Abstract

An armour, in particular body armour for female wearers is made of multiple layers (30) of penetration-resistant material for example made of polyaramid fibers, specially shaped to fit over a shaped area to be protected, e.g. the bust of a female wearer. The armour's shaped part is held in shape by a series of darts (37) in successive layers (30) of the material. Each dart in a material layer comprises a generally V-shaped section (35) whose edges (37) are joined to form the dart. The V-shaped section (35) of the material is folded on itself to form a pleat (40) which is folded over to one side of the dart (37) to form an added thickness overlaying or underlying an adjacent part of the material (30). The darts (37) are angularly offset from one another with the pleats (40) oriented in directions so that the added thickness is distributed substantially evenly, thereby avoiding bulges or stiffness and improving the wearing comfort.

Description

Specially shaped multilayer armour
Invention field
The present invention relates to protective garment, relate to particularly to include and get distinctive appearance with the curve regions of cooperation health such as the part body protection clothes and the manufacture method thereof of women's chest by multilayer penetration-resistant material system.
Background technology
Can adopt the fiber of high tenacity such as the Fypro in the sandwich construction as everyone knows, for the body protection clothes provide shellproof protection.The bullet-proof vest of sandwich construction proved can be with feeling quite pleased as men and women's body protection clothes, but make it be applicable to that female body has then run into difficulty when improving comfortableness to the women wearer by this protective garment is configured as.
The validity of wearer comfort and protective garment is closely related on the problem that prevents to injure.Depend on protection level and fabric type, adopt 10~50 layers of fabric approximately.Will be formed with the structure of certain rigidity like this, this structure is not easy to adapt to the body contour that notable feature is arranged, particularly on women's regio pectoris.If protective garment can not be close to fitly with wearer's health, transfer of vibration will be inhomogeneous, and these body protection clothes just can not play its due effect.The heteromorphic regions of body protection clothes is vulnerable especially for the gunslinging at glancing incidence angle.Especially women's chest very easily is subjected to the infringement of traumatic vibration.
Protect the heteromorphic regions of health such as the multilayer body protection clothes of getting abnormity of women's chest to propose all suggestions for being used for.But the multilyer armor of making abnormity can be flexible but the rubber-like difficulty that becomes more not because of each layer anti-passes material.So just problem has appearred.
United States Patent (USP) 4183097 proposes by adopting special stitching decorative pattern, engages the piece of cloth of cutting by overlapping seam, forms the profiling anter of protective garment.If but overlapping seam is fully inadequately big, oblique gunslinging just can penetrate this vest, and the size that strengthens overlapping seam can need position flexibly as much as possible form hard edge in the women.
United States Patent (USP) 45 78 821 proposes flexible multiple field armour is inserted in the preceding bag of carrier clothing.This plate is kept by Velcro hook-pillar securing member and can be adjusted to different chest sizes, but shielded zone is limited, and the Velcro securing member can not be guaranteed good ballistic performance.So this system only is applicable to low-level protection purpose.
A kind of vest that BP 2231481 proposes, its inside has the foamed plastics that can cooperate the chest shape.Have additional the rigidity or the semirigid vibration damping sheet of shaping on this plastic layer, insert the ballistic-resistant assemble of multilayer at last, a whole set of construction packages is in one bag of cover.Adopt this design, can make this ballistic-resistant assemble be adapted to shape by ballistic-resistant assemble is folded around horizontal line.But, thereby the protection in these limit portion zones has just been become problem for this then can stay big opening at the left and right sides of chest.In addition, this vest is heavier, hard and make the wearer feel uncomfortable.
The another kind of scheme that is proposed by United States Patent (USP) 5020157 then is to adopt the not cover of bendable of the rigidity made by high-strength laminated polyethylene material, and it is through on women's the chest, is simultaneously under common soft vest, impacts the injury that causes in order to avoid bullet.But the pressure that this impact produces can pass to the edge of above-mentioned cover and might damage.In addition, apply arbitrarily and itself can make the wearer uncomfortable.
