ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for clearing land mines. The apparatus is provided with clearing elements which can freely move up and down independently of one another, and which are disposed in a movable carrier which is embodied as an attachment for a tracked or wheeled vehicle. Each clearing element is a small, rigid clearing plate having a supporting arm, which is suspended on a support associated with the movable frame, and is movable about a horizontal pivot axis which extends transverse to the direction of travel. The supporting arms of all of the clearing plates are the same length. All of the clearing plates, without contacting one another and at a slight distance from one another, are disposed in a compound arrangement which is parallel to the support and is arranged behind the latter in the direction of travel. The compound arrangement is either V-shaped, having its point facing in the direction of travel, or extends continuously at an angle to the direction of travel.
