<p>The present invention relates to a device for deflecting or diverting spent cartridge cases that are expelled by a firearm located on a helicopter, wherein said device is located on the outer part of the weapon as a kind of cover, specifically being located in the compartment or ejector via which the spent cartridge cases for the bullets fired at a specific moment in time are expelled, with a view to providing protection in the event of unanticipated detonation, which may compromise the life of the operator or gunner firing said weapon. Thus, the device makes it possible to discard the spent cartridge cases away from the aircraft so that they do not fall inside the aircraft and cannot create a problem owing to the temperature and speed at which said spent cartridge cases are expelled from the weapon. Furthermore, the deflector or diverter device has fixing points that correspond directly to the fixing points on the weapon and the weapon can be fitted without the need for modification, which facilitates the installation thereof and makes the device suitable for use in many aircraft and with many types of weapon.</p> |