In patent document DE-A-4423194 and WO96/01405, proposed at 400~800KPa pressure and being heated under 180~300 ℃ of conditions, the multilayer aromatic poly-amide fabric has been molded as the PVC valve jacket forms the body protection clothes.But aramid fibre has the percentage elongation up to 4%, and this can cause damage in molding process.In addition, can be when forming above-mentioned each layer with this fabric tension, and the space between can increased fiber reduces shellproof efficient.Moreover, be molded as the PVC valve jacket in this wise and make that this kind protective garment is harder.
The special-shaped multilayer body protection of above-named formation clothes have earlier scheme can not produce can with the comfortable light weight sandwich construction that cooperates of health in, excellent ballistic performance is provided, can not make by existing equipment at ambient temperature.
Summary of the invention
One object of the present invention is to avoid the problems referred to above in the prior art, and the multilayer or the special-shaped protective garment that can be coupled on the health heteromorphic regions are provided simultaneously, and the double comfortableness of getting reliable ballistic performance and height of this protective garment.
Another object of the present invention is to carry the short-cut method that needs to form this multilayer armour with the heat treatment that meeting weakens performance.
Above-mentioned purpose is that the boomerang by a kind of novelty is economized folding and realized that this technology will be in following description, and it is to constitute by equally distributed boomerang more or less by the order (angular deflection) of rotating to economize formed layer.
The protective garment that the present invention proposes, particularly the body protection clothes are the less flexible penetration-resistant materials by multi-layer flexible, get special shape and make to match with the heteromorphic regions of intending protection.
It is here so-called that " abnormity " is meant the part outside the plane of three-dimensional structure as clothing.
According to the present invention, above-mentioned each layer is to be economized by a collection of boomerang in the continuous mutually material layer to keep being shaped.Each boomerang in the layer is economized and is comprised roughly V-shaped portion's section, and the edge of portion's section is economized in conjunction with just forming this boomerang, folds into the V-shape portion section to fold into simultaneously on himself on the side that this boomerang economizes, and increases thickness and form on the adjacent part of the top layer of this layer or bottom.
In addition, according to the present invention, these boomerangs are economized biasing mutually on angle, and the thickness that allows folding V-shape portion section be orientated to make described increase evenly distributes basically.
The special-shaped light weight protective garment of Xing Chenging is comfortable to the wearer and can not sacrifices ballistic performance like this.During economizing, boomerang do not have otch to mean can not to form the weak line that can allow bullet etc. penetrate.
The attached buildup thickness of the folded part of V-shape portion section be distributed in equably basically heteromorphic regions around, on the abnormity part that these easily damage for the bullet hits with glancing angle incident, provide extra protection.But this superior ballistic performance is from these parts that thickens, and mainly is because this design can not produce the weakness of the shellproof validity that will not reduce main layer.
The shape of producing by this method can cooperate body contour preferably, can not restrict the protection domain that is provided by sandwich construction simultaneously.Because the even distribution of folded part, these folded parts just can not be harmful to the flexibility and the comfortableness of protective garment.In addition, the overweight phenomenon of folded part also is inapparent.Like this, this kind body protection clothes just can keep light weight and the comfortableness that wears, thereby can improve the protective value to injury.
This folding V-arrangement segments of material forms the rivel that can be orientated by same direction fully, promptly folds on the same side.These rivels are got different directions but usually.In most preferred embodiment, paired material layer has at the boomerang of same angle position to be economized.Be orientated by relative direction with its rivel, make them not overlapped.Forming above-mentioned right material layer can adjoin each other, but preferably gets crossbedded form, like this owing to avoided the jammed drum that causes of rivel protruding or firm and can improve flexibility and comfortableness.
Can between boomerang is economized, stay surplus angular clearances at a convenient time, leave corresponding angular clearances between some or all in the feasible rivel that can on the angle of different layers, adjoin.Help the flexibility of abnormity part like this and do not reduce comfortableness and security.Importantly make rivel by such angular distribution, can make the attached thickness that increases get uniform distribution, avoid the drum of meeting minimizing comfortableness and security protruding or firm.
