Description

Le domaine technique de l'invention est celui des dispositifs de positionnement et fixation pour des protections balistiques déportées pour une structure, telle un véhicule militaire ou un abri fixe.The technical field of the invention is that of positioning and fixing devices for remote ballistic protections for a structure, such as a military vehicle or a fixed shelter.

Pour protéger les véhicules militaires contre les attaques de projectiles, il est connu de déporter les éléments de protection par rapport aux parois externes du véhicule au moyen de supports. Le brevet US2009266227 décrit un type de protection formé par un filet qui est positionné à distance des parois du véhicule par des bras fixes ayant une extrémité solidaire de la paroi.To protect military vehicles against projectile attacks, it is known to deport the protection elements relative to the outer walls of the vehicle by means of supports. The patent US2009266227 describes a type of protection formed by a net which is positioned at a distance from the walls of the vehicle by fixed arms having an end secured to the wall.

Ainsi l'élément de protection exerce sa fonction protectrice à distance du véhicule, ce qui permet de ne pas propager aux parois du véhicule les effets destructeurs subis par l'élément de protection. Ce déport de l'élément de protection est en particulier nécessaire lors de l'emploi de grilles de protection contre les attaques de roquettes à charge creuse. Le projectile doit en effet pénétrer jusqu'à un certain niveau au travers de la grille pour pouvoir être endommagé et pour que son dispositif d'allumage soit neutralisé.Thus, the protective element exerts its protective function at a distance from the vehicle, which makes it possible not to propagate to the walls of the vehicle the destructive effects suffered by the protection element. This offset of the protection element is particularly necessary when using protection grids against rocket attacks with hollow charge. The projectile must indeed penetrate up to a certain level through the grid to be damaged and that its ignition device is neutralized.

D'autres éléments de protection des structures, par exemple des filets ou bien des plaques sont également connus.Other structural protection elements, for example nets or plates are also known.

Un inconvénient majeur de tels dispositifs réside dans l'encombrement qu'ils présentent, en momifiant en particulier le gabarit d'origine du véhicule. Ainsi pour franchir certains passages, il peut être nécessaire de retirer la surprotection ou bien d'avoir recours à un dispositif tel que décrit dans WO200964263 où les grilles de surprotection sont levées et plaquées le long des parois latérales du véhicule.A major disadvantage of such devices lies in the size they present, especially mummifying the original template of the vehicle. Thus to cross certain passages, it may be necessary to remove overprotection or to resort to a device as described in WO200964263 where the over-protection grids are lifted and plated along the side walls of the vehicle.

Cette solution ne résout cependant que partiellement le problème d'encombrement car le gabarit en hauteur du véhicule est encore plus pénalisé.This solution however only partially solves the problem of size because the height gauge of the vehicle is even more penalized.

Cette solution ne facilite pas non plus l'accès à l'intérieur de la structure ou du véhicule une fois le dispositif de protection mis en place.This solution also does not facilitate access to the interior of the structure or the vehicle once the protective device in place.

On connaît par la demande de brevet WO2011/142784 un dispositif de déploiement de grilles de protection qui comporte des bras pliants situés entre une paroi du véhicule et un élément de protection. Ces bras comportent un grand nombre de sections qui sont reliées entre elles par des articulations. Ces bras sont interposés entre la paroi du véhicule et l'élément de protection et ils pénalisent le gabarit du véhicule même dans leur position repliée.It is known from the patent application WO2011 / 142784 a protection grid deployment device which comprises folding arms located between a vehicle wall and a protection element. These arms have a large number of sections that are interconnected by joints. These arms are interposed between the vehicle wall and the protection element and they penalize the template of the vehicle even in their folded position.

Le brevet US2011/0303817 propose un dispositif comprenant des bras souples permettant le maintien des éléments de protection balistique à distance d'un véhicule. Ce dispositif ne permet pas cependant de réduire l'encombrement latéral des protections mais il permet uniquement d'éviter leur endommagement suite à un choc.The patent US2011 / 0303817 proposes a device comprising flexible arms for maintaining the ballistic protection elements at a distance from a vehicle. This device does not however reduce the lateral size of the protections but it only prevents their damage following an impact.

