  • Each side wall 8a of a spar 8 has a U-shaped cutout 8a1 located at look of the piece in stirrup 7 so as to allow the pivoting of the cross member 4 at the fixing position of the two panels 1, 2 at which element 4 is substantially perpendicular to the spar 8.
  • the opposite end of each element forming a crosspiece 4 comprises a nozzle 9, fixed by example by force fitting into the body tubular of element 4, and ending with a frustoconical part 10 engaging in a recess frustoconical conjugate 11 produced in a part 12 which is attached to the lower part of the panel corresponding 1, 2.
  • the part 12 has an approximate shape of a cube hollowed out to allow passage from above of the nozzle 9 in the part 12 during the pivoting of cross member 4 in the fixing position of the two panels 1, 2.
  • the part 12 has a wall stop 13 made in the bottom wall of the part 12 between the two side walls 12a, 12b of the part 12 perpendicular to them.
  • the stop wall 13 cooperates with a flange 14 located behind the frustoconical part 10 of the nozzle 9, so as to prevent withdrawal of the end of the forming element crosspiece 4 of part 12 when an accidental force is applied to element 4 in a direction tending to move the end piece 9 away from the part 12.
  • the latter is also fixed, for example by welding, in the corresponding spar 8, including the side wall 8a has a U-shaped cut 8a2 opposite the part recess corresponding to U-shaped cross section of the room 12 so as to allow the free passage of the nozzle 9 in the part 12 over the latter for place the frusto-conical part 10 in its orifice corresponding 11.
  • Each cross member 4 is maintained in inactive position in two legs elastic 15 defining approximately a shape in ⁇ and fixed to the bottom of a hollow between two corrugations successive 3 for example by a rivet 16. Both legs 15 receive the corresponding tip 9 in deviating elastically from each other and then closing to ensure the maintenance of element 4 at the inactive position.
  • the device comprises four elements forming sleepers, but it is understood that it is possible to predict more or less.
  • two of the elements 4 are hingedly attached to one of the side members 8 while the other two elements 4 are hingedly attached to each other side member 8. It is also possible to fix alternately articulated elements 4 to two spars or just to fix it so articulated all the elements 4 to the same spar 8.
  • Figure 4 shows that the parallel beams 8 and the elements forming crosspieces 4 assembled between the spars perpendicular to these form a rigid chassis supporting the two panels 1, 2.

Arrived at this place, the person separates the two panels 1, 2 by disconnecting the tab of attachment 22 of its axis of attachment 23 to the panel 1, as shown in figure 14. After digging a excavation 27 of appropriate dimensions, the person successively introduces the two panels 1, 2 into excavation 27 in a substantially vertical position and sets up the four cross members 4 by tilting them down clockwise of a watch as shown in Figures 15 and 16.
  • the shape and structure of the panels 1, 2 and the cross members 4 are optimized for allow the shelter to withstand the lateral thrust of very unstable terrain and land push exercised in particular on the side walls of the panels 1, 2 of the buried shelter helps to keep it firmly the frustoconical ends of the elements forming sleepers 4 in their tapered orifices correspondents.
  • the shape of the panels 1, 2, the nesting of their upper parts and lower links of these provide, under the action of the pressure of the earth on top and the sides of the panels, a self-locking device ensuring the complete safety of the personnel.
  • the simplicity means used to assemble the shelter and the robustness of it allow many dismantling for successive uses of the shelter and the shape and length of this shelter are compatible with the use of small arms.
  • the shelter allows easily accommodate two people and is easily transportable by one person since the weight panels fitted in the transport position is at about 17 kilograms maximum.
  • Experiments of the shelter buried under a layer of soil of about 60 cm thick showed that the shelter resists attack by a 155 mm shell.
