Definitions

the present invention relates to an absorption projectile arrester.
the invention concerns an absorption projectile arrester of the cartridge type, particularly suitable for the 3 ⁇ class firearms (up to 3000 J).
DE-A-2,839,509 describes an absorption projectile arrester insertable within a container, having the surface faced toward the shooters made up of a rubber shield.
GB-A-2,242,780 describes a projectile arrester having all the walls except that faced toward the shooters made up of ballistic sheet, a shield made up of an elastic self-sealing material, behind which granular material is provided, the thrust of the granular material being sustained by said shield.
the projectile arrester provided according to the present invention realizes an extremely easy solution under a constructive point of view.
Another object of the present invention is that of providing a projectile arrester easily transportable, particularly, although not exclusively, within ISO containers.
an absorption projectile arrester of the type insertable within a container having all the walls, except the wall faced toward the shooters, made up of ballistic sheet, and the surface of the projectile arrester faced toward the shooters is made up of a rubber shield, behind the shield granular material being provided, and between said granular material and said shield means for sustaining the thrust of the granular material being provided, characterized in that said means for sustaining the thrust of the granular material are comprised of a plurality of vertical elements and in that a layer allowing the passage of the undeformed projectiles is provided, said layer does not tearing or permanently deforming after the passage of the projectiles.
said ballistic sheets have a total inner lining.
said projectile arrester is contained within an ISO container having dimension normally transportable.
said shield faced toward the shooters is realized by para rubber and is perimetrically fixed.
said means for sustaining the thrust of the granular material are made up of a plurality of hardened steel vertical elements, fixed to the ballistic sheets of the floor and of the roof, and said layer is made up of a plastic diaphragm transparent with respect to the projectiles and realized with a material that does not tear for the passage of the same undeformed projectiles, i.e. the projectiles that have not previously impacted against other structures of the projectile arrester, and the closes again after the passage of the projectile.
said means for sustaining the thrust and said layer are made up of a plurality of blocks of plastic material with a very high ductility, provided in such a way that they close all the surface faced toward the shooters, and that allow the passage of the projectiles without cracks and able to sustain the horizontal thrust.
said means for sustaining the thrust and said layer are made up of a layer comprised of pressed and glued elastomeric granular material blocks.
said means for sustaining the thrust and said layer are made up of rubber vertical elements.
an inspection passage reachable by the operators can be provided behind said back wall of the projectile arrester.
said granular material placed behind the front shield is elastomeric granular material.
Said projectile arrester 1 can be installed within already existing rooms.
Said surface faced toward the shooters is closed by a para rubber shield 3, perimetrically fixed.
the vertical elements are suitable to sustain the thrust of the elastomeric granular material 5 provided behind them.
a plastic diaphragm 6 is provided, having features making it "transparent" with respect to the projectiles striking it with a direct trajectory.
said diaphragm 6 allows the passage of the projectile without any deformation of the same along the thickness of the diaphragm, without being torn and closing again after the passage of the projectile.
the granular material 5 provided behind said diaphragm will have a suitable thickness in order to absorb the energy of the projectiles shoot by the abovementioned type of arms, corresponding to 3600 J.
the solution proposed according to the present invention is particularly advantageous since allows to absorb projectile of the third class firearms without deforming the projectiles, thus avoiding the problems connected with the production of harmful vapors as occurs in the traditional projectile arresters.
blocks 8 are provided realized using pressed and glued elastomeric granular material.