On connaît enfin par le brevet US3137205 un dispositif de fixation d'éléments de protection balistique comportant un rail solidaire des parois latérales d'un véhicule et sur lequel circulent des rouleaux solidaires de l'élément de protection. Ce dispositif assure cependant une protection de la partie avant du véhicule et non des parois latérales.Finally, we know by the patent US3137205 a device for fixing ballistic protection elements comprising a rail integral with the side walls of a vehicle and on which rolls integral with the protection element. This device however provides protection of the front part of the vehicle and not the side walls.

L'invention propose un dispositif de positionnement et fixation de protections balistiques qui permet de résoudre le problème d'encombrement des protections balistiques déportées.The invention proposes a device for positioning and fixing ballistic protections which makes it possible to solve the problem of congestion of remote ballistic protections.

Suivant un mode particulier de réalisation, le dispositif de positionnement et de fixation proposé permet de faciliter l'accès au véhicule malgré la présence des éléments de surprotection.According to a particular embodiment, the proposed positioning and fixing device facilitates access to the vehicle despite the presence of over-protective elements.

Ainsi l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de positionnement et fixation d'au moins un élément de protection balistique sur une structure, telle un véhicule, le dispositif comportant au moins un longeron, pouvant être rendu solidaire de la structure, et recevant un bras télescopique, un moyen support étant solidaire de l'extrémité du ou des bras, l'élément de protection étant attaché au moyen support par un moyen de liaison, de façon à protéger une paroi latérale, bras et longerons étant destinés à être fixés à la structure au niveau du toit de celle-ci, le dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que le moyen support comporte une partie horizontale qui est située au-dessus de l'élément de protection balistique, le moyen de liaison au moyen support comportant au moins une charnière pivotante permettant, par rotation de l'élément de protection, un accès à la paroi.Thus, the subject of the invention is a device for positioning and fixing at least one ballistic protection element on a structure, such as a vehicle, the device comprising at least one spar, which can be made integral with the structure, and receiving an arm telescopic, a support means being integral with the end of the arm or arms, the protection element being attached to the support means by a connecting means, so as to protect a side wall, arm and longitudinal members being intended to be fixed to the structure at the roof thereof, the device being characterized in that the support means comprises a horizontal portion which is located above the ballistic protection element, the connecting means to the support means comprising at least one hinge pivoting allowing, by rotation of the protection element, access to the wall.

Les bras et longerons sont destinés à être fixés à la structure au niveau d'une partie supérieure de celle-ci.The arms and spars are intended to be fixed to the structure at an upper portion thereof.

Avantageusement, la partie horizontale est prolongée à au moins une de ses extrémités par une partie verticale sur laquelle peut être fixé au moins un élément de protection.Advantageously, the horizontal portion is extended at at least one of its ends by a vertical portion on which can be fixed at least one protective element.

Avantageusement, le dispositif comporte au moins un verrou permettant le maintien du bras télescopique en position déployée ou rétractée.Advantageously, the device comprises at least one lock for holding the telescopic arm in the extended or retracted position.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif comporte au moins un moyen de retenue comportant au moins une tige comportant à une première de ses extrémités une jointure pivotante pouvant être rendue solidaire d'une paroi de la structure, tige comportant au niveau d'une deuxième extrémité un moyen de solidarisation avec au moins un élément de protection.According to one characteristic of the invention, the device comprises at least one retaining means comprising at least one rod comprising at one of its ends a pivoting joint that can be secured to a wall of the structure, the rod having at a second end a securing means with at least one protective element.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif comporte au moins un rail d'interface sur lequel sont fixées les jointures pivotantes, rail destiné à être rendu solidaire d'une paroi de la structure.According to a characteristic of the invention, the device comprises at least one interface rail on which are fixed the pivoting joints, rail intended to be secured to a wall of the structure.

