Definitions

  • This invention relates to armoured vehicles provided with cranes whereby they are capable of being used as recovery vehicles, engineer/repair vehicles and the like.
  • the aforementioned cranes may be fixed in position on the hull of the vehicle, in which case it is necessary to manoeuvre the vehicle as a whole into a suitable position relative to a vehicle to be rescued prior to operating the crane.
  • the crane may be supported on a turntable mounted on the hull or chassis, the crane being rotatable relative to the chassis on its associated bearing race thus somewhat improving access to a vehicle to be rescued compared with the first-mentioned arrangement.
  • the crew in such a vehicle remain stationary relative to the crane, and consequently manoeuvrability relative to a vehicle to be rescued can still pose problems.
  • an armoured vehicle comprising a chassis on which is mounted a rotatable turret, and a crane mounted on the turret tjp be rotatable with said turret and pivotal relative thereto.
  • the crane does not require a separate bearing race of its own but is rotatable with the turret and its occupants through 360°, whereby, in conjunction with the pivotability of the crane, all round manoeuvrability relative to the armoured vehicle is achieved, the crew moving with the crane whereby control thereof is improved.
  • the crane comprises a support structure or framework, for example an A-frame or the like, pivotally mounted on, externally of, the turret, said framework having an extensible outer end section carrying a crane-hook, one or more fixed-length ties extending between the turret and said end section, the arrangement being such that extension and retraction of said end section relative to the remainder of the framework, which may be achieved hydraulically, electrically or mechanically, results in lowering and raising of the framework relative to the turret.
  • a support structure or framework for example an A-frame or the like, pivotally mounted on, externally of, the turret, said framework having an extensible outer end section carrying a crane-hook, one or more fixed-length ties extending between the turret and said end section, the arrangement being such that extension and retraction of said end section relative to the remainder of the framework, which may be achieved hydraulically, electrically or mechanically, results in lowering and raising of the framework relative to the turret.
  • the crane-hook is attached to a rope or cable supplied from a winch such that the position of the crane-hook relative to the framework can be altered.
  • the winch may be mounted on the framework or in the vehicle turret.
  • the illustrated armoured recovery or repair vehicle comprises a tracked hull 2 on which is mounted a turret 4 rotatable about a central vertical axis 'A' as indicated by arrows 'B', the turret including a conventional crew hatch 6 and a cupola 8.
  • a crane indicated generally at 10 the crane comprising an A-frame 12 the free ends of the arms of which are each pivotally mounted to the turret at 14.
  • the frame 12 carries a box-section member 16 from which extends a telescopic end section 18 the position of which relative to the member 16 and the A-frame 12 can be adjusted, for example hydraulically, electrically or mechanically.
  • extension and retraction of the telescopic end section 18 relative to the frame 12 serves to lower and to raise the crane 10 as indicated by the arrow 'E in Fig. 1, with the A-frame 12 pivoting about the points 14.
  • the position of the hook 32 is substantially universally adjustable through appropriate rotation of the turret 4, pivoting of the A-frame 12 and actuation of the rope winch 28, the crew within the turret 4 being able to control and follow said movement of the crane very closely.
  • the frame 12 may be other than A-shaped, there may be one or more than two ties 20, which ties may comprise cables, rods or the like, while the winch 28 may be mounted in the turret 4 instead of on the frame 12.
  • ties 20 may comprise cables, rods or the like
  • winch 28 may be mounted in the turret 4 instead of on the frame 12.
