Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connection for shell plates of armored vehicles, and more particularly, to shell plates which are disposed in an angular, planar, or stepwise or staggered relationship, particularly with the formation of a hollow space.
  • connection of armor plates must meet the requirements of being joinable in a simple manner and being able to withstand high stresses.
  • the coupled components have sections cooperating with one another in a claw-like fashion, which sections are held in place by screws or rivets.
  • the disadvantage of this construction is that means must be provided at the edges of the plates, thereby causing high tool and machining expenses.
  • the problem underlying the present invention resides in providing edge and butt joints for plates which can be put under a high stress and yet can be readily assembled. In this connection, the accurate and therefore expensive fitting operations carried out on the conventional armor plates are to be eliminated.
  • profile bars intended for joining the shell plates have shoulders constructed as receiving or mounting sections for edges of the plates.
  • the profile bars preferably have receiving sections for the edges of the plates. It is advantageous to provide that the receiving sections of the profile bars of the plates have shoulders arranged in a stepwise or staggered fashion.
  • the shoulders of the profile bar are preferably connected to the edges of the walls of the shell by conventional means such as welding.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a shell of an armored vehicle
  • FIG. 2 is a section corresponding to FIG. 1, of another embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
  • the illustrated vehicle 1 comprises a running mechanism 2 and a shell 3.
  • a rotatably mounted turret 4 is provided above the shell 3.
  • the shell 3 comprises outer walls 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and inner walls 10, 11, 12, arranged at an angle with respect to one another and constituting annor plates.
  • the inner walls 10, 11, 12 are disposed with respect to the outer walls 6, 7, 8 so as to form hollow spaces 13, 14, 15.
  • Profile strips 16, 17, 18, 19, which are adapted to the configuration of the shell walls and constructed as hollow or solid bodies, are provided for connecting the outer walls 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and the inner walls 10, 11, 1'2, with each other.
  • the profile strips 16, 18, 19 are formed by solid members which basically are of identi-' cal construction.
  • the profile strip 17 is composed of a hollow body forming the tip of the front end of the shell.
  • Each profile strip has shoulders 20, 21, which are formed as receiving sections for the edges of the outer walls 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or inner walls 10, 11, 12, respectively.
  • the outer walls 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and the inner walls 10, ll, 12 are connected to the profile strips 16, 17, 18, 19 by conventional connecting means such as, for example, welding.
  • the exterior surface portions 27, 28, 29, 30 of the profile strips are arranged so as to present a continuous uninterrupted surface in conjunctionwith the respective adjacent outer walls 6, 7, 8, 9.
  • the tip of the front end of the shell 3 is formed by a profile strip 22 having shoulders 23, 24 and 25, 26, arranged in a stepwise or staggered manner.
  • the walls 6, l0 and 7, 11 are attached to the profile strips 22 by conventional means such as welding. Due to the stepwise arrangement of shoulders 23, 24 and 25, 26 of the profile bar 22, it is possible to effect the installation and attachment of the walls 6, 10 and 7, 1 1 from common planes, which represents a substantial simplification of the assembly operation.
  • radiation-protective means are provided in the hollow spaces 13, 14, 15 of the shell 3; such radiation-protective means can consist of liquid, gaseous, or solid substances.
  • profile bar means includes two first shoulder means disposed at an angle with respect to one another for connecting to two exterior shell plates.
