Description

Le secteur technique de la présente invention est celui des dispositifs de protection d'un véhicule, et plus précisément des dispositifs permettant la protection d'une paroi d'observation, tel un pare-brise ou une ouverture d'observation d'un véhicule.The technical sector of the present invention is that of protective devices of a vehicle, and more specifically devices for protecting an observation wall, such as a windshield or an observation opening of a vehicle.

On connaît déjà différents dispositifs appliqués à un pare-brise de véhicule permettant de protéger les occupants contre une agression extérieure du type projectile.Various devices are already known applied to a vehicle windshield to protect the occupants against an external attack of the projectile type.

C'est notamment le cas du brevet US5307725 qui divulgue un dispositif de protection de pare-brise se présentant sous la forme de deux plaques pivotables et coulissantes permettant d'occulter le pare-brise. Un inconvénient majeur de ce dispositif réside dans le fait qu'il se situe à l'intérieur du véhicule, ce qui nécessite de prévoir un espace libre permettant son installation. De plus, lors de son déploiement, les plaques de protection risquent d'entrer en collision avec la tête du conducteur, ce qui n'est pas souhaitable.This is particularly the case of the patent US5307725 which discloses a windshield protection device in the form of two pivotable and sliding plates for concealing the windshield. A major disadvantage of this device lies in the fact that it is located inside the vehicle, which requires to provide a free space for installation. In addition, during its deployment, the protective plates may collide with the driver's head, which is not desirable.

On connaît également des véhicules anti-émeute comportant une protection grillagée afin de protéger le pare-brise du véhicule contre des projectiles tout en assurant une certaine visibilité au conducteur. Un inconvénient de cette protection réside dans le fait qu'elle est inefficace envers les projectiles de faible dimension (par exemple une balle d'une arme à feu) ou ayant une inertie importante.Also known are riot gear vehicles with a screen protection to protect the windshield of the vehicle against projectiles while providing some visibility to the driver. A disadvantage of this protection lies in the fact that it is ineffective against projectiles of small size (for example a bullet of a firearm) or having a large inertia.

Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif de protection du pare-brise d'un véhicule ne présentant pas de tels inconvénients.The object of the present invention is to provide a device for protecting the windshield of a vehicle that does not have such disadvantages.

L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de protection d'une paroi d'observation d'un véhicule, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'une plaque de blindage disposée à l'extérieur du véhicule et des bras pivotants assurant le déplacement de la plaque de blindage entre une position passive laissant le champ de vision totalement libre et une ou plusieurs positions de protection.The subject of the invention is therefore a device for protecting an observation wall of a vehicle, characterized in that it consists of a shielding plate disposed outside the vehicle and pivoting arms providing the moving the shielding plate between a passive position leaving the field of view totally free and one or more protection positions.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la position passive de la plaque de blindage correspond à une position de la plaque contre une paroi du véhicule et en dessous, ou en avant, de la paroi d'observation.According to a characteristic of the invention, the passive position of the armor plate corresponds to a position of the plate against a wall of the vehicle and below, or in before, from the observation wall.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la plaque de blindage peut adopter plusieurs positions de protection comprises entre la position passive et une position de protection totale occultant totalement la paroi d'observation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the shielding plate can adopt several protection positions between the passive position and a total protection position totally obscuring the observation wall.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la partie inférieure de la plaque coopère avec des rails afin d'être en permanence en contact avec une paroi du véhicule lors des déplacements de la plaque.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the lower part of the plate cooperates with rails in order to be permanently in contact with a wall of the vehicle during the movements of the plate.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les rails constituent une protection latérale de la paroi d'observation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the rails constitute a lateral protection of the observation wall.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif comporte une visière disposée au-dessus de la paroi d'observation, constituant une protection supérieure de cette dernière et recevant la partie supérieure de la plaque de blindage lorsque cette dernière occulte totalement la paroi d'observation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the device comprises a visor disposed above the observation wall, constituting an upper protection of the latter and receiving the upper part of the armor plate when the latter totally obscures the wall of the wall. 'observation.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la visière et la partie supérieure de la plaque de blindage comportent des profils complémentaires.According to another characteristic of the invention, the visor and the upper part of the shielding plate comprise complementary profiles.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif comporte des moyens de vision indirecte.According to another characteristic of the invention, the device comprises means of indirect vision.

