Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the containment of a plurality of explosive objects or suspected as such, of the type used for the transport or storage of several objects.
  • the invention relates in particular to a device capable of attenuating the impact of an explosion of one of the objects on the other objects transported by the device.
  • This problem is particularly crucial for small ammunition, such as grenades.
  • the quantity of ammunition to be made available to a combat unit is important.
  • the transport and storage devices must optimize the density of storage while preventing an accidental explosion from causing an explosion of nearby munitions. It is furthermore desirable that the accidental explosion does not cause the dispersion of ammunition containers adjacent to the explosion, and that in any case the safety of the manipulators is improved.
  • the containment devices are placed in baggage compartments on a more fragile ground than a concrete floor.
  • the blast effect due to an explosion spreads in all directions and primarily to the ground where the device rests. It is then desirable that the blast effect be minimized preferably in the direction of the ground on which the device is placed.
  • the invention provides a device for the containment of several explosive objects or suspected as such, which overcomes these disadvantages by protecting neighboring objects from an accidental explosion.
  • the invention aims to protect the manipulator transporting explosive objects and the soil on which the device is stored.
  • the device for containing explosive objects, or suspected as such comprises a plurality of containers at least one of which is likely to be open to introduce the object, and may be closed to confine an accidental explosion.
  • a splinter guard protects the container.
  • Several containers are connected to a container which is adjacent to it by at least one tensile strength reinforcement.
  • the reinforcement connecting two adjacent containers separates the two containers by a tensile resistant partition.
  • the device comprises a drawer provided with a plurality of containers aligned along a longitudinal axis and disposed in said substantially cylindrical reinforcement and having an axis parallel to that of the windings of the containers.
  • the device comprises a drawer module comprising the drawer itself, and a sleeve in which the drawer is housed.
  • the sheath comprises a winding of splinter guard, the drawer being arranged in the sheath and covering several containers of the drawer.
  • the protection of the neighboring container is improved by the fact that the blast of the explosion reaches the neighboring container after having passed through one or more baffles. Indeed, the opening of the container where the explosion is closed by the sheath, while the adjacent container is in a direction perpendicular to the opening.
  • one of the drawer modules comprises means for absorbing the energy of the blast of the explosion.
  • the device comprises a frame receiving a plurality of drawers whose longitudinal axes are parallel
  • the drawers are coplanar, the winding axes of the containers of the drawers are perpendicular to the plane of the drawers, and the containers have an opening on the same side.
  • the device comprises rolling means and gripping means capable of promoting the movement of the device in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the drawers.
  • the device comprises means for absorbing the energy of the blast of the explosion.
  • These means can be included in the frame. They can also be included in a container.
  • the device comprises intermediate elements able to deform by dissipating energy.
  • the device comprises a hose wound to the deformable walls, and containing a compressible fluid.
  • the device comprises a drawer 1 illustrated figure 1 and a sheath 2 illustrated figure 2 .
  • the drawer 1 comprises three containers 3a, 3b and 3c.
  • the container 3a is provided with a winding 4a of a rectangular splinter sheet.
  • two other containers 3b and 3c are made by windings 4b and 4c of splinter sheet. Said sheet is wound for each of them in a substantially cylindrical manner about a vertical axis 5a, 5b, 5c leaving in its upper part an opening 7.
  • a bottom 8 indicated in dashed lines figure 4 3b container, opposite the opening 7, and integral with the winding 4b can be made with one or more fabric sheets of sufficient strength to contain the weight of the object 6.
  • the bottom 8 can be made by one or more splinter sheets.
  • the material used for the splinter sheet is for example aramid ballistic type so woven with sufficient density to resist the penetration of shards.
  • the winding 4a, 4b, 4c is multilayer, for example comprises 30 layers. The layers are held in contact with each other so that the winding does not deviate during the explosion. The cohesion of these windings can be ensured by the sewing of the different layers as well as by the friction between the layers.
  • a tensile strength reinforcement 9 connects each container to at least one neighboring container.
  • the reinforcement is made by a strapping 10 surrounding the three containers 3a, 3b, 3c around a vertical axis so that the openings 7 remain free.
  • the containers 3a, 3b and 3c are aligned along a longitudinal axis 11.
  • the openings 7 of the containers being perpendicular to the axis 11 so that the containers do not communicate directly with each other, which helps to isolate the neighboring containers of the other.
  • the height of the strapping 10 is at most equal to that of the containers 3a, 3b and 3c so that the openings 7 exceed or at the most flush with the strapping 10.
  • the height of the strapping 10 may be substantially the same. same as that of the containers 3a, 3b and 3c.
  • the strapping 10 is sufficiently tensile strength to maintain the cohesion of the drawer 1 despite the explosion of an object 6 inside one of the containers 3a, 3b, 3c.
  • the level of tensile strength required for the reinforcement 9 comprises at least two components.
  • the first component of tensile strength relates to transient stresses of a few nanoseconds to a few tenths of a second during which the reinforcement 9 is able to transmit to its surroundings a part of the energy of the explosion and able to dissipate another part without the drawer being disemboweled by the explosion.
  • the second component of tensile strength concerns long-term stress due to weight and handling of the device and objects 6.
  • the windings 4a of the containers, the strapping 10, the casing winding 14 may be made by one or more splinter sheets, the material of which may be ballistic aramid.