L'invention a également pour objet une structure, telle un véhicule, qui est équipée d'au moins un élément de protection balistique qui lui est fixé par un tel dispositif de positionnement et fixation.The invention also relates to a structure, such as a vehicle, which is equipped with at least one ballistic protection element which is fixed to it by such a positioning and fixing device.

La structure selon l'invention conserve un gabarit raisonnable tout en étant dotée d'une protection balistique pouvant être positionnée rapidement.The structure according to the invention retains a reasonable size while being equipped with a ballistic protection that can be positioned quickly.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet une structure, telle un véhicule, qui comporte un toit et deux parois latérales qui sont protégées à l'aide d'au moins un élément de protection balistique qui est fixé à la structure par un dispositif de positionnement et fixation comportant au moins un longeron, pouvant être rendu solidaire de la structure, et recevant un bras télescopique, un moyen support étant solidaire de l'extrémité du ou des bras, l'élément de protection étant attaché au moyen support par un moyen de liaison, bras et longerons étant destinés à être fixés à la structure au niveau du toit de celle-ci.The subject of the invention is therefore a structure, such as a vehicle, comprising a roof and two side walls which are protected by means of at least one ballistic protection element which is fixed to the structure by a positioning device and fastening comprising at least one spar, which can be made integral with the structure, and receiving a telescopic arm, a support means being integral with the end of the arm or arms, the protective element being attached to the support means by a connecting means , arms and spars being intended to be fixed to the structure at the roof thereof.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la structure porte un moyen support au niveau de chaque paroi latérale, chaque moyen support comportant une partie horizontale s'étendant sur sensiblement toute la longueur du toit de la structure.According to a feature of the invention, the structure carries a support means at each side wall, each support means having a horizontal portion extending over substantially the entire length of the roof of the structure.

Avantageusement, chaque longeron fixé au toit de la structure reçoit deux bras télescopiques, chaque bras portant un moyen support situé au niveau d'une paroi latérale différente.Advantageously, each spar fixed to the roof of the structure receives two telescopic arms, each arm carrying a support means located at a different side wall.

Avantageusement, la structure porte un rail d'interface fixé au niveau de chaque paroi latérale, rail s'étendant sur sensiblement toute la longueur de la paroi et sur lequel sont fixées les jointures pivotantes.Advantageously, the structure carries an interface rail fixed at each side wall, rail extending over substantially the entire length of the wall and on which are fixed the pivoting joints.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description suivante, description illustrée par les dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • La figure 1 représente une vue d'ensemble du dispositif en position déployée autour d'un véhicule.
  • La figure 2 représente une vue d'ensemble du dispositif en position rétractée autour d'un véhicule.
  • La figure 3 représente une vue de détail du dispositif en position déployée.
  • La figure 4 représente une vue de détail du dispositif au niveau des moyens de retenue.
  • La figure 5 représente une vue de détail du dispositif en position rétractée.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description, a description illustrated by the appended drawings in which:
  • The figure 1 represents an overall view of the device in the deployed position around a vehicle.
  • The figure 2 represents an overall view of the device in retracted position around a vehicle.
  • The figure 3 represents a detailed view of the device in the deployed position.
  • The figure 4 represents a detailed view of the device at the level of the retaining means.
  • The figure 5 represents a detailed view of the device in the retracted position.

Selon la figure 1, une structure qui est ici un véhicule 100 est protégée par des grilles verticales de protection balistique anti-roquette 101 disposées sur le pourtour du véhicule 100.According to figure 1 , a structure which is here a vehicle 100 is protected by vertical anti-rocket protection racks 101 disposed on the periphery of the vehicle 100.

Les grilles représentées ici sont formées de barreaux parallèles les uns aux autres. Ces grilles sont connues dans le domaine du blindage sous la dénomination anglo-saxonne de "slat armors".The grids shown here are formed of bars parallel to each other. These grids are known in the field of armoring under the name Anglo-Saxon "slat armors".

