TRANSPARENT ARMOUR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ITS MANUFACTURE

摘要

The transparent armour system which is designated especially for bullet-proof windows and observation slits of mobile transport armoured vehicles, consisting of transparent armour (1) and external protective movable louver (7) with tilting lamellas (8,9), when between the steel tilting lamellas (8) of the external protective movable louver (7) there is inserted minimally one transparent tilting lamella (9) and the transparent armour (1) is, at least in the area under the transparent tilting lamella (9) and at the same height level, fitted with minimally one transparent hard layer from single crystal sapphire (4). The transparent armour (1) is created by a composite set of sandwiched transparent glass and/or polymer layers (2) that are interconnected with transparent adhesive layers (6), when the transparent hard layer from single crystal sapphire (4) is created by panel segments (4.1) which are laterally interconnected together into minimally one strip, inserted into at least one transparent glass and/or polymer layer (2), and create a part of the window or observation slit on the level of the driver's direct view. The panel segments (4.1) of the transparent hard layer from single crystal sapphire (4) are manufactured parallelly with and/or with angle deviation of up to + 45° from its crystallographic planes whose interplanar distance is 3.1 to 3.9 A
