  • Patent number: 3956988
    Abstract: A position-independent dispersable land mine, in particular a hollow charge land mine for combatting wheeled or tracked vehicles, especially those which are armored includes an outer body which may be of a surface of revolution, such as a tube, and which carries an inner spherical member which is secured to the tube so that it is oriented in a fixed position in respect to the axis thereof. A second hollow spherical member is located inside the first hollow spherical member and it is faced away from the interior wall of the first spherical member by projecting elements which permits a relative rotation between the two spherical members. A hollow charge is contained within the interior of the inside second spherical member and it is mounted within a casing having a weight secured to one side so that the hollow liner of the hollow charge is oriented in a particular direction for example, such as that it extends normal to the axis of the tubular member.
