METHOD TO MANUFACTURE MOSAIC ARMOURED UNIT AND MOSAIC ARMOURED UNIT Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F41H5/04 F41H1/02 

FIELD: weapon and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: armoured elements are arranged in layers with their pressing by metal shell. At the same time armoured elements are arranged as spherical, metal shell is made of face and back sheets with walls from section material. Layers of spherical armoured elements are laid onto face sheet with contact of elements between each other, and elements of even layer are arranged in grooves between elements of odd layer to provide for staggered order of elements arrangement. Besides, pressing is arranged as elastic, inside layer - by pressing of elements with walls sections bars and fixation of the latter between each other and with face sheet, and between layers there is an elastic pressing of elements provided due to thickness and quantity of layers of ballistic cloth and fixation with section bars of back sheet walls, which are used to cover layers of ballistic cloth. Mosaic armoured unit 1 comprises armoured elements 2, arranged in layers with their pressing 3 by metal shell 4. Armoured elements 2 are arranged as spherical, arranged with contact to each other inside layer and between layers. At the same time elements of even layer are arranged in grooves between elements 2 of odd layer with provision of staggered order of elements 2 arrangement. At the same time pressing 3 of elements 2 is arranged as elastic, shell 4 is made of face 5 and back 6 sheets with walls 7 from section material, and back sheet 6 is equipped from inside with layers of ballistic cloth 8.

EFFECT: development of more manufacturable armoured unit, higher reliability of operation.
