Vehicle mounted apparatus for burying mines

摘要

The mine layer is mounted on a vehicle and consists of a rotary arm (3) with a holder (13) on its end designed to pick up objects one at a time from a magazine and plant them in the ground as it rotates. The arm is equipped with a drive (1) which turns it forwards in relation to the direction of travel. The arm can be extendable in length; it can also slide relative to the drive's axis of rotation and be spring-loaded. The drive itself is in the form of a wheel with a diametrical channel (5) in which the arm can slide, and the spring can be a traction spring or a hydraulic recuperator.
