ABSTRACT:
Self-erecting mines are known in which unfoldable erecting elements are articulated to the lower end of the mine body. When the mine body has reached the ground in some position, the erecting elements are unfolded to erect the mine body. The purpose of the invention is to prevent the erected mine body from toppling over under the influence of laterally directed forces. According to the invention, the erecting elements are lockable in the unfolded state so that they cannot fold up again. As a result, the effective supporting surface of the mine body is increased.
