Abstract
This invention relates to a system and method of armed forces vehicle seating which minimizes the potential for injury to occupants when the vehicle is subjected to a landmine or similar explosive device. The seats are floor- or ceiling-mounted and isolate the occupants from the chassis of the vehicle via a pneumatic or other shock absorber.
These seats can also be combined with shock absorbing/isolating foot rests, appendage (leg) restrain systems and an occupant four-point harness to offer a completely integrated system. This integrated system reduces acceleration/deceleration related injuries, shock injuries to the lower legs, flailing injuries to the lower legs and internal collision injuries. Other options and alternatives are also described.

Description
r Blast Protection Seat BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Field of Invention This invention relates to the seating utilized in vehicles used by armed forces to provide strategic and tactical support on modern battlefields and in all areas where land mines have been placed by a defined enemy or insurgent force. The blast protection seats of the invention are designed specifically for use in armoured and/or non-tracked vehicles to minimize the potential for injury to occupants when the vehicle detonates a mine. The risk of injury is significantly reduced by isolating the occupants from the chassis of the vehicle (thereby minimizing shock induced injuries) and restraining appendages, including the head (thereby minimizing flailing and whiplash related injuries).

The risk of injury is significantly reduced by isolating the occupants from the chassis of the vehicle (thereby minimizing shock induced injuries) and restraining appendages, including the head (thereby minimizing flailing and whiplash related injuries).
2. Description of Prior Art The requirement for crew mine blast protection in armoured vehicles has been an element of the technical specifications for many years. Previous solutions have centered on the philosophy that adding more armour plating would deflect the blast.
However, there is a limit to the amount of additional armour that vehicles can accommodate without severely limiting their capabilities. Some current vehicle platforms consider weight as a critical, performance related factor. As a result, a lighter more efficient mine blast protection solution is essential.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION - Floor Mounted Embodiment AVC has furthered the state-of-the-art in pneumatically adjustable, floor mounted mine blast protection seats. The uniqueness of the AVC solution is the integration of an overall shock reduction system combined with shock absorbing/isolating foot rests and appendage (leg) restrain systems to further isolate the crew's lower extremities from the mine blast effect.
Operational and scientific experience has demonstrated the impact of mine blasts on vehicles and on the occupants of the vehicles. Seated occupants inside a vehicle subjected to a mine blast, experience:
~ A vertical acceleration associated with the initial detonation of the mine;
~ A brief period of weightlessness as the vehicle and the personnel reach the apogee (maximum height);
~ A vertical deceleration associated with the vehicle and occupants hitting the ground;
~ Pitching and flailing due to movement/rotation of the vehicle and the occupants; and ~ Internal collisions between the body of the occupant and the inside of the vehicle.
The magnitude and duration of the G (gravitational multiplier) loading to which the occupants are subjected will vary depending on the size of the explosive, its depth in the ground, the condition of the ground, the type of vehicle and the type of seating being utilized. A "perfect" vertical acceleration never occurs because the mine is usually detonated when a front corner (wheel or section of tread) passes over it. As a result the mine blast imparts an off-centre rotation, or pitching motion, to the vehicle/occupants in conjunction with the vertical acceleration.
A typical mine explosion (8 kg anti-tank mine) will impart a 200 G load on the vehicle.
The configuration of the vehicle seating and suspension and the location of the explosion, with regard to the occupants, will result in the occupants of the vehicle experiencing approximately 80 Gs. Pulse durations are usually in the 10 ms range.
Scientific data indicates that the human body can tolerate approximately 20 G
pulses for ms without experiencing injury.
The present invention is a floor mounted, pneumatically adjustable seating system that significantly reduces the levels of injury experienced by occupants in a vehicle subjected to a land mine blast. Specifically:

The magnitude and duration of the G (gravitational multiplier) loading to which the occupants are subjected will vary depending on the size of the explosive, its depth in the ground, the condition of the ground, the type of vehicle and the type of seating being utilized. A "perfect" vertical acceleration never occurs because the mine is usually detonated when a front corner (wheel or section of tread) passes over it.

