Double armor plate construction

摘要

A double armor plate construction, especially for the housing of armored vehicles, with inner and outer armor plates and with elastic buffers therebetween, distributed over the inside of the armor plates. The buffers consist primarily of natural or synthetic rubber material and have a substantially cylindrical shape. One end of the buffers is connected to a base plate fastened to the inner armor plate, whereas the other end of the buffers is respectively connected to adjacent holding screws extending through the outer armor plate. The holding screws are threadedly connected to bushings within the buffers so that the buffers are secured against movements in the axial direction thereof and transverse thereto. The bushings are provided with inner partially elastic metallic reinforcements which absorb thrust forces, especially those transverse to the central longitudinal axes of said buffers.
