Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9924775A1] The invention relates to a projectile stopping device provided for dampening the noise resulting from the impact of projectiles, for slowing the projectiles and for simplifying the recovery of the same. The individual stopping curtains (27 to 29), said curtains being distanced from one another in a direction (1) of fire, of the inventive device are comprised of suspended steel cables. The stopping cables (26) are accommodated in upper and lower sides of similarly composed receiving devices and are connected to guides (32), said guides also being similarly composed, via the receiving devices. The fastening of stopping cables on said guides and the arrangement thereof inside a curtain are designed in such a way that, in the case of a deviation, each stopping cable is always subjected to a restoring force which carries the stopping cable back to its initial position. The projectiles inside a firing range which impact on stopping curtains, said curtains being produced according to the invention, cause the steel cables to deviate both in the planes of the individual stopping curtains as well as vertical to the stopping curtains. After having been slowed, the projectiles can be caught on both sides and delivered to an arranged collector.
