A device for rapid removal/reinstallation of a back of a seat of a vehicle, the back being attached, by at least one first strap, to a ceiling. The device includes a hanging intermediary structure and a fixed structure integral with the ceiling and retaining the structure in the use position of the seat, in which it has been brought with an upward movement, and locking the structure in the use position or unlocking it such that it is moved away from the ceiling to release the tension exerted by the first strap and allow the structure to be disengaged from the retaining unit. The back can thus be removed or reinstalled without any action on the tension setting of the strap.

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.

Floor protection device for vehicle cab

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

Armoured door for a crew compartment

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

Seat for armoured vehicle

A protection device to close the gun slit (or opening) of a mount, such gun slit delimited by two lateral flanges and two end flanges and in which pivots or moves a mobile organ carrying a mobile wall positioned between the exterior and interior of the mount, device which comprises at least one flexible bellows integral on one side with an end flange of the gun slit and on the other with the mobile organ (), such device wherein the bellows and wall delimit an intermediate chamber that is linked to the internal space () of the mount, such space being pressurized by pressurization means.

Device to close the gun slit or opening

A device to reduce the visible and infrared signature of a military combat vehicle by diluting the engine's exhaust and cooling gases. The device includes a caisson receiving both sources of heat flow to ensure a single outlet for both the exhaust gases and the cooling air. The caisson is constituted by an enclosure and a shutter. The enclosure ensures a homogeneous mixture of the two fluids and the shuttering provides a way by which the mixture is evacuated. The air outlet of the dilution device may be positioned between the axles of a wheeled-type vehicle.
