing, transporting and dispensing.
- the bulb members of hinge members 24 are readily installed in passages 20 and 22 when the adjacent planks to be joined lie in intersecting planes.
- Extruded rib members 28 are integral with the bottom and top surfaces of the plank members and may be notched or cross-cut with grooves 30, as shown, for exemplary purposes, in some of the ribs 28 of Figure 1 for ensuring traction of the vehicles. Spades 32, as shown in Figures 3 and 5, are provided at the leading plank section and the ending plank section of the surfacing system 10.
- the spades 32 are oriented to provide lateral and horizontal resistance when embedded in the subsoil and are adapted to collapse if the system at the end sections is placed on very solid ground, such as hardpan. Also provided on the surfacing system 10 are support lugs 34, shown in Figures 3 and 4, which provide support for the surfacing system 10 during storing, transporting and dispensing.
- Figure 13 shows a modified plank 12 of an aluminum extrusion.
- the essential distinction between the plank of Figure 13 and that shown in Figures 1 and 3 is that the hollow conduits of Figure 13 are triangular in cross section rather than rectangular.
- the triangular webs of the plank 12 of Figure 13 render the plank more resistant to bending across the transverse dimension of the plank than the plank 12 of Figures 1 and 3.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic drawing showing an assault vehicle 40 egressing from a stream 42 while laying the surfacing system 10 upon a bank 44.
- a tubular pallet 60 is transported by the assault vehicle 40 by means of A-frame 46 mounted on the assault vehicle 40 and a sling 50.
- a bar member 48 prevents the pallet from swinging into the assault vehicle 40 and also keeps the orientation of the tubular pallet member 60 in the proper position for dispensing the surfacing or trackway system 10.
- the flexible hinge members 24 prevent water from penetrating through the surfacing system 10 to the soil of the bank 44, thereby preventing water from settling under the planks 12. In the case of a saturated subsoil, it prevents a hydraulic pumping action that forces a mud slurry up from under L he planks i2 and through the joints during the traverse of the assault vehicle 40.
- the waterproofing prevents the California Bearing Ratio (CBR), hereinafter defined, from being reduced, the subgrade from being excavated by water erosion and the soil from being displaced after being softened by water intrusion.
- CBR California Bearing Ratio
- the surfacing system 10 may be of any suitable number of plank members 12; for example, a typical surfacing system for egressing from a stream would be one of about 50 or more feet in length.
- the width of the surfacing 10 (length of a plank 12) may be, for example, 10 to 20 feet.
- the plank width may vary from about 1 foot to 4 feet.
- the wider surfacing would be used for handling the heaviest vehicles, such as the heavy assault tanks which may have a gross weight of 80 short tons or more,
- Figures 7A and 7B disclose a closure . 52 which is of a configuration that may be used to plug the open ends of the hollow conduits 14 of the extruded plank members 12.
- the closure 52 may be made from either plastic or rubber, and a sealant may be used for ensuring an adequate plugging of the hollow conduits 14.
- the closure is made to conform to the end configuration of a single plank member 12.
- the hollow conduits adjacent the male portion or end 16, and the female portion or end 18 of a plank 12 may be permanently sealed, in which case the closure 52 would be of a length to plug the balance of the hollow conduits 14.
- the closure 52 is designed to accommodate the support lugs 34.
- closure member 52 On one end of the closure member 52 is a wire with a spring lock attached thereto while the other end has joined thereon a flexible metal cable 58 with a loop formed at the end thereof.
- the closure members 52 when installed on the plank members, are interconnected with the adjacent closure members through means of the bail 54 and spring lock 56 being connected to the flexible steel cable 58 of the adjacent closure member of the adjacent plank member 12.
- the surfacing or trackway system 10 When the closure members 52 are in.place, the surfacing or trackway system 10 will float, and when the closure members 52 are removed by pulling a suitable lanyard (not shown), the interconnected closures 52 will be progressively stripped, and the surfacing or trackway system 10 will sink. It is obvious that only a portion of the interconnected closure units may be stripped if it is desired that only a partial portion of the surfacing or trackway system 10 sinks into the water.
- FIG 8 which is a partial top plan view of adjacent plank members 12, and Figure 9, which is a partial perspective view with portions cut away, show one means to prevent the lateral shifting between planks 12 when assembled in the surfacing or trackway system.
- hinge retainers 57 are inserted into passages 20 and 22 of the male and female portions of adjacent planks 12 after the bulbs 26 of hinge member 24 have been inserted in said passages.
- the hinge retainers may be steel, self-tapping (threaded) hollow inserts which are threaded into the passages.
- a metal disk 59 Prior to insertion into a passage, a metal disk 59, preferably of aluminum, is inserted in the passage in a manner to abut a bulb 26 of a hinge member 24.
- the hinge retainers 57 are rather short in length, on the order of 5/8 inch, for example, the hinge member 24 need not be shortened to accommodate the hinge retainers. Inserting the hinge retainers 57 at each end of a passage 20 or 22 will compress, to a small extent, the hinge member 24. The simplicity of this means for preventing the lateral shifting between adjacent plank members is an important feature for the ease of replacement of hinge members in the field.