Un tout premier avantage du dispositif selon l'invention réside dans le fait qu'il propose un moyen de protection d'une paroi de vision susceptible de réaliser différents niveau de protection en fonction de la menace.A first advantage of the device according to the invention lies in the fact that it provides a means of protection of a viewing wall may achieve different level of protection depending on the threat.

Un autre avantage réside dans la facilité et le faible coût de réalisation.Another advantage lies in the ease and low cost of implementation.

Un autre avantage du dispositif réside dans le fait qu'il ne nécessite pas de configuration particulière du véhicule à équiper et peut être monté sur tout type de véhicule.Another advantage of the device lies in the fact that it does not require any particular configuration of the vehicle to be equipped and can be mounted on any type of vehicle.

Un autre avantage réside dans le fait que le dispositif est disposé à l'extérieur du véhicule.Another advantage lies in the fact that the device is disposed outside the vehicle.

D'autres caractéristiques, détails et avantages de l'invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description donnée ci-après à titre indicatif en relation avec des dessins dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente un dispositif de protection d'une paroi d'observation d'un véhicule selon l'invention, et
  • les figures 2a à 2d illustrent différentes positions du dispositif de protection en fonction du niveau de protection à adopter.
Other features, details and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the description given below as an indication in relation to drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 represents a device for protecting an observation wall of a vehicle according to the invention, and
  • the Figures 2a to 2d illustrate different positions of the protection device according to the level of protection to be adopted.

La figure 1 représente un dispositif de protection d'une paroi d'observation d'un véhicule selon l'invention. Dans cet exemple, la paroi d'observation 7 est un pare-brise de véhicule militaire. Le dispositif de protection du pare-brise est réalisé par une plaque de blindage 1 disposée à l'extérieur du véhicule et supportée par des bras pivotants 2. Les bras pivotants 2 sont reliées à la caisse 10 du véhicule par une liaison du type pivot et à la plaque de blindage 1 par des pivots (ou des rotules pour assurer un montage isostatique). Des moyens moteurs (non représentés) assurent la rotation des bras 2 par rapport à la caisse 10 du véhicule. Des rails 3 sont disposés de part et d'autre de la plaque de protection 1 et épousent le profil de la paroi extérieure 9 (ou glacis) du véhicule. La partie inférieure 6 de la plaque de blindage coopère avec les rails 3 afin d'être en permanence en contact avec la paroi extérieure du véhicule lors des déplacements de la plaque. Les rails 3 constituent également un moyen de guidage de la plaque de blindage et une protection latérale de la paroi d'observation 7. La figure 1 illustre le dispositif de protection dans une position dite «semi-protégée». Le dispositif peut évidemment adopter d'autres positions décrites en relation avec les figures 2a à 2d.The figure 1 represents a device for protecting an observation wall of a vehicle according to the invention. In this example, the observation wall 7 is a military vehicle windshield. The protection device of the windshield is formed by a shielding plate 1 disposed outside the vehicle and supported by pivoting arms 2. The pivoting arms 2 are connected to the body 10 of the vehicle by a connection of the pivot type and to the armor plate 1 by pivots (or ball joints to ensure isostatic mounting). Motor means (not shown) rotate the arms 2 relative to the body 10 of the vehicle. Rails 3 are arranged on either side of the protection plate 1 and match the profile of the outer wall 9 (or glaze) of the vehicle. The lower portion 6 of the shielding plate cooperates with the rails 3 in order to be permanently in contact with the outer wall of the vehicle during the movements of the plate. The rails 3 also constitute a guide means for the shielding plate and a lateral protection of the observation wall 7. The figure 1 illustrates the protection device in a so-called "semi-protected" position. The device can obviously adopt other positions described in connection with the Figures 2a to 2d .

Les figures 2a à 2d illustrent différentes positions du dispositif de protection en fonction du niveau de protection à adopter, entre une position passive, laissant le champ de vision totalement libre, et une position de protection totale occultant totalement la paroi d'observation 7.The Figures 2a to 2d illustrate different positions of the protection device according to the level of protection to be adopted, between a passive position, leaving the field of vision completely free, and a total protection position totally obscuring the observation wall 7.

La figure 2a illustre la position passive de la plaque de blindage 1. Dans cette position, la plaque 1 est disposée contre la paroi extérieure 9 du véhicule et en avant de la paroi d'observation 7. Cette position permet à l'observateur situé à l'intérieur du véhicule de bénéficier d'une large vision de l'environnement extérieur.The figure 2a illustrates the passive position of the shielding plate 1. In this position, the plate 1 is disposed against the outer wall 9 of the vehicle and in front of the observation wall 7. This position allows the observer located inside the vehicle to benefit from a broad view of the outside environment.

