MODULAR MULTI-SEAT SHIPBOARD LAUNCHER OF VERTICAL LAUNCH Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F41F3/04 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: launchers (L) of surface vessels (SV) are intended for storage, transportation and launching of missiles from missile launching canisters (MLC). On front horizontal belt of truss carcass of a launcher there are plates mounted, every of which is intended for installation of a single MLC and is equipped with a device of its longitudinal shock-absorption. Specified device consists of detachable support ring arranged with the possibility of fixation to front bearing flange of MLC and at least two pairs of elastic elements of single-sided but oppositely directed action. Stems of one pair of elastic elements rest against lower surface of support ring, and stems of other pair contact with upper surface of support ring. Wedge bracket is fixed on plate surface to interact with slot in shelf of bearing flange that determines MLC position by careen. Plate is mounted onto truss carcass with the possibility of rotation around longitudinal axis of launcher by the angle of 90 degrees. Upper horizontal belt is installed on cantilever ends of elastic stands in launcher truss carcass and forms upper belt of transverse shock absorption for all MLC arranged in launcher. Lower belt of transverse shock absorption is formed for devices individual for each MLC and arranged as several double-support beams fixed on truss carcass. Ring interacting with support on side surface of MLC is mounted on cantilever ends of beams. Double-support beams have at least two belts of seats on launcher truss carcass spaced along height, and ring interacting with support of MLC is arranged as replaceable.

EFFECT: location of MLC with various dimensions on launcher, their shock absorption in longitudinal and transverse directions, possibility to install launcher along or across diametral plane of SV.
