TRANSPORTER-LAUNCHER CONTAINER Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F41F3/00 

FIELD: weaponry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to missilery, in particular, to transporter-launcher containers (TLC) intended for storing, transporting and launching missiles to be launched in a "motor" way and operated integrated with vertical and inclined launchers of marine carriers as well as of ground self-propelled launchers (SPL). The TLC front face incorporates circular bearing flange with its shoulder furnished with the vertical launcher fastening element holes and with groove to orient the TLC with respect to hill. The TLC housing has, at least, two circular supports extending beyond its OD, while the housing rear face section features holes intended for inclined launcher fastening elements or for launching support designed to operate TLC incorporates with SPL. The TLC bottom accommodates a connector assembly and, in compliance with one of the possible versions, there can be arranged the assemblies for interaction with the vertical launcher grippers.

EFFECT: complete unitisation of TLV design for marine carriers and partial unification for SPL systems, except for easy-to-detach assembly units; lower costs of referencing missiles for launching from ground, lower costs of production and operation.
