Abstract

Ein Verbundpanzerungselement, insbesondere eine Verbundpanzerplatte, zum Schutz vor Geschossen. Das Verbundpanzerungselement enthält mindestens eine Lage aus parallel zueinander und zur Beschussrichtung in Reihen angeordneten hochharten Elementen (GE) mit zylindrischem Grundkörper. In einer an einem äußeren und/oder inneren Rand des Verbundpanzerungselements angrenzenden Abschlussreihe (R1, R2, R3, R4) oder in Lücken zwischen diesen Elementen sind mindestens einige erste Zusatzelemente (1) mit zylindrischem Grundkörper angeordnet, die an der dem Rand zugewandten Seite in einer Richtung in der Zylinderachse oder parallel oder schräg zur Zylinderachse abgeschnitten sind.

Figure imgaf001
A composite armor element, in particular a composite armor plate, for protection from bullets. The composite armor element contains at least one layer of parallel-to-each other and to the firing direction arranged in rows of high-hardness elements (GE) with a cylindrical base body. In a terminal row (R1, R2, R3, R4) adjacent to an outer and / or inner edge of the composite armor element or in gaps between these elements, at least some first auxiliary elements (1) are arranged with a cylindrical base body, which at the edge facing side in FIG a direction in the cylinder axis or are cut parallel or obliquely to the cylinder axis.
