Abstract: A protection device for a vehicle cab having a floor and two vertical side walls, the device including an armor plate below and substantially parallel to the floor of the cab, and deformable compartmented caissons connected between the floor and the armor plate and under the side walls of the cab, each compartmented caisson having buckleable walls dimensioned to buckle upon shock impact to the exterior of the armor plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an armored door (5) for the crew compartment of a vehicle or fixed shelter, such door intended to block an opening (10) into the compartment and incorporating a structure (7) to the exterior of which at least one armor plate (12) is fastened. The armor plate (12) is fixed at a distance from the structure (7) and is separate from said structure by first deformable intermediate means (14) able to absorb part of the energy of a shock, the armor plate (12) having, furthermore, dimensions that are greater than those of the structure (7), and second deformable intermediate means (15) positioned between the rim (R) of the armor plate (12) and a wall (8) of the compartment surrounding the opening (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a seat (1) for an armored vehicle, incorporating a back rest (2) integral with a wall or the roof (4) of the vehicle and a sitting part (3) mounted able to pivot with respect to the back rest (2) between a folded position in which it is substantially parallel to the back rest (2) and an unfolded position where it is held by a limit stop and is substantially perpendicular to the back rest (2). This seat is characterized in that the sitting part (3) is connected to the back rest (2) by linking means (6, 8) ensuring, in the event of a predetermined load, the release of the limit stop (8) of the sitting part (3) and its pivoting beyond the unfolded position.

Abstract: The invention relates to an armoured cab (2) for a vehicle, such cab incorporating at least one floor (8) onto which at least one side wall (2a, 2b, 14a, 14b) is attached. This cab (2) is characterised in that floor (8) and/or at least one side wall is constituted by an armoured plate having at least one curved zone (13a, 13b) that at least partially covers the mechanical organ (12) or the mobility means (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a protection device (9) for the floor (8) of a vehicle cab (2), device comprising at least one armour plate (10) that is arranged at a distance from the cab floor (8) and which is connected to the latter by deformable linking means. In this device at least one of the deformable linking means is constituted by a compartmented caisson (11), that is fastened to the cab (2) on a substantially vertical lateral partition (2a, 2b) of the latter, the compartmented caisson (11) comprising at least two walls (12a, 12b) that are substantially perpendicular to the armour plate (10) and which are integral firstly with a lower wall (14) on which the armour plate (10) presses and secondly with an upper wall (13) which presses on the cab (2), the walls (12a, 12b) having dimensions such that they buckle on impact.

Abstract: A protection device for the floor of a land vehicle against mines, said device comprising at least one caisson with a convex external surface oriented towards the ground wherein said caisson incorporates a median part arranged between two lateral walls and extending over the full length of said caisson, the median part of said caisson being of a thickness (E) greater than that (e) of said lateral walls and being designed so as to transmit the stress, when a mine detonates, towards said lateral walls.