- Figure 10 is a top plan view of the tubular pallet 60
- Figure 11 is an end elevational view of the pallet.
- the tubular pallet 60 is a tubular aluminum framework, which is designed as a shipping, transporting and dispensing container from which the surfacing or trackway system 10 may be quickly deployed. Being of tubular structure, the pallet 60 will float in the water, and provides a stable structure to contain the surfacing or trackway system 10.
- the surfacing or trackway system 10 in its accordion-fashion, folded and packed position in the tubular pallet 60.
- Banding straps 62 hold the folded surfacing system 10 in position.
- the sling member 50 is shown in a packed position.
- the ends of the sling 50 are deployed into pad eyes 64, which are located at the corners of the pallet as shown in Figure 10.
- the pad eyes 64 are for lifting the pallet in its position for deploying of the surfacing 10.
- Pad eyes 66 are located on the side of the pallet 60 in order that the pallet may be lifted from that side in order to pick up for repacking the surfacing 10. This feature is important to allow repackaging for use at a different site and will be described later.
- Struts 68 are located on the open side of the pallet 60, that is, the side from which the surfacing or trackway system 10 is deployed.
- the struts 68 which are fastened to the tubular pallet 60 by suitable means, such as bolts (not shown), reinforce the inboard frames of the pallet 60 to resist loads imposed on the pallet when pallets are stacked for storage or shipping.
- FIG 11 the end elevational view of the pallet 60, shows support rails 70, which supply the support for lugs 34 of the trackway system 10.
- the bottom frame of the pallet 60 is a skid 72, which permits the pallet 60 to be dragged over the ground.
- Figure 12 is an end view of the pallet 60 similar to the view in Figure 11 except that the orientation of the pallet is such that the pallet 60 is suspended from a side by means of pad eyes 66 in order to permit a picking up of the trackway and repacking it in the pallet 60.
- a suitable latch mechanism 74 is positioned at opposite ends of the pallet 60, as shown in Figure 12, and is attached to tubular frame members of the pallet 60 by a suitable means.
- the latch mechanisms 74 permit the planks 12 of the surfacing or trackway system 10 to be picked up one at a time, and may be comprised of one or more spring-loaded latches permitting the latches to retract and extend as the tubular pallet 60 is moved downward to engage and pick up a plank 12 of the surfacing or trackway system 10.
- the procedure is as follows: the anchor or lead plank is folded back over the adjacent plank of the surfacing or trackway system.
- the struts 68 are removed from the pallet 60.
- the hoisting sling 50 is attached to the side of the tubular pallet 60, and the pallet is hoisted up and is positioned above the folded-back anchor plank so that the support rails 70 of the pallet 60 are aligned with the support lugs 34 on the anchor plank.
- the latch mechanisms 74 are released to permit the latches to extend.
- the pallet 60 is lowered and the support rails 70 are guided to slide around the lugs 34 on the planks 10.
- the latches will engage the ends of the planks 12.
- the ground may prevent the latch members 74 from engaging the planks; in this event, the pallet 60 is lifted, which, in turn, lifts the planks so that suitable blocks can be placed beneath the planks.
- the pallet 60 is again lowered to engage the next plank with the latch mechanism 74.
- the dirt that may adhere to the planks should be scraped off to prevent binding as the planks are folded into the stored position.
- the strut members 68 are replaced on the pallet and the latches are locked in the retracted position to make the pallet 60 ready for transport and deployment.
- auxiliary anchoring of the surfacing system 10 in addition to the spades 32 as shown in Figures 3 and 5, may be required.
- Suitable means such as, steel hooks 88 and the member 90 of Figure 15, are provided to serve as anchor points. Steel cables engaging said hooks 88 and members 90 and also engaging a suitable anchor (a tree or even an assault vehicle) would provide the additional anchoring of the surfacing system.
- the surfacing system of the invention is very effective in soft or muddy ground, such as is found in the banks of some rivers.
- the surfacing system is designed to efficiently support heavy vehicles over ground that has a CBR (California Bearing Ratio) of 1 or 2.
- the California Bearing Ratio is a scale for measuring the bearing strength of ground, ranging from 1 for very muddy, soft, soil to 100 for compacted crushed rock. (California Bearing Ratio is defined in "Soil Mechanics, Foundations, and Earth Structures" by Gregory P. Tschebotarioff, 1951, McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc.)
- the aluminum surfaces of the surfacing or trackway may be coated with a suitable nonskid paint for traction, as well as camouflage, and the other aluminum surfaces of the system, such as the pallet, may be coated with a paint of a suitable color for camouflage purposes.
- a suitable precoating procedure such as a chemical coating, or caustic etching, would be required.
- the finish coating may be anodizing of a suitable color.
- the adjacent planks 12 are joined along their long edges or sides by means of interengageable male and female portions, numbers 16 and 18, respectively, in Figures 1 and 2, and flexible hinge members 24.
