Abstract

A mine clearance device, mountable in use on a vehicle such as a crane, comprises a body with plurality of fingers. The fingers are individually pivotable on the body and are, in use drawn across the ground in order to contact unexploded ordnance.

Description

TheHand Qescription The hand,is a dcvice,designeci to destroy,both,surrace mines,and also anti-personnel ouines,without incurring any dacnage,to the device itself.
It ma be,that the mobile crane,which pushes the device,may also need some form of protection,frop, any form of blast.this could be provided by fitting a heavy rubber skirt,to the-front of the.crane. ( this is jiot depicted, ).
Figure 1 on page.1 of 6 shows the device deployed.
Page 2 of 6,shows.a plan view,of thédevice.ltfeatures detail A,which is the metacarpusalso détailB,which is. one of multiple finger segments, Also shown,are the lifting points. But these are highlighted, ott' Page3 of 6.
Page 3,of 6, This shows a partial 4bv of the device( all of detail A, plus a portion of detail B;).. . . Detail C,shows the end of the spindle,this is a continuous length of steel, this runs th entire length,ctf the device,connecting the finger segments,to them metacarpus. There would be a thin washeE,( anhulis) between finger segments, These should be made from a niateriai,that will assist in the free,and independent thovement,of the finger segments.
These are not shown.
Detail D,This shows the strenthenedknuckle,arouncj thr spindle.
Each knuckle sectiàn would have,a. sthall sealable holC. drilled in the top,to llow for lubrication,of the'spindle( omitted For clarity).
: Page.:Sof 6, also shows DetailE. Which are Doubler plates.One is : ttached, to both sides of Detail Aat the lifting points,to strenthen * the lifting areas.
Page 4 of 6.This éhows both a plan view,and also,a side view of detail *. B,a finger segment. This also shows detail C,the spindle.
* Detail F,is a plan view or the sides of the finger segrnent,which are shown to have a slope,from theknuckie to the extreme end.A view from the rear,is shownbn Page 6 of 6. . . Page 5 of 6. View:;A-A. as depicti,on Page,) of 6,is shown more cleárly.this shows detail ffe4hese stengthen the two lifting points.
Page 6 of 6.This includes a view bfDetaij 6, as seen from the extreme * end,this highlights detail F.The putpose of the 4opirig sides,is to prevent one Fimger segment,from riding up on its neighbour.
To hold the finger segments in position,ablind ho-le,.is drilled and tapped,ir both ends of the spindle.Detail C; is a steel plate,With a clear hole.one of these i fitted at either end of the spindle,this is Followed by Detail I-l,this being a bolt. -.