Say that in principle it is radially to extend usually from least one convergent point or convergence zone that these boomerangs are economized.Usually, these boomerangs are economized around this convergent point or convergence zone, stagger by the angle that is equal to or greater than V-shape portion section angle before folding.So just avoided the edge of the rivel that folded to do unwanted overlapping.
Every layer material has a boomerang to economize usually, or obeys situation at women's special-shaped body protection, two boomerangs is economized the both sides that are located at two convergent points or convergence zone symmetrically.But, every layer material can have a plurality of boomerangs for example economize four boomerangs economize extend in each side on two convergent points or the convergence zone and under.
Special-shaped protective garment of the present invention is mainly used in such body protection clothes, and it comprises that at least one special-shaped portion can be coupled to health abnormity part as trunk, neck and/or neck regions, shoulder district, or on elbow, knee or other the hinge area.This body protection clothes can be soft or than rigidity or rigid protective garment, desirable vest, armlet or legging and similar clothing form.
A kind of specific use as special-shaped body protection clothes is to be coupled on women wearer's the chest, such protective garment has that two edges laterally separate mutually concave with the chest corresponding concave part.In this embodiment, to economize be around each the angled biasing that is distributed with these two recesses that laterally separate mutually of described increase thickness thereon basically equably for these boomerangs.
In the special-shaped body protection clothes that this women uses, these two normally form by economizing around the upper and lower and outer peripheral boomerang of this kind recess with the corresponding recess that laterally separates mutually of chest, determine the special-shaped chest of the continous way of admitting the both sides breast (" list covers ").
Or two brassieres also can be set, but this is not to be necessary.Abundant economizing by the interlaced boomerang of opening of angle can be provided in this case, make rivel cover whole circumference district basically around each recess that laterally separates mutually.
The boomerang of the body protection of this women's abnormity clothes is economized from two convergent point or convergence zones that laterally separate mutually corresponding to the center of described recess, radially extend on these two convergent points or the convergence zone and under, and preferably to extend to be about 180 ° angle at least.
Anter that the body protection clothes of getting the vest form of the present invention have usually and rear panel are permanently to join to together or can releasably for example be done and can releasably be fixed by the Velcro securing member, and this anter for example can be economized by the boomerang of described novel arrangement and form on the chest that can be coupled to the women wearer.The present invention relates to a whole set of vest and anter, they can public offering.
The angle of the V-shape portion section of flexible material depends on the required curvature value of any concrete application.Concerning the overwhelming majority's application, this V-shape portion section respectively forms about 10~40 ° angle.
For women's special-shaped body protection clothes, at this moment about 15~30 ° angle and to be more preferably 20~25 ° angle comparatively desirable because can provide its shape can be fit to the recess of most female breasts.
Has the shape that for example can be fit to neck less than the V-shape portion section of 10 ° of angles.When adopting little angle, need pay special attention to folding rightly and the narrower rivel (half of the angle of V-shape portion section) in location, in order to avoid it is protruding to form drum.
For the shape of for example ancon, the angle that this V-shape portion section is had for example may need above 40 °.
Generally, center on each of these two recesses that laterally separate mutually, the material layer of being assembled has at least three boomerang place-saving.But to some application and opinion, two boomerang place-saving are enough to, and wherein the rivel in each boomerang place-saving different layers is folding by relative direction, with the attached buildup thickness of the rivel that distributes as much as possible.
There is layout to prove already around each of these two recesses that laterally separate mutually and extremely is suitable for women's bullet-proof vest with six boomerang place-saving.The maximum number of boomerang place-saving is decided by the purposes of design and the consideration of manufacture view.
