TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to an adaptable transport arrangement arranged to be integrated in a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 . The present invention also relates to a military vehicle.

BACKGROUND In addition to transporting a vehicle crew and equipment associated to the vehicle and its vehicle crew, military vehicles often have a need to transport additional personnel and/or goods such as for example an infantry troop and its associated equipment.

An example of such a military vehicle is a land combat vehicle in the form of an armoured personnel carrier, APC. An APC typically has a compartment for vehicle crew arranged in the front end of the vehicle and a battle room arranged in the rear end of the vehicle for transport of troop such as an infantry troop sitting up.

Since military vehicles at various occasions may need to travel at high speed in difficult terrain and/or may risk passing close to a vehicle mine and/or an improvised explosive device, IED, there is a need to be able to secure that equipment in the military vehicle and personnel travelling in the vehicle can be secured in the vehicle.

Further it is exhaustive for e.g. members of an infantry troop travelling in the vehicle to stand up. For these objectives most military vehicles comprise some kind of structures and/or arrangements for securing of load and personnel. These structures/arrangements typically consist of different storage solutions for securing load and chairs or benches in order to support and secure personnel travelling in the vehicle.

Further, the space inside military vehicles is typically very small and the amount of equipment and the plurality of personnel to travel in the vehicle are large which result in there being a strong desire to be able to optimize utilization of the space inside military vehicles. Depending on the assignment to be performed by the military vehicle and depending on the circumstances in connection to the assignment the transport needs of the military vehicle in terms of troop sitting up and their equipment typically change from one point of time to another.

This means that the number of members in a troop sitting up in the vehicle and the amount of equipment associated to the members of the troop sitting up typically varies from one point of time to another. This is problematic since the military vehicles of today typically render having a static configuration in terms of storage solutions and for equipment and arrangements such as chairs/benches for facilitating for a troop sitting up to sit down. This makes it difficult to use one and the same vehicle for different kinds of assignments. Alternatively, this results in that time consuming adaption of the vehicle is needed prior to assignments or during assignments.

Consequently there is a need to present improvements in the area of transport of equipment and personnel for military vehicles.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide a transport arrangement arranged to be integrated in a vehicle which is adaptable to a desired transport need and especially to a desired transport need of a military vehicle.

An additional object of the present invention is to provide a transport arrangement arranged to be integrated in a vehicle which quickly may be adapted, i.e. which requires a minimal workload related to adapting the transport arrangement to a desired transport need.

An additional object of the present invention is to provide a transport arrangement arranged to be integrated in a vehicle, in the form a military vehicle, providing security in terms of being able to prevent splinter/sub- projectiles are created from the transport arrangement and/or its stored load in the case the vehicle would pass a vehicle mine and/or an improvised explosive device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION These and other objects, apparent from the following description, are achieved by an adaptable transport arrangement arranged to be integrated in a vehicle and a vehicle, which further exhibits the features recited in the characterising clause of the appended independent claim 1 . Preferred embodiments of the arrangement and vehicle are defined in appended dependent claims 2-13 and 15.

Specifically an object of the invention is achieved by a transport arrangement arranged to be integrated in a vehicle. The transport arrangement comprises a seat element, attachably arranged at a wall of an inner space of the vehicle, the seat element comprising a foldable seat membrane. The transport arrangement further comprises a storage module comprising at least one flexible containment and fastening means arranged to detachably attach the storage module to the wall of the inner space of the vehicle when the foldable seat membrane is in an upright positon such that the space being occupied by the foldable seat membrane when the foldable seat membrane is in a folded down position can be transformed into a storage space.

Hereby efficient and flexible utilization of the limited inner space being provided in a vehicle such as a combat vehicle is facilitated. This is provided in that the transport arrangement easily and quickly can be adapted to either support a person or to store equipment.

When the transport arrangement is configured to support a person the storage module is detached from the wall of the inner space of the vehicle and may be stored rolled together on a suitable location in the vehicle. In this configuration also the seat membrane is folded down for example in the form a folded down seat of a chair.

When the transport arrangement is configured to store equipment, the storage module is attached to the wall of the inner space and the seat membrane is according to this configuration folded up. This results in that the transport arrangement may quickly and easily be adapted to either transport of personnel or transport of equipment depending on desired transport need.

The invention may also be realized with minimal utilization of space. This is facilitated in that when the transport arrangement is configured for transport of equipment the storage module is arrange attached such that it occupies a space mainly corresponding to the space occupied by the seat membrane when the seat membrane is folded down and the storage module is detached, i.e. when the transport arrangement is configured for transport of personnel. The transport arrangement according to the invention also allows secure transport of personnel and secure transport of equipment when a person or equipment is secured to the transport arrangement, i.e. a person may sit supported by the chair membrane and may be strapped with a seat belt and equipment may be secured in that the equipment is stored inside and thereby is safely kept in place by said at least one flexible confinement of the storage module.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement the wall to which the seat element is attachably arranged is a side wall of the inner space of the vehicle, said side wall being substantially perpendicular to a bottom wall defining a floor of the inner space of the vehicle.