- the position of the flexible hinges alternates from the top to the bottom of the surfacing on successive planks. This allows both tension loads and vertical shear loads to be reacted by adjacent planks.
- the locks which are provided to prevent shifting or lateral movement between adjacent planks 12, as shown in Figures 8, 9A, and 9B, do not affect the articulation of the joints.
- the joints between adjacent plank members 12 permit rotation of up to about 15° upward and up to about 15° downward while continuing to transfer shear between planks.
- the grooves or passages 20 and 22 for the bulb ends of the hinge members 24 are designed to carry the tension loads developed when heavy vehicles traverse steep slopes over weak subgrades.
- Figure 14 is a perspective view, with portions cut away, of a plank employing an adhesively bonded construction with a honeycomb core, extruded edges and face sheets, all of which are of aluminum alloy.
- the plank or panel which is considerably lighter than the plank made from aluminum extrusions, is buoyant in water and will not sink. Thus, it would not be applicable for use in a stream egress application, but it would have a distinct weight advantage over the extruded plank for the bridge access/ egress role.
- the bonded plank 76 is comprised of an extruded aluminum male portion 78, and an extruded aluminum female portion 80, together with a honeycomb core 82, which is sandwiched in between aluminum alloy sheets 84.
- Siderails 86 would extend along the outer surfaces between the extruded male portion 78 and the extruded female portion 80.
- the honeycomb material 82 is advantageously of an aluminum alloy, and is adhesively bonded, with a suitable adhesive, to the metal sheets 84, siderails 86, male portion 78, and the female portion 80.
- plastic foam could be the core material.
- FIGs 15 there is shown a scheme for joining the end planks or modules of two sections of the surfacing in order to extend the length of the surfacing wherein provisions are made to prevent water penetration and mud pumping through the joint between the two sections.
- the lead plank 12 of the section has welded thereto, on each side of the bottom of the plank, hooks 88, which are placed at each side of the female portion 18 of the plank.
- hooks 88 which are placed at each side of the female portion 18 of the plank.
- a member 90 On the end of the section ahead of the first- mentioned section, there is welded on the bottom of the last plank 12, on both sides thereof, a member 90, which has thereon a pin 92.
- a suitable sealing member may be a rubber tubular member having a plastic foam material inside the tube. This will preclude the penetration of water and also the pumping of mud.
- Figure 16 shows a fitting that is designed to join two planks of surfacing in situations where it is difficult or impractical to install the flex hinge. This situation would arise in the field when planks are replaced and it is impractical to orient the adjacent panels in the position required for the installation of the final connecting hinge.
- a fitting 96 which is comprised of two plate portions 98, which have a plurality of lugs 100 and 102 depending therefrom. The lugs 100 and 102 fit in a substantially snug manner in the hollow conduits 14 of the adjacent planks 12 to be joined.
- expanding lugs 102 have a bottom portion 104 which can be tightly secured in hollow conduits 14 when the bolts 106 are tightened.
- Trunnions 108 are suitably attached on either side of the plate body portions 98, and suitable holes therein are for engaging U-bolts 110.
- the U-bolts 110 are thus engaged and engage each other, as shown in the Figure 16, the U-bolts are tightened by nuts 112, and the joint between the adjacent planks 12 will be sealed when the male portion 16 is pressed against the seal 114, which is lodged in the groove of the female portion 18 of the adjacent plank.
- the seal herein can be the same, that is, any suitable sealing material, such as a rubber tube having a foam center or core.
- FIG 17 a scheme is shown for using the surfacing of the invention in a bridge access/egress situation.
- a suitable bridge 116 deployed across the river or stream 122 by any suitable means, such as pontoons.
- an egress surfacing section 118 In the foreground of the figure is an egress surfacing section 118, and on the other side of the stream is shown an access surfacing section 120.
- the sequence may be the placing of the access portion 120 down to the stream, whereafter the bridge 116 can be deployed. Then the egress section 118 can be deployed from the bridge up the bank.
- FIG 18 there is shown one scheme for deploying long lengths of the surfacing of the instant invention in a roadway.
- trucks 124 which have pallets 126 placed thereon; the surfacing would be hung by suitable hanger means in the pallets in lengths of three planks instead of one plank in the case of the pallet shown in Figures 10 and 11.
- the trucks 124 are parked side by side, and the sides of the pallet are removed in order that the surfacing 128 can be joined between the various pallets.
- the surfacing from the nearest truck 124 is connected to a winch 132 on a tow vehicle 130.
- twin reel 136 which will dispense hoses 134 over which the surfacing 128 would be deployed or dragged.
- the hoses are inflated with air from tanks of compressed air (not shown), which could be mounted under truck 124. Pressure regulators would reduce the air pressure to the proper pressure for the hose. After deployment of the surfacing is finished, the hoses are cut, allowing the total hose length to deflate for trafficing the roadway. This allows the long section of surfacing weighing up to 100,000 pounds to be deployed with a low coefficient of friction but, when the hose is deflated, to provide a high fixity between the surfacing and subgrade.