Les grilles 101 sont maintenues à distance D1 des parois latérales externes 102 du véhicule 100 grâce à un dispositif de positionnement et fixation 1 selon l'invention. Le dispositif de positionnement et fixation 1 est fixé solidairement au véhicule 100 au niveau de plots de fixation 2 placés en superstructure, sur le toit 100a du véhicule 100.The grids 101 are held at a distance D1 from the external lateral walls 102 of the vehicle 100 by means of a positioning and fixing device 1 according to the invention. The positioning and fixing device 1 is fixed integrally to the vehicle 100 at the level of pads fastening 2 placed in the superstructure, on the roof 100a of the vehicle 100.

Chaque plot 2 est solidaire d'au moins un longeron 3 disposé transversalement au sens d'avancement principal du véhicule 100 dans le mode de réalisation représenté, c'est à dire perpendiculairement aux parois latérales 102. Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, chaque extrémité de chacun des longerons 3 est située à la verticale ou en retrait des parois externes 102 du véhicule 100. Pour chaque longeron 3, on prévoit au moins un bras 4 ayant un profil en section qui correspond avec la section interne du longeron 3.Each stud 2 is secured to at least one spar 3 disposed transversely to the main direction of travel of the vehicle 100 in the embodiment shown, ie perpendicular to the side walls 102. According to the embodiment of FIG. figure 1 , each end of each of the longitudinal members 3 is located vertically or in withdrawal from the outer walls 102 of the vehicle 100. For each spar 3, at least one arm 4 having a profile in section corresponding to the internal section of the spar 3 is provided. .

Le bras 4 peut coulisser dans le longeron 3 de manière à être télescopique. Le bras pouvant coulisser entre deux positions extrêmes, dites position déployée et position rétractée, détaillées plus loin.The arm 4 can slide in the beam 3 so as to be telescopic. The arm can slide between two extreme positions, said extended position and retracted position, detailed further.

Comme on le voit sur les figures, le toit 100a du véhicule porte quatre longerons 3. Chaque longeron reçoit deux bras coulissants. Ainsi le même jeu de longerons permet de porter les grilles protégeant les deux parois latérales du véhicule.As seen in the figures, the roof 100a of the vehicle carries four longitudinal members 3. Each spar receives two sliding arms. Thus the same set of side members can carry the grilles protecting the two side walls of the vehicle.

Pour chaque bras 4, son extrémité orientée vers l'extérieur du véhicule 100 comporte un moyen support 5 permettant l'accrochage des grilles de protection 101. Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, le moyen support 5 comporte une partie horizontale 5 tubulaire placée au-dessus, des éléments de protection balistique 101 et s'étendant sur approximativement toute la longueur du véhicule. L'extrémité avant de la partie horizontale 5 comporte une partie verticale 5b s'étendant vers le sol. La partie horizontale 5 comporte des charnières 5a solidarisant chacune des grilles 101 avec le moyen support 5 et formant ainsi un moyen de liaison 5a. Il y a ici deux charnières 5a par grille 101.For each arm 4, its end facing the outside of the vehicle 100 comprises a support means 5 for attaching the protective grids 101. According to the embodiment of FIG. figure 1 the support means 5 comprises a tubular horizontal part placed above it, ballistic protection elements 101 and extending over approximately the entire length of the vehicle. The front end of the horizontal portion 5 has a vertical portion 5b extending towards the ground. The horizontal portion 5 comprises hinges 5a solidarisant each grids 101 with the support means 5 and thus forming a connecting means 5a. There are here two hinges 5a per grid 101.

La plupart des grilles de protection 101 sont ainsi suspendues à la partie horizontale du moyen support 5 qui est située au-dessus des grilles et ne pénalise donc pas l'encombrement latéral du dispositif et ne gêne pas les grilles de protection.Most protective grids 101 are thus suspended from the horizontal part of the support means 5 which is located above the grids and therefore does not penalize the lateral dimensions of the device and does not hinder the protective grids.

Pour les grilles disposées au voisinage des parties verticales 5b du moyen support 5, comme la grille 101a placée vers l'avant du véhicule 100, les charnières 5a solidarisent latéralement la grille à la partie verticale 5b.For the grids disposed in the vicinity of the vertical portions 5b of the support means 5, such as the grid 101a placed towards the front of the vehicle 100, the hinges 5a laterally solidify the grid to the vertical portion 5b.