Hereby a secure transport arrangement for equipment and/or personnel is facilitated. This is provided in that the seat element is arranged attached to the side wall and thus does not have any point of attachment arranged in the bottom wall, i.e. the floor, of the inner space of the military vehicle wherein influence of the seat element, its respective attachments and the person being supported by the seat element are reduced, in the case when forces are applied against the flor caused by for example an exploding vehicle mine.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement the seat element is arranged attached via a plurality of seat element fasteners, arranged in the seat element, to a plurality of seat element wall attachments integrated in the wall of the inner space of the vehicle.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement said fastening means arranged to detachably attached the storage module to the wall of the inner space of the vehicle are arranged to be detachably attached to said plurality of seat element wall attachments.

Hereby realisation of the transport arrangement with a minimal number of points of attachment is facilitated since the storage module utilizes the points of attachment for the seat element. This is advantageous since fewer physical interventions are required in the wall of the inner space, wherein the wall becomes more robust since fewer recesses are required on the wall.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement each flexible confinement of said at least one flexible confinement comprises a plurality of flexible walls interconnected to each other and a flexible bottom wall to form an inner space of the flexible confinement and where at least one of said flexible walls defines an access cover which is at least partly detachable from the plurality of flexible walls adjacent to said flexible wall defining the access cover or which is partly detachable from a subsurface of the flexible wall defining the access cover.

Hereby secure storage of equipment is facilitated. This is provided in that the equipment is kept in place by said at least one flexible confinement and thereby is prevented from uncontrollable movement in the vehicle when the vehicle is moving and/or subject to forces. Further, the equipment is prevented from creating sub-projectiles moving around in the vehicle, e.g. in connection to explosive forces acting on the vehicle.

This is provided in the corresponding way, i.e. in that the equipment is confined wherein independently of whether the equipment is shattered into sub-projectiles these sub-projectiles are prevented from being spread in the inner space of the vehicle since they are stopped by the walls of said at least one flexible confinement.

Further a transport arrangement occupying little space and having low weight is facilitated by this. This since the storage module, it being essentially constituted by the flexible confinement, may be rolled together and stored at a suitable location in the vehicle when it is not used. Further, in that the confinement is flexible, it can be constructed with low weight since flexible structures typically are constructed by material with low weight.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement the access cover comprises means for detachably closing the access cover.

Hereby easy access to the inner space of the respective flexible confinement is facilitated for introducing equipment to and removing equipment from the flexible confinement. According to an embodiment of the arrangement one or more of said plurality of flexible confinements comprises a container for storage of liquid and where said container is arranged intermediate to said one or more flexible confinements comprising the container and the wall of the inner space of the vehicle.

Hereby storing of liquid of any kind, such as e.g. water, in the storage module is also facilitated.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement each of said at least one flexible confinement is formed of a textile material. Hereby is facilitated provision of a transport arrangement which is cost efficient and has low weight and where the storage module occupies little space as it may be rolled together when it is not desired be used.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement one or more of said at least one flexible confinement comprises a ballistic material. Hereby is facilitated provision of a flexible confinement with increased robustness.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement one or more of said at least one flexible confinement are adapted in size to confine one or more ammunition boxes. Hereby storage adapted for ammunition boxes is facilitated. This is advantageous since ammunition contains explosive components which should be handled with care. Due to the fact that one or more flexible confinements are adapted in size to an ammunition box the confinements may facilitate a more secure storage of ammunition since the boxes are not allowed to slide around inside the confinements.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement the storage module comprises one or more flexible confinements arranged in a column structure and where each of said plurality of flexible confinements are attached to at least one adjacent flexible confinement of the plurality of flexible confinements by at least one interconnecting strap or an interconnecting belt.

Hereby adapted storage of equipment is facilitated, where the number and shape of the flexible confinements may be adapted according to desired need for transport of equipment.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement said fastening means arranged to detachably attach the storage module to the wall of the inner space of the vehicle comprise at least one storage module fastening strap or at least one storage module fastening belt.

Hereby easy and stable attachment of the storage module is facilitated, where said fastening means further may be constructed with low weight.

According to an embodiment of the arrangement said at least one storage module fastening strap or at least one storage module fastening belt is formed of a fabric.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Fig. 1 schematically illustrates in an exploded view different elements of a transport arrangement arranged to be integrated in an element constituting a part of an inner space of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. In more detail figure 1 shows an adaptable transport arrangement FTA arranged to be integrated in a vehicle 100, such as a military vehicle.

Herein the vehicle 100, in which the transport arrangement FTA is arranged to be integrated, is described as a land combat vehicle, such as an armoured personnel carrier or other type of land combat vehicle, but it needs to be pointed out that the invention also is realizable and implementable in a military aircraft, such as a transport aeroplane or a helicopter, or in a military watercraft, such as e.g. a surface combat vessel. Further the system may also be applied in a civil vehicle or a civil vessel, such as an ambulance helicopter.