The shape of economizing according to boomerang of the present invention that special arrangement produced can be around one or more convergent points or convergence zone symmetry or asymmetrical.Asymmetrical shape can provide by the position that the boomerang that asymmetricly distributes is economized, and/or may relate to the V-shape portion section (in identical or different layer) that employing has different angles, or provides by asymmetricly folding rivel.
As what will discuss in detail down, described penetration-resistant material is preferably made by Fypro, and in order to improve its penetration-resistant and to reduce the distortion at the back side, can be on polymer bonding last layer or this fiber of multilayer (usually just backing layer and/or anterior layer).Can also make this body protection clothes comprise one or more before bag hold armour, or improve ballistic performance and/or minimizing back face deformation can combine with other overcoat whenever necessary.For example can cooperate rigidity or semirigid anterior layer.
Penetration-resistant material
There is the polytype fiber can be used for the penetration-resistant material of multiple field body protection clothes of the present invention, as comprise for example fiber of polyethylene, polyimides, polyester or polyamide of polyolefin, the toughness that is had is at least the 900MPa by ASTM D-885 usually, approximates 7g/den.For superior penetration-resistant is provided, the toughness of fiber preferably is to be 2000MPa by ASTM D-885 at least.
Fypro is very desirable, because they have required toughness, even the limit that surpasses comparatively ideal 2000MPa has good chemical stability in addition.
This fiber is present in the penetration-resistant material can get various ways, for example as knit goods, Woven fabric, as single weaving structure, check configuration or multidirectional sheet stock (for example having the fiber that is crossed as 20~90 ° of angles), or as non-woven (for example woollen blanket) layer.It also can be the membranaceous sheet stock of penetration-resistant material.
Consider from making efficient, use value and geometry intensity (clear and stable structure), preferably adopt the fabric of high-tenacity fiber.The fabric construction that is suitable for can be usually by 42 * 42 or 28 * 28 warp thread/cm or 14 * 14 or the plain weave weave of 6.7 * 6.7 warp thread/cm system, but depends on that instructions for use also can similarly adopt other weaving structures.
The proportion of this fabric is generally 0.02~0.5kg/m 2, be preferably 0.05~0.5kg/m 2, and 0.08~0.3kg/m preferably 2, between anti-penetrating power and proportion, to try to achieve balance.
If this proportion is less than 0.02kg/m 2Even, to make with Fypro, the ballistic performance of this fabric generally is underproof, and if this proportion is higher than 0.5kg/m 2, because the constraint of weight, using many tissue layer also becomes unpractiaca.
The suitable dawn number (grammes per square metres of 9000 meters yarns) of used fiber is 0.1~3500, and according to required fabric weight/ballistic performance ratio, can suitably be 10~3500.The dawn number is that 1000~3000 fiber can be for requiring less application, and then preferably adopting the dawn number for high-performance/low-gravity application is 1~1000 to be more preferably about 50~1000 fiber.
As a rule, the dawn number is that 1~3000 fiber is best.
Fiber can with the form of coating not or with through coating or occur through the form of the preliminary treatment (for example prestretched or heat treatment) of other modes.When adopt be Fypro the time, except with fiber alignment in suitable weave or non-woven layer, generally do not need to its coating or with other mode preliminary treatment, but in some cases, for example, also can carry out coating in order to strengthen it to being adhered to the ability on the polymer non-individual body.
In order to improve penetration-resistant and to reduce back face deformation, above-mentioned one or multilayer, just backing layer and/or anterior layer usually can be adhered on the polymeric layer or with polymer impregnated, so that utilize the character of fiber and polymer non-individual body.
Comprise that at a kind of like this composite described in the EP-A-_____ (KB-4060) fiber of 900MPa (7g/den) toughness at least is adhered to the bending modulus that has 42~1000Mpa according to ASTM D-790 to one deck, tensile strength and be at least fibrous layer on the polymer non-individual body of 100% elongation rate when having to fracture according to ASTM D-638 when having 10MPa fracture at least according to ASTM D-638 by having according to ASTM D-885.
