Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lateral weapon support on an armored turret for a light armored vehicle.
  • Such vehicles are designed to carry out law enforcement, anti-guerrilla warfare, and route safety in rough terrain and in built-up areas. In the combat zone, they are suitable for neutralizing resistance points, cleaning the ground and destroying infantry columns.
  • This type of light armored vehicle is generally equipped with a turret with a main weapon placed on a site pin placed transversely in the front position of the turret.
  • the main weapon can be cited as mortars, for example a 60 mm mortar, heavy machine guns for example, a 12.7 caliber machine gun.
  • They can also simultaneously include a mortar and a 12.7 caliber machine gun or a 60 mm mortar and two smaller caliber machine guns, for example 7.62 mm.
  • the object of the present invention is to give such light armored vehicles the possibility of engaging missions of well protected targets, such as light armored vehicles, heavy tanks, by means of the addition of additional armaments giving said light armored vehicle a power of daunting destruction while keeping its basic weapons, its qualities of lightness, discretion and mobility.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide the arrangement in superstructure of a light armored turret capable of receiving such an additional weapon by allowing its control from inside the turret with the turret hatch closed, so as to ensure maximum safety for the vehicle crew.
  • the invention also aims to increase the fire capacity of the vehicle by allowing an arrangement of the superstructure capable of carrying additional ammunition racks for the lateral weapon thus put in place.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore an armored turret for a light armored vehicle comprising, in a known manner, at least one main weapon movable in elevation on a pin placed at the front part of the turret, and further comprising in lateral position in the superstructure a lateral weapon.
  • said lateral weapon being carried by a mobile cradle in elevation on a fixed chassis external to the turret forming an upper fork of a hollow support arm capable of receiving the transmission members for controlling the operation of said lateral weapon, in that the weapon is fixed to the mobile cradle by means of transverse pins, in that the mobile cradle is mounted rotating in elevation by transverse axes journalling in bearings of the fork of the chassis of the support arm, and in that the turret comprises a connecting rod between the movable cradle of the lateral weapon and the journal of the main weapon, said journal passing through the horn ps of turret to protrude laterally outside of it.
  • the end of the journal external to the body of turret comprises a rod at the end of which is rotatably mounted a first yoke of the connecting rod while a second yoke of the latter is rotatably mounted on the movable cradle in front of its journal axis so that the link, the connecting rod and the movable cradle form a deformable quadrilateral ensuring the pointing in site of the lateral weapon by copying the pointing in site of the main weapon.
  • the lateral weapon comprises a mechanical device for resetting the breech comprising a control lever internal to the turret connected to said mechanism by a mechanical transmission disposed inside the hollow support arm.
  • the lateral weapon may be either a grenade launcher powered by grenades supplied with bands, or a machine gun supplied with medium caliber projectiles supplied with bands.
  • the turret shown here comprises a body 1 at the front of which is disposed at least one main weapon.
  • the turret comprises a 60 mm mortar referenced 2a as well as a 12.7 mm caliber machine gun, referenced 2b and a 7.62 caliber machine gun referenced 2c.
  • Said main weapons are able to journal in elevation either together or separately on a common transverse journal 3 arranged in a cylindrical bulb 4 projecting from the body of the turret 1.
  • the turret comprises a lateral weapon 5 mounted in superstructure.
  • the turret has a mechanically welded hollow support arm 6 which generally rises vertically on the left lateral edge of the turret.
  • the hollow internal part of the arm 6 is connected to the interior of the turret body 1.
  • a fixed chassis 7 forming a transverse fork is integral with said arm 6.
  • the vertical arms of the fork of the chassis 7 carry bearings 8 which allow the cradle in site of a cradle 9 by means of transverse axes 10.
  • the lateral weapon 5 is fixed to the movable cradle 9 by means of at least one transverse pin 11 comprising a ring 12.
  • a power take-off is produced on the journal 3 of the main weapon, one end 3a of which passes through the body of the turret 1 and the end of which comprises a link 13
  • an adjustable yoke 14a With a connecting rod 14 attached to the movable cradle 9 by a second adjustable yoke 14b.
  • the lateral weapon can be oriented from -20 ° (down) to + 80 ° (up).
  • the connecting rod 14 is equipped with two yokes 14a, 14b whose position is adjustable on the connecting rod rod by screw-nut systems so that the length of the connecting rod 14 is adjustable as well as, thereby, the angle of opening rotation of the lateral weapon in elevation relative to that of the main weapon (s).
  • the weapon 5 is equipped with an electric firing triggering system, the firing box 15 of which is disposed inside the turret facing the servant's firing station and whose electrical connection 16 with the weapon transits inside the hollow support arm 6.
  • the weapon for example a grenade launcher
  • This device slides in a slide of the cylinder head box and can be brought back against a return spring 19 by a cable 18 passing over a pulley 20, the cable then passing through a sheath passing through the arm. hollow support 6 to a disengageable control lever 21.
  • the cradle 9 has a vertical lateral part 9a covering and protecting the entire rear lateral part of the weapon, said vertical part 9a of the cradle supports at its rear part the pulley 20 over which the cable 18 for controlling the reset while the reset device 17 is resiliently biased forward by means of the return spring 19, the end of which is fixed to the front part of the cradle 9.
  • the lateral weapon is supplied by ammunition carried by a swaddled strip, said strip being placed in a standard container 22 carried by a removable support 23 fixed laterally to the cradle 9.
  • the object of the invention extends to any type of lateral weapon placed on a turret by means of the claimed structure and in particular to grenade launchers or machine guns supplied with tape.
  • the invention provides existing light armored vehicles with additional firepower and new operational capabilities which significantly increases its potential for use.
