Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein gepanzertes Fahrzeug mit einer A-Säule und einer Frontscheibe, die insbesondere aus einem Panzerungsmaterial wie Panzerglas hergestellt ist. Bei solchen Fahrzeugen ist die Frontscheibe zumindest teilweise von einem Scheibenrahmen umfasst, über den die Scheibe am Fahrzeug befestigt werden kann.The invention relates to an armored vehicle with an A-pillar and a windscreen, which is made in particular of an armor material such as bulletproof glass. In such vehicles, the windshield is at least partially enclosed by a window frame, via which the window can be fastened to the vehicle.

Bei bekannten Fahrzeugen (siehe z.B. US4352316 ), die auf beiden Seiten des Fahrzeugs eine A-Säule aufweisen, ist die Frontscheibe mit dem Scheibenrahmen zwischen den beiden A-Säulen angeordnet. Die A-Säule muss bei gepanzerten Fahrzeugen verschiedenen hohen Belastungen standhalten, so dass die A-Säule dementsprechend stabil dimensioniert sein muss.In known vehicles (see, eg US4352316 ), which have on both sides of the vehicle an A-pillar, is the windscreen with the window frame between arranged the two A-pillars. The A-pillar has to withstand various high loads in armored vehicles, so that the A-pillar must be dimensioned accordingly stable.

Nachteilig an der bekannten Ausgestaltung ist, dass, aufgrund der entsprechenden Konstruktion der A-Säule sowie der daran angepassten Ausgestaltung der Scheibe sowie des Scheibenrahmens, der Sichtbereich für den Fahrer eingeschränkt wird.A disadvantage of the known configuration that, due to the corresponding construction of the A-pillar and the adapted thereto design of the disc and the window frame, the field of view for the driver is restricted.

Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, ein gepanzertes Fahrzeug mit einem verbesserten Sichtbereich bereitzustellen.The invention has the object to provide an armored vehicle with an improved field of view.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Bestandteil der abhängigen Ansprüche.The invention solves the problem with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are part of the dependent claims.

Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung liegt darin, dass der Scheibenrahmen derart am Fahrzeug angeordnet wird, dass er sich gegen eine frontale Fläche der A-Säule abstützt. Dadurch liegt der Scheibenrahmen aus Sicht des Fahrers hinter der A-Säule und der Sichtbereich wird vergrößert.A basic idea of the invention lies in the fact that the window frame is arranged on the vehicle such that it is supported against a frontal area of the A-pillar. As a result, from the driver's point of view, the window frame is behind the A-pillar and the viewing area is increased.

Zudem kann seitlich am Fahrzeug zumindest ein Panzerungselement wie eine Panzerplatte an einer vorzugsweise seitlichen Fläche des Scheibenrahmens befestigt sein. Die Befestigung kann mittels einer oder mehrerer am Scheibenrahmen angeordneter Befestigungsvorrichtungen erfolgen. Somit wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass das seitliche Panzerungselement auf Grund der Befestigung am Scheibenrahmen nicht mehr an der A-Säule befestigt werden muss, so dass die A-Säule entlastet wird. Hierdurch kann ihre Bauweise kompakt gehalten werden, so dass weiterhin der Sichtbereich für den Fahrer vergrößert wird. Insbesondere kann das seitliche Panzerungselement zudem den Scheibenrahmen und die A-Säule überdecken, bevorzugt mindestens aber die Fuge zwischen Scheibenrahmen und A-Säule, so dass eine ballistisch vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung entsteht.In addition, at least one armor element such as an armor plate can be fastened on the side of the vehicle to a preferably lateral surface of the window frame. The attachment can be done by means of one or more arranged on the window frame fasteners. Thus, the advantage is achieved that the side armor element due to the attachment to the window frame no longer needs to be attached to the A-pillar, so that the A-pillar is relieved. As a result, their design can be kept compact, so that the range of vision for the driver is further increased. In particular, the lateral armor element can also cover the window frame and the A-pillar, but preferably at least the joint between the window frame and the A-pillar, so that a ballistically advantageous embodiment is created.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist frontal am Fahrzeug zumindest ein Panzerungselement wie eine Panzerplatte am Scheibenrahmen befestigt. Die Befestigung kann mittels eines oder mehrerer am Scheibenrahmen angeordneter Befestigungsvorrichtungen erfolgen. Hierdurch wird wiederum die A-Säule entlastet, wodurch eine Verbesserung hinsichtlich des Sichtbereiches erreicht werden kann.In a preferred embodiment, at least one armor element, such as an armor plate, is fastened to the window frame at the front of the vehicle. The attachment can be done by means of one or more arranged on the window frame fasteners. As a result, in turn, the A-pillar is relieved, whereby an improvement in the field of view can be achieved.

Eine seitliche Fläche des Scheibenrahmens und eine seitliche Fläche der A-Säule können bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung im Wesentlichen in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen. Durch die sich ergebende ebene Fläche kann das seitliche Panzerungselement einen konstanten Abstand zur A-Säule und zur seitlichen Fläche des Scheibenrahmens aufweisen, so dass eine ballistisch vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung entsteht.A lateral surface of the disc frame and a lateral surface of the A-pillar can lie in an advantageous embodiment substantially in a common plane. Due to the resulting flat surface, the side armor element may have a constant distance from the A-pillar and the lateral surface of the window frame, so that a ballistically advantageous embodiment.

Die A-Säule kann weiterhin dadurch entlastet werden, dass der Scheibenrahmen lose an der A-Säule anliegt. Die Befestigung des Scheibenrahmens kann somit lediglich an den horizontal verlaufenden Elementen des Scheibenrahmens erfolgen.The A-pillar can still be relieved by the fact that the window frame rests loosely on the A-pillar. The attachment of the window frame can thus take place only on the horizontally extending elements of the window frame.

Die Erfindung kann den Vorteil bieten, dass die Konstruktion der A-Säule vereinfacht, insbesondere verschmälert werden kann, so dass der Sichtbereich nur geringfügig eingeschränkt wird.The invention can provide the advantage that the construction of the A-pillar can be simplified, in particular narrowed, so that the field of view is only slightly limited.

Bevorzugt liegt der Scheibenrahmen hinsichtlich des Augpunktes des Fahrzeugs im Sichtschatten der A-Säule. Als Augpunkt wird hierbei ein Punkt angenommen, in dem die Augen des Fahrers vereinigt angenommen liegen und welcher auf einer senkrechten in 700 mm Höhe über dem unbelasteten, in seiner Mittelstellung befindlichen Führersitz liegt, wobei die Senkrechte in 130 mm Abstand von der Vorderkante der Rückenlehne auf der Mittellinie des Sitzes zu errichten ist. Durch die Lage im Sichtschatten der A-Säule kommt es zu keiner Sichtbeeinträchtigung durch den Scheibenrahmen.Preferably, the window frame is in view of the eye point of the vehicle in the visual shadow of the A-pillar. As an eyepoint in this case a point is assumed, in which the driver's eyes are assumed to be combined and which is located on a vertical at 700 mm above the unloaded, located in its center position driver's seat, the vertical at 130 mm from the front edge of the backrest on to build the centerline of the seat. Due to the position in the visual shadow of the A-pillar, there is no visual impairment due to the window frame.