In above-mentioned composite, preferably adopt thermoplastic polymer.Suitable polymers comprises special polyethylene, polyimides, polyether etherketone, ionomer resin, phenolic modified resin, polyester.
The ionomer resin that this thermoplastic polymer is preferably such, preferably the contained cation of ionomer resin is selected from this dvielement of lithium, sodium and zinc, and particularly by weight 0.1~3% of this ion.
This thermoplastic polymer also can be phenolic modified resin, particularly phenolic aldehyde polyvinyl butyral resin.
Above-mentioned polymer non-individual body preferably has the tensile strength that is at least 20MPa when breaking, and at least 200% and elongation when better being 300% fracture at least, the both is according to ASTM D-638.
The flexibility of polymeric layer is a key factor for the penetration-resistant of composite and the snugness of fit that includes the body protection clothes of one or more pieces this composites.
According to ASTM D-790, the bending modulus of this polymer is preferably 42~1000MPa, especially preferably 50-800MPa.
The bending modulus that is higher than 1000MPa shows that promptly corresponding polymer is too hard, as body protection clothes can not stand effectively puncture maybe can make wear comfortable, the bending modulus that is lower than 42MPa shows that then corresponding material is too soft, can not give to be used for resisting this composite that pierces through purpose that any effective hardness is provided.It is can be in the distortion at its minimizing back side of bullet shooting that the body protection that comprises a kind of like this polymer is obeyed another advantage.
The influential character of another of above-mentioned polymeric layer is its density, is particularly considering being easy to dress and being easy to handle and can effectively design required low-gravity (be expressed as kg/m during for purpose with the loss of weight of body protection clothes 2Composite) situation.
The density that comprises the above-mentioned layer of polymer is lower than 2500kg/m preferably 3, preferably be lower than 1500kg/m 3If the density of iolon layer is less than 1000kg/m 3The time, be particularly suitable for required purpose.
Depend on purposes, say more practically and depend on the suitable manufacture process that to support utilization that the aforementioned polymer non-individual body can be suitably as the layer that can be adhered in its one or both sides on the fibrous layer.In a kind of most preferred embodiment, this fibrous layer is to imbed in the polymer non-individual body, in order to anchoring fiber, forms a kind of extremely strong composite.Above-mentioned polymer and fibrage can be used any known method in the present technique, even other laminate form as calendering, squeezing and coating, gluing, dipping, heat bonding, two kinds of different materials are polymerizations in position, according to batch job or continuous process, form the polymer non-individual body of band fiber.
The better method of binder fibre/polymer composite layer is heat bonding, for example carries out molded with batch job or gets continuous process, particularly with the belt pressurization or prolong pressure.
In the fiber/polymer thing layer of this composite being included in special-shaped body protection clothes of the present invention, above-mentioned layered material can be economized and folding rivel shaping with boomerang as previously mentioned, and need not heat in this forming process.But wherein also can comprise by molded preformed one or more layers fiber/polymer thing composite.
Manufacture method
A kind of method of making multiple field abnormity protective garment is provided according to another aspect of the present invention, and this provides the less flexible penetration-resistant material of waiting to be assembled into the layer flexible in this special-shaped protective garment when beginning.Every layer has fold line, defines at least one boomerang and economizes, and this boomerang is economized and comprised the roughly segments of material of V-arrangement, and the boomerang of different layers is economized around at least one convergent point or convergence zone and is in angle offset.
At first in each layer with the edge of V-shape portion section in conjunction with and form boomerang and economize, have these layers that formed boomerang economizes and all have substantially the same peripheral shape to be assembled in these body protection clothes.
Usually, the shape and size of all these layers all are consistent.But sometimes, for simplicity, can be designed to these layers on shape and size slightly different, for example just can be like this when adapting to the needs of shaping gradually when these layers are assembled.
Then many layers is assembled into special-shaped part, economizes biasing mutually on angle, and, the thickness of increase is distributed in around this abnormity part basically equably with V-arrangement segments of material folding along all directions with the boomerang of different layers.
