Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schutzeinrichtung für Fahrzeuge gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a protective device for vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist bekannt, insbesondere für den Personenschutz, voll oder teilweise gegen Beschuß gepanzerte Kraftfahrzeuge zu verwenden. Voll gepanzerte Fahrzeuge sind verhältnismäßig schwer und kostenintensiv, während teilweise gepanzerte Fahrzeuge nur einen unzulänglichen Schutz bieten. Insbesondere sind z.B. die regulären Einsatzfahrzeuge von Polizei, Zivilstreifen, Grenzschutz, Zollfahndung gegen Beschuß durch Handfeuer-Waffen in keiner Weise geschützt.It is known, in particular for personal protection, to use fully or partially armored motor vehicles against fire. Fully armored vehicles are relatively heavy and costly, while partially armored vehicles offer inadequate protection. In particular, e.g. the regular emergency vehicles of the police, civil patrols, border guards, customs officers are in no way protected against shelling by handguns.

Nach US-A-4,331,359 ist bereits eine Schutzeinrichtung für Fahrzeuge, insbesondere für Kraftfahrzeuge, mit einer Schutzpanzerung aus gegen Beschuß widerstandsfähigem Material bekannt. Hierbei ist in der Fahrzeugtür eine Schutzplatte mittels Betätigungselementen ausfahrbar angeordnet.According to US-A-4,331,359, a protective device for vehicles, in particular for motor vehicles, with protective armor made of material that is resistant to bombardment is already known. In this case, a protective plate is arranged in the vehicle door and can be extended by means of actuating elements.

Eine Schutzelnrichtung für Fahrzeuge, wobei an der Karosserie eine Schutzplatte ausfahrbar angeordnet ist, zeigt auch FR-A 1 374 081.FR-A 1 374 081 also shows a protective direction for vehicles, a protective plate being arranged on the body so that it can be extended.

Derartige Schutzeinrichtungen bieten aber nur einen auf den oberen Bereich des Fahrzeugs begrenzten Schutz. Bei geöffneter Fahrzeugtür ist hingegen im Bereich unterhalb der Tür keinerlei Schutz vorhanden.However, such protective devices only offer protection limited to the upper area of the vehicle. When the vehicle door is open, however, there is no protection in the area below the door.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schutzeinrichtung für Fahrzeuge zu schaffen, die sowohl im oberen als auch im Bereich unterhalb der Fahrzeugtür Schutz bietet, die somit hoch wirksam und dabei einfach und kostengünstig ist und leicht in vorhandene Fahrzeuge eingebaut werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a protective device for vehicles which offers protection both in the upper area and in the area below the vehicle door, which is thus highly effective and at the same time simple and inexpensive and can be easily installed in existing vehicles.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in accordance with the features of patent claim 1.

Die Schutzplatten bewirken im ausgefahrenen Zustand eine erhebliche Schutzflächenvergrößerung des Fahrzeuges. So bietet z.B. die Fahrzeugtür mit ausgefahrenen Schutzplatten einen ausreichend großen Schutzschild gegen Beschuß durch Handfeuerwaffen, wobei vorteilhaft ein Sehschlitz eine gesicherte Beobachtung oder gegebenenfalls auch eine Abwehr ermöglicht. Durch eine Entriegelungseinrichtung kann die als Schutzschild dienende Fahrzeugtür auch vorteilhaft von der Karosserie gelöst und in eine der Bedrohungsrichtung entsprechende optimale Schutzstellung gebracht werden.The protective plates bring about a considerable increase in the protective surface area of the vehicle when extended. For example, the vehicle door with extended protective plates has a sufficiently large protective shield against fire from small arms, advantageously a viewing slit enabling secure observation or, if necessary, a defense. By means of an unlocking device, the vehicle door serving as a protective shield can also advantageously be detached from the body and brought into an optimal protective position corresponding to the direction of the threat.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt.In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown.

Fig. 3
a vehicle door according to FIG. 1 in longitudinal section.

In eine Fahrzeugtür 1 ist eine feststehende, insbesondere aus einem dem gewünschten Schutzniveau entsprechenden Material bestehende Schutzplatte 2 eingebaut. Parallel zu der Schutzplatte 2 sind zwei nach oben und unten auf Führungschienen 3 ausfahrbare Schutzplatten 4 angeordnet, die über einen pneumatischen oder hydraulischen Antrieb 5 oder auch mechanisch über einen in der Fahrzeugtür 1 angeordneten Auslöseschalter 6 betätigbar sind. Eine mechanische Sicherheitsschaltung 7 gewährleistet, daß die nach unten ausfahrbare Schutzplatte nur bei geöffneter Fahrzeugtür ab einem bestimmten Öffnungswinkel ausfahrbar ist. Der Betriebsdruck zum Ausfahren der beweglichen Schutzplatten 4 z.B. dienenden Preßluftflasche kann mittels eines am Türrahmen angebrachten Ventils 8 geprüft und gegebenenfalls nachgefüllt werden. In der nach oben ausfahrbaren Schutzplatte 4 ist ein Sehschlitz 9 angebracht. Durch eine mit der Fahrzeugtür 1 verbundene Entriegelungsvorrichtung 10 kann die nach Ausfahren der beweglichen Schutzplatten 4 als Schutzschild dienende Fahrzeugtür 1 von der Karosserie gelöst und in eine der Bedrohungsrichtung entsprechende optimale Schutzstellung gebracht werden.A fixed protective plate 2, in particular made of a material corresponding to the desired protection level, is installed in a vehicle door 1. In parallel to the protective plate 2, two protective plates 4 extendable up and down on guide rails 3 are arranged, which can be actuated via a pneumatic or hydraulic drive 5 or mechanically via a trigger switch 6 arranged in the vehicle door 1. A mechanical safety circuit 7 ensures that the protective plate which can be extended downwards can only be extended from a certain opening angle when the vehicle door is open. The operating pressure for extending the movable protective plates 4 e.g. serving compressed air bottle can be checked by means of a valve 8 attached to the door frame and refilled if necessary. A viewing slit 9 is provided in the protective plate 4 which can be extended upwards. By means of an unlocking device 10 connected to the vehicle door 1, the vehicle door 1, which serves as a protective shield after the movable protective plates 4 have been extended, can be detached from the body and brought into an optimal protective position corresponding to the direction of the threat.