D'autres moyens classiques de réalisation d'une liaison pivot 5a sont envisageables. Cette liaison pivot 5a à pour fonction de permettre l'accès aux parois du véhicule 100 par un simple pivotement de la grille 101 opérant une rotation de celle-ci autour du moyen support 5 comme illustré à la figure 3.Other conventional means for producing a pivot link 5a are conceivable. This pivot connection 5a has the function of allowing access to the walls of the vehicle 100 by a simple pivoting of the grid 101 rotating it around the support means 5 as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 .

La grille solidaire de la partie verticale 5b du support pourra pivoter par rotation autour de cette partie verticale, autorisant ainsi un accès à des portes latérales avant du véhicule (non représentées).The grid secured to the vertical part 5b of the support can rotate by rotation about this vertical part, thus allowing access to front side doors of the vehicle (not shown).

On remarque sur les figures 1 à 3 que le longeron 3 situé le plus en arrière du véhicule porte aussi des grilles qui protègent la face arrière du véhicule. Ces grilles sont disposées à une distance fixe de la paroi arrière.We notice on Figures 1 to 3 that the spar 3 located further back of the vehicle also carries grilles that protect the rear face of the vehicle. These grids are arranged at a fixed distance from the rear wall.

On notera à la figure 3 que la partie inférieure des parois externes 102 du véhicule comporte des moyens de retenue 6.We will note in figure 3 that the lower part of the outer walls 102 of the vehicle comprises retaining means 6.

Selon la figure 4, chaque moyen de retenue 6 comporte une paire de tiges 6a et 6b solidaires par leur première extrémité d'au moins une grille 101, ou de deux quand la solidarisation se fait au niveau de grilles 101 mitoyennes. Cette solidarisation se fait préférentiellement grâce à un moyen de fixation à attaches rapides 6c, qui comporte ici une plaque 6d contre laquelle vient en appui la grille et une butée profilée 6e coiffant les barreaux de la grille et qui est vissée sur la plaque d'appui 6d. Il y a comme on le voit sur la figure 4 une seule plaque d'appui 6d au niveau de la première extrémité de la tige inférieure 6b et une butée profilée 6e pour chaque grille. La plaque d'appui disposée au niveau de la première extrémité de la tige supérieure 6a est destinée à coopérer avec une seule butée profilée, (non représentée) coiffant les deux grilles mitoyennes.According to figure 4 each retaining means 6 comprises a pair of rods 6a and 6b secured by their first end of at least one grid 101, or two when the solidarization is at the level of grids 101 adjoining. This fastening is preferably done thanks to a fast fastening means 6c, which here comprises a plate 6d against which bears the grid and a profiled stop 6e covering the bars of the grid and which is screwed onto the support plate 6d. There is as we see on the figure 4 a single support plate 6d at the first end of the lower rod 6b and a profiled stop 6e for each grid. The support plate disposed at the first end of the upper rod 6a is intended to cooperate with a single profiled stop (not shown) covering the two adjacent grids.

Chacune des secondes extrémités des tiges 6a, 6b comporte une jointure 103 pivotant chacune selon un axe horizontal 102b parallèle à la paroi 102 du véhicule. Cette jointure 103 est solidaire d'un rail 110 jouant le rôle de pièce d'interface 110 avec des bossages préexistant sur la paroi 102 du véhicule (bossages et paroi non représentés). Ces bossages servent usuellement à la fixation d'accessoires sur l'extérieur du véhicule 100.Each of the second ends of the rods 6a, 6b has a seam 103 pivoting each along a horizontal axis 102b parallel to the wall 102 of the vehicle. This joint 103 is integral with a rail 110 acting as an interface piece 110 with pre-existing bosses on the wall 102 of the vehicle (not shown bosses and wall). These bosses are usually used to attach accessories to the outside of the vehicle 100.