Above-mentioned forming operation is to carry out in suitable support.For example, in order to form bullet-proof vest, these layers can be formed on the chest model.
The multilayer part that will form so at last is assembled into protective garment.
The cumulative composition form that cumulative layer (from the number of plies 2), has angle offset (" rotation ") the boomerang province of folding rivel, can be referred to as the profile tracer of gradual change, such profile continue after up to 30,50 or even more layer in form gradually.
According to aforesaid way, protective garment can be made into by form correct on the anatomy.More the individual layer of the flexible penetration-resistant material of tool can be by not folding, economizing in conjunction with boomerang for each, and folding rivel forms, the layer that recomposition then is continuous mutually.
On the one hand, can make clothes according to each wearer's size as bullet-proof vest and so on.On the other hand, also can make the special-shaped clothes of bullet-proof vest for example etc., make them can adaptive different wearer.
Above-mentioned folding and securement techniques does not also require special equipment or instrument, but can be handled by the existing method that the modern textile raw material cuts technology.
An advantage of this package technique is to constitute the multilayer shape easily with make up many layers for example 50 layers or more layer than thin penetration-resistant material thin layer.Known, by adopting the quantity of layer,, also can improve ballistic performance even integral thickness is identical.
The boomerang that preferably makes paired material layer have the equal angular position is economized, and the V-shaped part of these layers then makes them not overlapped by relative direction is folding, and these the paired layers with boomerang province of equal angular position then preferably are assembled into layer alternately.
New technology by the thick overcoat of above-mentioned composition can obtain such bed of material (rivel at overlapping is folding); these bed of materials can impact bullet provides further protection, particularly more valuable when inciding on the heteromorphic regions with certain angle (non-perpendicular shooting) at bullet or shell fragment.
The most handy polyamide thread in the edge of each V-shape portion section is sewed up and formation boomerang province.Perhaps available other devices are for example used the stapler or the rivet of polyamide, or use glue, with these edge combinations.
When these material layers join a time-out to, should note keeping its shape and avoid forming airbag.The boomerang that the anter of body protection clothes can be foregoing has an angle offset by assembling is economized two or more sets of penetration-resistant material layer of formation in conjunction with formation.

As shown in Figure 1, the anter 10 of this vest and tergite 20 can releasably be secured together by a series of Velcro securing members, wherein the Velcro pillar securing member 11 at the upside of anter 10 matches with the Velcro hook-type securing members that are coupled to the shoulder belt 21 contained dresses on the tergite 20, and matches at the Velcro pillar securing member 12 of the downside of the anter 10 Velcro hook-type securing member with the side band 22 contained dresses on the bottom that is coupled to tergite 20.These side bands 22 are loaded with the Velcro lateral member 23 of establishing in addition, simultaneously for increase degree of safety, be provided be loaded with the Velcro securing member be with 24.
The penetration-resistant material layer that constitutes anter 10 is encapsulated between the lining of cover sheet and non-penetration-resistant material.Extend to and be in seam 17 on the breastheight for making the imitative shape of this outer plate, being provided with anter 10.But should emphatically point out,, on the internal layer of penetration-resistant material and non-incision, but, assemble by a series of boomerangs provinces by angle offset with the rivel that fold by described below with reference to Fig. 2~4 according to the present invention.
When needs, cover sheet also can have the boomerang of the rivel that the band identical with the internal layer of penetration-resistant material folded and economize.
Fig. 2-1~2-12 respectively shows the right-hand part of penetration-resistant material before continuous each layer assembling forms the special-shaped anter 10 of bullet-proof vest shown in Figure 1 mutually of understanding one of 12 layers 30.Half one in addition of each layer 30 becomes mirror image with respect to the X straight line.Lines shown in the periphery of each layer 30 just show the position of fold line and closing line.
