Support device for the gun sight of a military vehicle

摘要

The invention relates to a support device for the gun sight of a military vehicle, incorporating a head to which the gun sight is fastened and a foot which is integral with the vehicle, the head being integral with a column with a vertical axis which is introduced into the foot, the column being made integral with the foot by spring means wherein the spring means are constituted in the form of tongues arranged along at least two parallel planes perpendicular to the vertical axis of the support, each plane incorporating at least three tongues evenly spaced angularly around the column and integral with it by a first end and integral with the foot by their second end, these spring means imparting stiffness to the link between the column and the foot that is less along the vertical axis than along the other directions (X, Y) orthogonal to this vertical axis.

主权项

1. A support device for a gun sight of a military vehicle, the support device comprising:
a head to which said gun sight is fastenable; a foot which is attachable to said vehicle; a column that is integral with the head, the column having a center axis oriented along a center axis of the foot; and a plurality of springs that connect the column to the foot, each spring having (i) a length in a length direction extending between the column and the foot, (ii) a thickness in a thickness direction parallel to the center axis and perpendicular to the length direction, and (iii) a width in a width direction perpendicular to the center axis and perpendicular to the length direction, wherein the springs each have a rectilinear tongue portion arranged along at least one plane perpendicular to the center axis of the foot, the thickness of each spring being less than the width, each spring applying an urging force in a direction transverse to its length direction when the column moves relative to the foot.