Scientific data indicates that the human body can tolerate approximately 20 G
pulses for ms without experiencing injury.
The present invention is a floor mounted, pneumatically adjustable seating system that significantly reduces the levels of injury experienced by occupants in a vehicle subjected to a land mine blast. Specifically:
~ Acceleration/deceleration related injuries are reduced by attenuating the level of shock transmitted from the vehicle chassis to the occupants. This is accomplished by decoupling the occupant from the vehicle chassis by means of a multiple link pedestal, consisting of a shock absorbing system. This system allows the seated occupant to move with respect to the vehicle during the high G acceleration (initial explosion) and high G deceleration (return to ground) thereby decreasing the shock levels experienced by occupant.
~ Shock injuries to the lower legs are reduced by isolating the occupant's feet/legs from the floor of the vehicle.
~ Flailing injuries to the lower legs are reduced by restraining the occupant's legs such that they cannot move significantly with respect to the occupant's torso.
~ Internal collision injuries are reduced by restraining the occupant to the seat with a four point restraint system.
In use the Floor Mounted Mine Blast Protection Seat (FMMBPS) is mounted to the floor of the crew cab of the vehicle. The occupant sits on the seat and places his/her feet on the foot supports, which isolate the feet from the floor. The occupant will restrain themselves in the FMMBPS with the 4 point harness system and restrain their legs with the footlleg restraint straps.
In the event of a mine detonation, the vehicle will accelerate upwards due to the force of the explosion and experience a maximum G loading. The shock attenuation system will decouple the seat assembly from the vehicle so that the seat will not move as quickly or as far as the vehicle chassis, thereby exposing the occupant to significantly less G
loading than the vehicle chassis experiences. Since the occupant's torso is restrained in the seat with the 4 point harness and the feet/legs are restrained with the foot/leg restraints, the potential for flailing injury is decreased.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION - Ceiling Mounted Embodiment Mounting the seat system to the ceiling has been identified as an important design philosophy due to the potentially injurious effects associated with a mine blast shock being transmitted through the floor of a vehicle and the floor buckling up into the vehicle.
This is of particular concern in tracked vehicles with low ground clearance.
Attempts have been made to develop a ceiling mounted solution, however, there has not yet been a successful ceiling mounted seat system developed for the world market. The uniqueness of the AVC solution is the integration of an overall shock reduction system combined with shock absorbing foot rests and appendage (leg) restrain systems to further isolate the crew's lower extremities from the mine blast effect.

The present invention is a ceiling mounted seating system that significantly reduces the levels of injury experienced by occupants in a vehicle subjected to a land mine blast.
Specifically:
~ Acceleration/deceleration related injuries are reduced by attenuating the level of shock transmitted from the vehicle chassis to the occupants. This is accomplished by decoupling the occupant from the vehicle chassis by means of a single, central pedestal, consisting of a shock absorbing system. This system allows the seated occupant to move with respect to the vehicle during the high G acceleration (initial explosion) and high G deceleration (return to ground) thereby decreasing the shock levels experienced by occupant.
~ Shock injuries to the lower legs are reduced by isolating the occupant's feet/legs from the floor of the vehicle.
~ Flailing injuries to the lower legs are reduced by restraining the occupant's legs such that they cannot move significantly with respect to the occupant's torso.
~ Internal collision injuries are reduced by restraining the occupant to the seat with a four point restraint system.
In use the Ceiling Mounted Mine Blast Protection Seat (CMMBPS) is mounted to the ceiling of the armoured vehicle. The seat assembly can be quickly stowed by folding the bottom of the seat up against the back of the seat. The leg supports swing up against the head rest. When stowed, the seat is quickly/easily secured in place with a strap. In the stowed position occupants can exit the vehicle without obstruction.
To facilitate the occupant sitting in the seat the stowage strap is quickly disconnected such that the seat lowers into its °ready° position. The occupant sits on the seat and places his/her feet on the foot supports, which isolate the feet from the floor. The occupant will restrain themselves in the CMMBPS with the 4-point harness system and restrain their legs by using the foot/leg restrain straps.
In the event of a mine detonation, the vehicle will accelerate upwards due to the force of the explosion and experience a maximum G loading. The shock attenuation system will decouple the seat assembly from the vehicle so that the seat will not move as quickly or as far as the vehicle chassis, thereby exposing the occupant to significantly less G
loading than the vehicle chassis experiences. Since the occupant's torso is restrained in the seat with the 4-point harness and the feet/legs are restrained with the foot/leg restraints, the potential for flailing injury is decreased.