Each layer 30 has two tops 33 that extend laterally portion 31 (corresponding to the part of the anter 10 of the waistline that is coupled to the wearer), side direction recess 32 (corresponding to the part of the anter the arm that is coupled to the wearer under 10), rounding (corresponding to the part of the anter 10 of the upper breast that covers the wearer, immediate shipment has the part of securing member 11) and concave top 34 (corresponding to the part of the anter 10 of the neck that is coupled to the wearer.
The half and half V-shape portion section 35 that is had of layer 30 all has a central fold line 36, can economize by boomerang folding with respect to it and that joint formation is shown in Figure 3.Corresponding among layer shown in Figure 3 and Fig. 2~1 or Fig. 2-3.As shown in the figure, layer 30 is folding with respect to the orthogonal fold line 38 that coincides with fold line 36, layer 30 can be sewed up or stitching along the drawing lines 37 that defines V-shape portion section 35 thus, forms along the boomerang of this closing line 37 and economizes, and stays the remaining rivel 40 that comprises the V-shape portion section 35 that folds on himself.
Shown in the layer 30 of Fig. 4-1~4-4, when having formed two boomerangs economize 37 in the right part of each layer 30 and left part, essentially identical shape and corresponding with the peripheral shape of anter 10 is all got to each all layers in the neighboring of layer 30.But layer 30 in succession can be of different sizes and shape as the function of the shape of intending combination.
Comparison diagram 2-1~2-12, as can be seen the boomerang that layer had in succession economize 37 around convergent point 39 mutually in the angle upper offset.Each sheet 30 has two along the center of oss-divided convergent point 39 corresponding to the recess of the chest that is fit to the cooperation wearer in the anter 30.Convergent point 39 concerning all 12 layers 30 approx at same position.Should know that boomerang economizes 37 tip and can center on a convergence zone (for example because folding result is a circle) and distribute.Such district should be enough big, in order to avoid in the convergent point kink with harmful " piling up " takes place.
Material layer 30 staggered right, i.e. Fig. 2-1 and 2-3,2-2 and 2-4; 2-5 and 2-7; 2-6 and 2-8; 2-9 and 2-11; 2-10 is consistent with 2-12, makes the boomerang of layer of each centering economize 37 and be on the identical angle position.The boomerang of Xu each side (Fig. 2-1,2-2,2-3, or the like) is economized 37 and is in angle offset mutually.Fig. 2-1,2-2 and Fig. 2-3,180 ° of those phase mutual deviations of 2-4, those of the layer that other are continuous mutually belong to the different angles of being represented by fold line 36 places in Fig. 2-5~2-12.In general, the boomerang in the odd-level is economized 37 boomerangs that are arranged in the top even number of layer and is economized the bottom that then is arranged in layer, but layer 30 exception among Fig. 2-10, in the middle of boomerang is wherein economized and is positioned at.
In the example of being given, the V-shape portion section is about 22.5 ° in the angle that forms between the drawing lines 37 that each boomerang economizes, thereby six boomerangs that are set up in parallel are economized and coextensively reached 135 °.But can see, whole boomerangs is economized 37 and is extended to about 195 ° angle, an extreme position in top begins to economize 37 Fig. 2-2 to another extreme position of bottom from the boomerang of Fig. 2-9 and 2-11 and economizes 37 with the boomerang of 2-4, has the gap between other boomerang economizes 37, referring to Fig. 5.
Shown in Fig. 4-1~4-4, to economize 37 relevant rivels folding by staggered direction with boomerang, realizes best possible distribution with the attached thickness that increases that can make them when each layer 30 assembled.Each rivel 40 occupies 1/2 of V-shape portion section width, and these rivels 40 are then folding according to alternate directions selectively.
In Fig. 4-1, left side rivel 40 folds into right-handly in the top of ground floor 30, and the right rivel 40 then folds into left.Equally, in Fig. 4-2, the left side rivel 40 in the bottom of the second layer 30 folds into right-hand and the right rivel 40 folds into left.
For corresponding following two layers of Fig. 4-3 and 4-4, with corresponding rivel 40 folding counter-rotatings, promptly for third and fourth layer 30, left side rivel 40 to left folding and the right rivel 40 to right folding.
