ROAD MINE-SWEEPING VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: military engineering, applicable for clearing of mines installed on roads. SUBSTANCE: the roller working members are positioned over the entire length of the transverse frame, and their side-walls are installed individually in the frame ears. The roller side-walls are made compound, where the part of the side-wall with the road wheel spindle-road wheel arm and the roller and road wheel separated at a mine explosion rests against the thrust journal of the side-wall and gets fixed with the latter by the sheared member. The geometric dimensions and the strength characteristics of the mentioned member provide for its destruction at a blast of the anti-tank mine and allow quick installation of the roller with the roller arm taken from the spare set of the working members. The clearances between the rollers in the clearing equipment does not exceed the dimension of the pressure surface of the mine detonating fuse. EFFECT: the roadway covering remains intact at motion of the road vehicle, quick replacement of the clearing components. 7 cl, 6 dwg
