DE10353582A1 - Garment, comprising lining made of conductive fibers in order to resist attack with electric weapon - Google Patents

Abstract

The electric gun (3) is assembled of a unit for the creation of high voltage, a switch for activation and two electrodes. The attacked person (1) is immobilized and can be easily robbed, in case of a policeman of his weapon and other important items. The new design of a protection garment (2) has a lining (2.1) of conductive fibers leading the electric impulse (5) back to the opposite electrode. The body (1) is as safe as in a Faraday cage and not negatively affected. In one version the fibers protect the garment (2) also from infrared light, making the owner (1), in particular a border protecting policeman, invisible at night.

Description

The Invention relates to an individual protection device which which are equipped with this protective device, reliable before the dreaded Effects of Stun Gun Attacks and Step Voltages triggered electrocution protects.

All People, including the police and security forces, are Coll possibly attacks with stun guns more or less helpless exposed. A defense against such attacks is especially in attacks ambush a problem because the attacked person is not only "incapacitated" can be, but im - after Stun gun effect - quasi helpless state of the attacker also attacked by the Person carried property possession can.

at Police and security forces can too this entrained Property also includes equipment such as Radio technology, weapons and others also from a tactical point of view high quality equipment belong, which should not be lost or get into "foreign hands".

It There is obviously a security gap here, which is urgent to close.

effective and above all cost-effective and for that anyone that can be used to protect against attacks with stun gun devices Coll not known.

task The invention is therefore to propose a protective device, the human body against electric shocks protects those of stun guns and the like or electromagnetic fields of tension (Step voltages) are generated.

A inventive solution this Task is in the claims 1, 4, 5 and 6 indicated.

further developments The invention are characterized in the subclaims.

To the concept of the invention is proposed to solve the problem in the one to be protected Person to be worn garment (jacket, Coat, combat or protective suit and the like.) As a kind of food, the the body the person to be protected encloses a conductive one To incorporate material with textile properties.

This the body or essential parts of the body enclosing conductive Material takes over with its shielding properties the function of a Faraday The cage.

The used as feed conductive Material preferably consists of a fleece-like fiber surface structure, wherein the individual fibers of the fiber structure metallized and aligned independently of direction are. Due to this arrangement of metallized fibers arise Fiber nodes with many electrical circuits and one Current carrying behavior, which enables the conductive material will pick up the electric pulses introduced by the stun gun and low impedance over that conductive Feed back to the other electrode of the stun gun. There is no current flow over Body Parts the one to be protected Person.

Also electromagnetic fields, e.g. in connection with step voltages do not affect the person, because the material is extreme good shielding properties against electric and magnetic fields has.

By the metallization of the individual fibers of the fiber surface structure a Faraday cage is created, the next to his o.g. Shielding properties by the textile or fleece-like formation of the fibers is highly flexible. Another one Feature of this metallized fiber structure is the high tensile strength of about 50 Nm with a material width of the fiber structure of 50 mm.

• • Stromtragfähigkeit und Niederohmigkeit in allen drei Achsen,
• • keine Abfaserungen von den Schnittflächen,
• • sehr hohe mechanische Festigkeit gegen Abrieb und Absprödung,
• • Schutz gegen Oxidation und Metallhaftung an Textilien, wobei ein Vernähen ohne Schädigung des Materials möglich sein muss und das Material bei Bedarf flammenhemmend ist.

The most important requirements for suitable, inventively functioning materials are mentioned

• • current carrying capacity and low resistance in all three axes,
• • no frayings from the cut surfaces,
• Very high mechanical resistance to abrasion and embrittlement,
• • Protection against oxidation and metal adhesion to textiles, where sewing must be possible without damaging the material and the material is flame-retardant if necessary.

One Another area of application of a garment-like incorporated into garments conductive Material is that the wearer of this garment of infrared devices can not be detected.

On this way, for example, a member of a BGS (Federal Border Guard) unit of with infrared devices equipped criminal person can not be recognized or unmasked.

This can security organs and Spezi units are not only more protected, but are also invisible to lawbreakers.

Further Details, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent the following description of an embodiment with reference on the associated Drawing.

It demonstrate

1 : the schematic representation of the effect of a stun device on the human body and

2 : the schematic representation of the function of stun gun and protective device.

1 shows a stun gun 3 , which consists in its essential parts of a unit for high voltage generation 6 , a switch part 7 for function triggering and the electrodes 4 , Attacking a human body part 1 flow electrical impulses 5 about the body 1 and paralyze the muscles.

In the schematic representation after 2 carries the person to be protected 1 a protection device 2 , so a garment in which the human body or body part 1 enclosing food 2.1 of the garment 2 consists of a metallized and thus conductive nonwoven fabric.

The from the one electrode 4 the stun gun 3 leaking electrical impulses 5 flow over the conductive lining 2.1 to the other electrode 4 from. The body 1 is located in the type Faraday cage, so that there is no current flow through the body and no paralysis of the muscles occurs.

As a material 2.1 For example, an LBVM1 material can be used, where the abbreviation LBVM1 stands for conductive coated nonwoven material that carries a one-sided coating. For the production of the conductive coating, inter alia, such materials are used as copper, copper-nickel, aluminum-tin.