In the continuous mutually several right bed of material 30, according to identical mode the folding of rivel 40 that reverse.Principle is that the boomerang that is in same position in cross-bedding is economized the rivel 40 in 37, those among Fig. 2-5 and 2-7 and Fig. 2-6 and the 2-8 for example, will be folding according to relative direction, make when layer 30 is assembled, these rivels 40 will be not can overlapped (referring to Fig. 5).When boomerang is economized 37 formation or when each layer 30 assembles, just can be finished the folding of rivel 40.
To have its boomerang then and economize each layer 30 of 37 and one after the other on chest, assemble, and make the rivel 40 of continuous layer mutually folding by aforementioned manner.By needle-like piece each layer 30 is adjusted on the next one (or previous) layer.All 12 layers 30 are repeated these same processes, lay rivel 40 along the direction of selecting, but except last one deck on the top of layer 30, the rivel here can counter steer in and have a smooth outer surface.
The layer 30 that assembles and be shaped is kept by anchor clamps and sews up (or be secured together with other modes) along its periphery, is sewing up and is oppressing out air in order to avoid form in the process of airbag, its shape of maintenance of being careful., had better not make around periphery continuously for this reason, but once sew up a peripheral part, begin promptly to finish in the bottom corner from the top 33 of rounding.In case of necessity, can take in the part corresponding and profile preferably is provided with waist.
Economize 37 by boomerang, the layer 30 that assembles just form cup-shaped configuration on two chests that can be coupled to the wearer along oss-divided recess, the rivel 40 in each layer 30 is oriented such that then the attached thickness that increases evenly distributes and avoids any drum protruding or firm around the part of this shaping is basic.
Fig. 5 generally shows the angular distribution of rivel 40 in the assembly that assembles.In this figure, rivel 40 is by indicating with corresponding their the label L1~L12 of equivalent layer 30 of Fig. 2-1~2-12.In this example, by clockwise trend, rivel L11-L9, L3-L1, L7-L5, L12-L10, L6-L8 and L2-L4 are together by economizing 37 line and launch to be separated from each other on angle by the layer 30 that will not cover for rivel to arranging rivel L1-L7, L5-L12, L10-L6 and L8-L2 according to what rightabout was folded into respect to forming its boomerang.
On angle, stagger and the selection of rivel 40 orientation because boomerang economizes 37, do not have overlapped rivel in described group.In addition, the rivel 40 that overlaps on angle with its outward flange in this routine L3 and L9 is by at least one intermediate layer 30, promptly the part that does not form rivel of layer L4-L18 is separated, thereby can not cause jam or form the protruding danger of drum between these rivels 40.
In the end in the assembly, rivel 40 is that the outside that centers on each cup-shaped dimple distributes equably, and provides two extra overcoats in this sensitizing range of the position that rivel 40 is covered.
If wishing has two extra guard plots on the uncovered area of Fig. 5, only need be in to have in the material layer assembly that boomerang economizes to comprise extra layer again in required extra position.
Anter 10 among Fig. 1 can be made in this wise, promptly the assembly of 12 layers 30 that rise by described assembling is assembled together composition according to the group number of selecting, i.e. two groups of 24 laminar anters that constitute, or three groups of 36 laminar anters that constitute, or the like.Also can also constitute the assembly of fractional form, for example the 30 laminar anters that constituted of two and half assemblies.
Fig. 6 represents how each layer penetration-resistant material can be formed tergite 20 shown in Figure 1.Put together at this each layer 50 that will form tergite 20, curve the shape at back, then through sewing up or combining with other modes.Each layer 50 sewed up around its periphery 51 and cross hairs 52 except last five layers.Above-mentioned last five layers 50 (they are near health) are then only sewed up around periphery 51.Then these assemblies are only sewed up in the upper zone and the side zones of periphery 51.
At last anter 10 and rear panel 20 are encapsulated in the cover layer and lining separately, refill and mix Velcro securing member and band.