Les figures 2b et 2c illustrent des positions intermédiaires. Dans ces positions, les bras 2, entraînés en rotation par un moteur (non représenté), ont réalisé le déplacement de la plaque de blindage 1 jusqu'à une position intermédiaire permettant à l'observateur (ou au conducteur) d'être protégé contre une agression (jets de pierre, projectile balistique,...), tout en conservant un champ de vision minimal. Des moyens 5 de vision indirecte, par exemple un ou plusieurs épiscopes (ou une ou plusieurs caméras), permettent de pallier à la diminution du champ de vision. Lors du déplacement de la plaque de blindage 1, la partie inférieure 6 de cette dernière coopère avec les rails 3 afin d'être en permanence en contact avec la paroi extérieure 9 du véhicule.The figures 2b and 2c illustrate intermediate positions. In these positions, the arms 2, driven in rotation by a motor (not shown), made the displacement of the armor plate 1 to an intermediate position allowing the observer (or the driver) to be protected against aggression (stone throwing, ballistic projectile, ...), while maintaining a minimal field of vision. Means 5 of indirect vision, for example one or more episcopes (or one or more cameras), make it possible to offset the decrease in the field of view. During the displacement of the shielding plate 1, the lower part 6 of the latter cooperates with the rails 3 in order to be permanently in contact with the outer wall 9 of the vehicle.

La figure 2d illustre la position de protection totale de la paroi d'observation. Dans cette position, la plaque 1 est disposée de sorte à occulter totalement la paroi d'observation 7. Une visière 4 est disposée au dessus de la paroi d'observation 7 et reçoit la partie supérieure 8 de la plaque de blindage 1. Avantageusement, la visière 4 et la partie supérieure 8 de la plaque de blindage comportent des profils complémentaires. La visière 4 constitue également une protection supérieure de la paroi d'observation et les rails 3 une protection latérale. La visière 4 ainsi que le glacis 9 du véhicule sont dimensionnés pour supporter les efforts transmis par la plaque de blindage 1.The figure 2d illustrates the total protection position of the observation wall. In this position, the plate 1 is arranged so as to completely obscure the viewing wall 7. A visor 4 is disposed above the observation wall 7 and receives the upper portion 8 of the shielding plate 1. Advantageously, the visor 4 and the upper part 8 of the armor plate have complementary profiles. The visor 4 also constitutes an upper protection of the observation wall and the rails 3 a lateral protection. The visor 4 and the glaze 9 of the vehicle are sized to withstand the forces transmitted by the armor plate 1.

Dans cette position, l'observateur (ou le conducteur) ne dispose plus que des moyens d'observation indirecte pour surveiller l'environnement extérieur.In this position, the observer (or the driver) only has the means of indirect observation to monitor the external environment.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif est le suivant: en conditions normales, le véhicule ne subit aucune agression, la plaque 1 est alors disposée contre la paroi extérieure 9 du véhicule. Lorsque le véhicule est agressé ou est susceptible d'être agressé, le conducteur, ou l'observateur, actionne la rotation des bras 2, au moyen d'une commande (non représentée) disposée à l'intérieur du véhicule. La rotation des bras peut être actionnée dans un sens ou dans un autre afin de placer la plaque de blindage 1 dans la position de protection souhaitée, en fonction de la menace. La plaque de blindage est ensuite maintenue en position, jusqu'à être déplacée de nouveau, dans une position de protection supérieure ou inférieure.The operation of the device is as follows: under normal conditions, the vehicle does not suffer aggression, the plate 1 is then disposed against the outer wall 9 of the vehicle. When the vehicle is attacked or is likely to be assaulted, the driver, or the observer, actuates the rotation of the arms 2, by means of a control (not shown) disposed inside the vehicle. The rotation arms can be actuated in one direction or another in order to place the armor plate 1 in the desired protection position, depending on the threat. The shielding plate is then held in position until it is moved again to a higher or lower protection position.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est ici représenté protégeant le pare-brise d'un véhicule. On pourra évidemment appliquer un tel dispositif à d'autres parois d'observation d'un véhicule, par exemple des vitres latérales ou un hayon arrière.The device according to the invention is here shown protecting the windshield of a vehicle. It will obviously be possible to apply such a device to other observation walls of a vehicle, for example side windows or a tailgate.