  • An explosive object 6 is disposed in the container 3a.
  • the containers 3b and 3c could receive an explosive object.
  • the number of containers could be any number greater than or equal to 2. This number is limited only by the size of the explosive object 6 and that of the device which must remain fit for transport or storage.
  • the shape of the winding 4a is adapted to the ammunition to be transported.
  • Containers of different sizes can be juxtaposed. For example, three oval-shaped main containers receive grenades or main ammunition while, in the open spaces between the main containers, other smaller containers can accommodate secondary ammunition.
  • the use of ballistic aramid sheets in the strapping 10 makes it possible to produce a tensile strength reinforcement 9 also contributing to the splinter guard function of the windings 4a, 4b, 4c of the containers 3a, 3b, 3c.
  • the reinforcement 9 uses a tensile resistant material without being woven as tight as the ballistic aramid.
  • the reinforcement 9 can also use metal son.
  • the reinforcement 9 may also use dielectric wires or sheets which offer the advantage of avoiding the propagation of electric current and thermal propagation from one container to another.
  • the reinforcing material 9 is preferably flame retarded so as not to propagate the flame.
  • a strap 12 is fixed on the sides of the hoop 10 corresponding to the longitudinal axis 11 so that the strap 12 serves as a handle for pulling the drawer along the longitudinal axis 11.
  • the windings 4a, 4b, 4c of the containers 3a, 3b, 3c and the strapping 10 are covered with a covering fabric.
  • This fabric can also have reflective properties to confine the radiation of the explosion.
  • the figure 2 shows the sheath 2 in which is housed the drawer 1 along the longitudinal axis 11 and thus together form a drawer module 13, see Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the sheath 2 comprises a casing winding 14 of flaky sheets around the longitudinal axis 11 in a substantially rectangular peripheral path, adapted to the shape of the drawer 1.
  • the upper wall 15 and the lower wall 16 of the sheath 2 serve to close the containers 3a, 3b and 3c and cover the three containers capable of receiving explosive objects.
  • the material of the casing winding 14 can also be ballistic aramid.
  • locations may be provided for non-explosive objects such as objects necessary for the use of these explosive objects, such as accumulators.
  • these locations may be located outside the strapping 10 or be not covered by the sleeve winding 14 while being integral with the drawer module 3.
  • the casing winding 14 may be coated with a covering coating or an anti-reflective coating for confining the radiation inside the containers.
  • the material of the sheath 2 will be flame retarded to slow the propagation of heat or flames from one container to another.
  • the Figures 3 and 4 show how the reinforcement 9, tensile strength, helps protect adjacent containers from the one where an object explodes.
  • the interior volume of the container 3a where the explosion takes place suddenly inflates.
  • the walls of the container 3a deform and tend to take a partially spherical shape. This deformation pushes the adjacent container 3b in the direction of the arrow 24.
  • the tensile strength of the strapping 10 keeps the adjacent container 3b in place and prevents it from being projected, causes damage.
  • the drawer 1 is surrounded by the sleeve 2.
  • the upper wall 15 and the lower wall 16 of the sleeve 2 are raised and also tend to take a partially spherical shape so that the blast in the direction of the arrow 38 from the explosion preferably leaks by the clearance between the upper wall 15 and the top edge 18 of the winding 3a and possibly between the lower wall 16 and the lower edge 19 of the winding 3a.
  • the breath is then channeled and leaks outward preferably along the longitudinal axis 11.
  • the blast also propagates inside the drawer, the wall 15 being raised, a game is established between this wall and the top edge 20 of the windings 3a and 3b. Similarly possibly, a game is established between the lower wall 16 and the lower edges 21 of the windings 3a and 3b.
  • the blast effect reaching the container 3b is attenuated by the baffles 20 and 21.
  • the blast effect reaching the container 3c is attenuated by the baffles 22 and 23.
  • the effect of the explosion of an object 6 in the container 3a has the effect of pushing the container 3b in a direction 24 and then, more attenuated, the opposite side in a direction 25. Then the container 2c is pushed even more attenuated in one direction 26.
  • the cohesion of the drawer and the holding in place of the containers are provided by the tensile strength of the reinforcements 9.
  • the device comprises a frame 27 in the form of a bag receiving three drawer modules 13a, 13b and 13c, aligned in parallel along longitudinal axes 11a, 11b and 11c.

  • the frame 27 comprises one or more sheets 28 surrounding all the drawer modules 13a, 13b, 13c so as to make them integral in the same plane.
  • the sheet 28 constitutes a tensile strength reinforcement, in the same way as the strapping 10.
  • the axes 5aa, 5ba, 5ca winding of the containers of the drawer 13a are perpendicular to the plane of the drawers. The same is true of the axes 5ab, 5bb, 5cb of the windings of the containers of the drawer 13b, as well as the axes 5ac, 5bc, 5cc of the windings of the containers of the drawer 13c.
  • sheets of ballistic aramid are used for all windings.
  • the container windings comprise 30 layers each of ballistic aramid.
  • the strapping 10 comprises 15 layers of ballistic aramid, the sleeve winding 14 comprises 40 layers of ballistic aramid and the frame winding 20 comprises 5 layers of ballistic aramid.
