Abstract
A mine extractor for removing buried mines having a plurality of leaf springs disposed in parallel side by side relationship and mounted on a common support. The extractor further comprises adjacent auxiliary springs and thereby forming additional batteries, a slide attached to the springs and adapted to slide on its bottom on the ground and/or an apparatus for swinging a beam and the slide with respect to a base to lift the slide from the ground.
Claims19
Mine extractor comprising.
- a frame mountable in front of a vehicle;
- at least one battery of leaf springs, the leaf springs being disposed parallel and side-by-side to one another and mounted on a common support, each of said springs having a tip and being so formed and mounted as to slide with the tip on the ground;
- means for attaching said battery of leaf springs to the vehicle at desired angles to one another;
- and
- said battery of leaf springs being carried by the frame, which comprises a slide, a beam to which said slide is pivotally connected, said beam being pivotally connected to a base.