In more detail the transport arrangement is arranged to be integrated in an inner space 101 of the military vehicle 100. In further more detail the transport arrangement is arranged integrated towards a subsurface 102 of an inner space 101 of the military vehicle. Said subsurface 102 is according to this embodiment constituted by a side wall SW of a plurality of connected side walls which together with a bottom wall or a floor wall BW and a top wall or roof wall (not shown) forms the inner space 101 of the military vehicle. Depending on the configuration of the vehicle said side wall is arranged perpendicularly to said bottom wall or floor. The transport arrangement comprises a storage module SMO arranged to facilitate storage of equipment and a seat element C arranged to support a person. The person may e.g. be a soldier of an infantry troop sitting up in the military vehicle. The seat element c is preferably constituted by a chair with a foldable seat membrane, i.e. a foldable chair seat. As mentioned earlier said seat element C comprises a back support membrane BR and a seat membrane FSM. The seat membrane is arranged foldable relative to the back membrane. In more detail said seat membrane is arranged stepwise foldable relative to the back membrane. Preferably the seat membrane is arranged stepwise foldable relative to the back membrane in one or more steps such that the seat membrane can occupy a folded down position, i.e. horizontal position, and an folded up positon, i.e. vertical position or upright position (not shown in fig. 1 .). When said seat membrane is in said vertical position a main surface of extension of the seat membrane is arranged parallel to a main surface of extension of the back support membrane.

The seat element is further arranged attached to a wall of the inner space of the vehicle. Preferably the seat element is arranged attached to said side wall SW of the inner space of the military vehicle as shown in figure 1 . The seat element comprises seat element fasteners UC1 -UC2, LC1 -LC2, arranged at the seat element, for attachment of the seat element to the side wall.

In order to be able to attach the seat element to the side wall a plurality of seat element wall fasteners UW1 -UW2, LW1 -LW2 are presently arranged integrated in the side wall. According to a variant these seat element fasteners are constituted by attachment loops, other fasteners suitable for the purpose or a combination of attachment loops and other fasteners suitable for the purpose. According to this variant said seat element fasteners of the seat element are constituted by a plurality of seat element fasteners arranged for detachable connection to said seat element wall fasteners.

The components/parts being comprised in the seat element C1 have already been described in detail in connection to figure 4 and will consequently not be described here.

Further, the storage module SM01 thus comprises a plurality of flexible confinements FLE1 -FLE3, a plurality of interconnecting straps or belts S1 -S3, first and second upper, intermediate and lower fastening means M1 -M6 with associated tightening means (shown in figure 3A-3D). The components/part being comprised in the storage module SM01 have already been described in detail in connection to figure 3A-3D and will consequently not be described here.

The seat element C1 is arranged to be integrated in a wall SW of a vehicle, such as a wall SW of an inner space 101 of a vehicle exemplified with reference to figure 1 . In more detail the seat element C1 is arranged detachably attached to the wall SW.

In more detail said first upper seat element fastener UC1 and said second upper seat element fastener UC2 are arranged detachably attached to a first upper seat wall fastener UW1 and a second upper seat wall fastener UW2 respectively, arranged to be integrated in the wall SW. Said first intermediate seat element fastener MC1 and said second intermediate seat element fastener are arranged detachably attached to a first intermediate seat wall fastener MW1 and a second intermediate seat wall fastener MW2 (shown in figure 4), arranged to be integrated in the wall SW. Said first lower seat element fastener LC1 1 and said second lower seat element fastener are arranged detachably pivotally attached to a first lower seat wall fastener LW1 1 and a second lower seat wall fastener respectively, arranged to be integrated in the wall SW. This is described in more detail with reference to figure 4. In figure 5 and 6 the seat membrane FSM1 is arranged in a folded up position for facilitating detachable attachment of the storage module SM01 to the wall SW. Attachment/detachment of the storage module is suitably done in connection to a changed transport need, i.e. depending on the need of transport of personnel contra the need for transport of equipment. If fewer sitting locations are required the space inside the vehicle occupied by the sitting location may be changed to a storage space for equipment and vice versa.

When the seat membrane FSM1 is in folded up position and when the storage module SM01 is desired to be utilized the first upper fastening means M1 and the second upper fastening means M2, of the storage module SM01 , are correspondingly arranged detachably attached to said first upper seat element wall fastener UW1 and said upper seat element wall fastener UW2 respectively. Further the first intermediate fastening means M5 and the second intermediate M6, of the storage module SM01 , arranged detachably attached to said first intermediate seat element wall fastener MW2. Further the first lower fastening means M3 and the second lower fastening means M4, of the storage module SM01 , are arranged detachably attached to said first lower seat element wall fastener LW1 and said second lower seat element wall fastener respectively. Alternatively the first lower fastening means M3 and the second lower fastening means M4, of the storage module SM01 , are arranged detachably attached to said first lower seat element fastener LC1 1 and said second lower seat element fastener LC21 respectively. Depending on configuration of the vehicle the vehicle may be provided with a suitably number of transport arrangements where, depending on situation, i.e. transport needs, it is decided which of the transport arrangements to be arranged with the storage module detachably arranged. For this purpose a transport arrangement exemplified with reference to any of figures 1 or 4 to 6 be used. This results in that a vehicle such as a military vehicle may comprise a plurality of transport arrangements.