Ce moyen de retenue 6 a pour fonction d'éviter les oscillations et balancements de la grille 101 autour du moyen support 5 lorsque le dispositif 1 est déployé. On notera qu'en position déployée, le dispositif 1 place les grilles 101 sensiblement parallèlement aux parois 102 du véhicule 100 et à une distance D1 comprise entre 0,25 et 0,90 mètres de la paroi externe 102 du véhicule 100.The purpose of this retaining means 6 is to prevent oscillations and swings of the grid 101 around the support means 5 when the device 1 is deployed. Note that in the deployed position, the device 1 places the grids 101 substantially parallel to the walls 102 of the vehicle 100 and at a distance D1 between 0.25 and 0.90 meters from the outer wall 102 of the vehicle 100.

Selon la figure 2, le dispositif 1 est représenté en position rétractée. Dans cette position, chaque bras 4 est enfoncé télescopiquement dans le longeron 3 avec lequel il correspond. Le montage télescopique obtenu par la correspondance entre la section externe des bras et la section interne des longerons 3, permet de plaquer les grilles 101 aux parois externes 102 du véhicule 100, ou tout au moins de les placer au voisinage des parois 102 à une distance D2 comprise entre 0 et 0,1 mètre. Ainsi le gabarit du véhicule 100 n'est que très faiblement impacté par l'ajout de grilles de protection 101. Les moyens de retenue 6 sont quant à eux pivotés et plaqués le long des parois 102 du véhicule 100 afin de ne pas faire obstacle au rapprochement des grilles 101 vers le véhicule 100.According to figure 2 , the device 1 is shown in the retracted position. In this position, each arm 4 is pressed telescopically into the spar 3 with which it corresponds. The telescopic assembly obtained by the correspondence between the external section of the arms and the internal section of the longitudinal members 3, allows to press the grids 101 to the outer walls 102 of the vehicle 100, or at least to place them in the vicinity of the walls 102 at a distance D2 between 0 and 0.1 meter. Thus, the gauge of the vehicle 100 is only very slightly impacted by the addition of protective grids 101. The retaining means 6 are themselves pivoted and pressed along the walls 102 of the vehicle 100 in order not to hinder the bringing the gates 101 closer to the vehicle 100.

Le maintien des bras 4 en position déployée ou rétractée vis à vis des longerons 3 est assuré par un verrou 8 (visible à la figure 5) comportant une goupille 8b traversant le longeron 3 et le bras 4 au niveau d'un perçage (non visible) en position déployée et d'un autre perçage 8a du bras en position rétractée. La translation du bras 4 dans le longeron 3 est ainsi bloquée.The holding of the arms 4 in the extended or retracted position with respect to the longitudinal members 3 is ensured by a lock 8 (visible at the figure 5 ) having a pin 8b passing through the spar 3 and the arm 4 at a bore (not visible) in the extended position and another bore 8a of the arm in the retracted position. The translation of the arm 4 in the spar 3 is thus blocked.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre pour fixer des protections balistiques à une structure fixe, par exemple un abri de commandement ou un hôpital de campagne. Le dispositif et la structure équipée selon l'invention permettent un déploiement et un repli facile et rapide des moyens de protection, avec un impact sur le gabarit qui est réduit. Ceci est plus particulièrement intéressant pour les véhicules.The device according to the invention can be implemented to fix ballistic protections to a fixed structure, for example a command shelter or a field hospital. The device and the structure equipped according to the invention allow an easy and quick deployment and retreat of the protection means, with an impact on the template which is reduced. This is particularly interesting for vehicles.

Le dispositif étant fixé au niveau du toit de la structure, il a un encombrement latéral réduit au minimum. Les moyens supports étant disposés au-dessus des éléments de protection balistique ils ne réduisent pas l'efficacité de ces derniers.The device being fixed at the level of the roof of the structure, it has a minimal lateral space requirement. The support means being disposed above the ballistic protection elements they do not reduce the effectiveness of the latter.

Il est bien entendu possible de mettre en oeuvre l'invention avec des moyens de protection balistiques de structures différentes, par exemple des filets, des plaques de blindage, des grilles ou grillages souples...It is of course possible to implement the invention with ballistic protection means of different structures, for example nets, shielding plates, grids or flexible grids ...
