Ein dargestelltes gepanzertes Fahrzeug 1 wird an seiner Unterseite und Bodenplatte 3 mit einem rechteckförmigen hohlen Kasten 5 versehen, der im Verhältnis zur ebenen Ausdehnung eine geringe Bauhöhe aufweist und sich über die gesamte Breite und Länge der Bodenplatte 3 erstreckt. Die Bauhöhe ergibt sich aus der Differenz der Maße 6 und 7. In dem hohlen Kasten 5 werden Dämpfungselemente 4 vergleichbar mit kleinen Sandsäcken mit mehreren Elementen sowohl in der Längsrichtung als auch in der Querrichtung des Kastens 5 angeordnet, so daß der Kasten 5 innen vollständig mit Elementen angefüllt ist. Die ursprüngliche Bodenfreiheit des Fahrzeugs 1, das auf Laufrollen 8 auf dem Boden 2 aufsteht, ist durch das Maß 6 gegeben. Durch Einbau des Kastens 5 wird die Bodenfreiheit im sonst unveränderten Fahrzeug auf das Maß 7 reduziert. In Figur 1, 2 ist ein Kettenfahrzeug 1 im Umriß skizziert. Der bezeichnete Kasten 5 ist in gleicher Weise auch bei einem Radfahrzeug anbaubar. Der Kasten 5 wird durch eine Platte 18 und einen umlaufenden seitlichen Rand 19 gebildet und ist allseitig geschlossen, wobei die obere Begrenzung als Deckel durch die Bodenplatte 3 des Fahrzeugs gebildet wird. An der Berührung 9 zwischen dem Kasten 5 und der Fahrzeugbodenplatte 3 wird der Kasten 5 mit dem Fahrzeug 1 fest durch Schweißen oder lösbar durch Schrauben verbunden (nicht näher dargestellt).
In Figur 3 ist ein Detail der Vorrichtung im Längs- oder gleichermaßen anwendbar im Querschnitt dargestellt. Die bezeichneten Dämpfungselemente 4 liegen nebeneinander im Kasten 5 bzw. auf der Platte 18. Für die Fixierung der Elemente 4 sind Längs- und Querrippen 12 auf der Platte 18 aufgebracht, zum Beipiel durch Schweißen oder Preßverformung der Platte 18. Die rechteckförmigen Elemente 4 sind mit einem feinkörnigen Medium 11, zum Beispiel Sand, gefüllt und werden von einer reißfesten Umhüllung 10 umschlossen. Die Platte 18 wird durch eingepreßte Sicken, die über die gesamte Platte verteilt sind, formstabil gemacht, wobei die Rippen 12 vorteilhaft auch mit den Sicken integriert werden können. Die Elemente 4 können auch mit der Platte 18 an der Unterseite 13 verklebt sein.
In Figur 4 ist alternativ dargestellt, wie die ursprüngliche Bodenfreiheit 6 aus Figur 1 auch bei Einbau des Kastens 5 erhalten werden kann. Durch Einstellung der Federung 15 für jedes Rad, zum Beispiel Einstellung der Federstäbe auf eine höhere Vorspannung oder Verwendung alternativer Federstäbe, wobei die Laufrollen 8 an Tragarmen 16 in Lagerstellen 17 gelagert sind, wird das Fahrzeug auf eine Bodenfreiheit mit Maß 14 gebracht. Dieses Maß 14 kann die Höhe der ursprünglichen Bodenfreiheit 6 aus Figur 1 erreichen. An armored vehicle 1 shown is provided on its underside and base plate 3 with a rectangular hollow box 5, which has a low overall height in relation to the planar extent and extends over the entire width and length of the base plate 3. The overall height results from the difference in dimensions 6 and 7. In the hollow box 5 damping elements 4 are arranged comparable to small sandbags with several elements both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction of the box 5, so that the box 5 is completely inside with Elements is filled. The original ground clearance of vehicle 1, which stands on rollers 8 on floor 2, is given by dimension 6. By installing the box 5, the ground clearance in the otherwise unchanged vehicle is reduced to size 7. 1, 2, a tracked vehicle 1 is outlined in outline. The designated box 5 can also be attached to a wheeled vehicle in the same way. The box 5 is formed by a plate 18 and a circumferential side edge 19 and is closed on all sides, the upper boundary being formed as a cover by the base plate 3 of the vehicle. At the contact 9 between the box 5 and the vehicle floor panel 3, the box 5 is firmly connected to the vehicle 1 by welding or detachably by screwing (not shown in more detail).
In Figure 3 a detail of the device in longitudinal or equally applicable is shown in cross section. The designated damping elements 4 are next to each other in the box 5 or on the plate 18. For the fixing of the elements 4, longitudinal and transverse ribs 12 are applied to the plate 18, for example by welding or compression molding the plate 18. The rectangular elements 4 are with a fine-grained medium 11, for example sand, and are enclosed by a tear-resistant covering 10. The plate 18 is made dimensionally stable by pressed-in beads, which are distributed over the entire plate, wherein the ribs 12 can advantageously also be integrated with the beads. The elements 4 can also be glued to the plate 18 on the underside 13.
FIG. 4 shows alternatively how the original ground clearance 6 from FIG. 1 can also be obtained when the box 5 is installed. By adjusting the suspension 15 for each wheel, for example adjusting the spring bars to a higher preload or using alternative spring bars, the rollers 8 being mounted on support arms 16 in bearing points 17, the vehicle is brought to a ground clearance with dimension 14. This dimension 14 can reach the height of the original ground clearance 6 from FIG. 1.
