Abstract

A bulletproof arrangement of woven, knitted or the like fabrics comprised of highly strong fibers comprises at least one continuous material web which forms a plurality of folds which overlap one another like fish-scales. The distances between the edges of the folds are dimensioned smaller than the caliber of a high velocity projectile impacting thereupon, so that the projectile is deflected in the bulletproof arrangement in the sense of a ricochet effect and is thereby kept off an object to be protected.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine beschußsichere Anordnung aus Gewebe, Gewirke oder dergleichen, die durch hochfeste Fasern, wie aromatische Polyamidfasern (Aramidfasern) gebildet sind.The invention relates to a bulletproof arrangement made of woven, knitted or the like, which are formed by high-strength fibers such as aromatic polyamide fibers (aramid fibers).

Es ist bereits bekannt, hochfeste Fasern dieser Art für beschußsichere Schutzbekleidung zu verwenden. Hierbei werden entsprechend den Erfordernissen Einschübe und Einlagen von Hartmaterialien wie Metall, Kunststoff und Keramik in Form von Platten und Plättchen zusätzlich vorgesehen, um eine gewünschte Schutzwirkung zu erzielen.It is already known to use high-strength fibers of this type for bulletproof protective clothing. Here, inserts and inserts of hard materials such as metal, plastic and ceramic in the form of plates and platelets are additionally provided in order to achieve a desired protective effect.

Weiterhin ist bekannt, die Schutzwirkungen gegen Geschosse mit hoher kinetischer Energie durch größere Dimensionierung der Schutzbekleidung auszugleichen. Hierdurch ergeben sich zwangsläufig durch ein größeres Volumen und Gewicht bei Schutzbekleidung eine verminderte Bewegungsmöglichkeit für einen Träger.It is also known to compensate for the protective effects against projectiles with high kinetic energy by increasing the size of the protective clothing. This inevitably results in a reduced possibility of movement for a wearer due to a larger volume and weight in protective clothing.

Bekannte Leichtschutzwesten aus Aramidfaser-Geweben sind bisher zum Schutz vor Geschossen mit einer kinetischen Energie von 500 Joule = 51 mkp beim Austritt des Rohres einsetzbar. Höhere Leistungen sind bisher mit Leichtschutzwesten dieser Art nur durch Erhöhung der Gewebelagen oder durch das Einsetzen von Hartmaterialien erzielbar. In diesen Fällen werden aber Dimensionierungen erreicht, deren Volumen und Gewichte sich auf den jeweiligen Träger bewegungsmindernd auswirken. Dieses zählt auch für die Mehrverwendung von Aramidfaser-Geweben, wobei dann eine Weste etwa 10 bis 12 kp wiegt.Known lightweight protective vests made of aramid fiber fabrics have so far been used to protect against bullets with a kinetic energy of 500 joules = 51 mkp when the tube exits. Up to now, higher performances can only be achieved with light protection vests of this type by increasing the fabric layers or by using hard materials. In these cases, however, dimensions are achieved whose volumes and weights have a movement-reducing effect on the respective carrier. This also counts for the multiple use of aramid fiber fabrics, whereby a vest then weighs about 10 to 12 kg.

Nach der DE-C-69 78 78 ist bereits eine durch Faltung von Metallplatten hergestellte Schutzplatte gegen Geschoßdurchschlag bekannt geworden. Hierbei wird keine an den Körper anpassungsfähige Weste oder dergleichen geschaffen werden können und es besteht das Problem des Gewichtes, auch wenn das verwendete Material aus Aluminium gebildet ist.According to DE-C-69 78 78 a protective plate made by folding metal plates against bullet penetration has become known. In this case, it is not possible to create a vest or the like which is adaptable to the body and there is the problem of weight, even if the material used is made of aluminum.

Auch nach der FR-A-78 62 42 ist eine Panzerung vorgeschlagen worden, die durch einen festen Plattenkörper aus Gußstahl gebildet ist. Auf der Beschußseite ist dabei eine Profilausbildung des Plattenkörpers vorgesehen, wobei durch die dabei vorgesehenen Einschnitte mit zunehmender Verengung eine Verklemmung bzw. Deformation der auftreffenden Geschosse erzielt wird. Diese Panzerung wirkt durch die entsprechende Masse und nicht durch eine entsprechende Technik der Anordnung von Lagen.According to FR-A-78 62 42, armor has also been proposed which is formed by a fixed plate body made of cast steel. A profile formation of the plate body is provided on the bombardment side, whereby the incisions provided, with increasing narrowing, result in jamming or deformation of the projectiles hitting. This armor works through the appropriate mass and not through an appropriate technique of layering.

Nach der US-A-2 076 076 ist eine starre Anordnung mit sich überlappenden Federstahlplatten bekannt geworden, wobei die Platten in weiche Materialien, wie Leder, eingepackt und miteinander verbunden sind. Bei dieser Anordnung werden quasi durchschußsichere Einlagen angeordnet. Die Überlappungen dienen ausschließlich dem Zweck, Öffnungen zwischen den Platten zu vermeiden und damit Schwachstellen auszuschalten. Auch nach der GB-A-1 046 99 ist eine Anordnung mit übereinander angeordneten Materialplatten vorgeschlagen worden, die keine Beweglichkeit, wie eine Gewebeanordnung aufweist.According to US-A-2 076 076, a rigid arrangement with overlapping spring steel plates has become known, the plates being wrapped in soft materials such as leather and connected to one another. In this arrangement quasi bulletproof inserts are arranged. The overlaps only serve the purpose of avoiding openings between the panels and thus eliminating weak points. According to GB-A-1 046 99, an arrangement with material plates arranged one above the other has been proposed, which has no mobility, such as a fabric arrangement.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine beschußsichere Anordnung der gattungsgemäßen Art mit einer Verringerung des Volumens und somit auch eine Einsparung des Gewichtes zu schaffen, die auf einfache Weise eine Erhöhung der Schutzwirkung gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to provide a bulletproof arrangement of the generic type with a reduction in volume and thus also a saving in weight, which ensures an increase in the protective effect in a simple manner.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß mindestens eine durchgehende Materialbahn mit sich überlappenden Falten in fortlaufender Folge entsprechend einer Schuppenanordnung gebildet und entsprechende Abstände zwischen Faltenkanten geringer als die Kaliber der abzuwehrenden Geschosse bemessen sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that at least one continuous material web with overlapping folds is formed in a continuous sequence in accordance with a scale arrangement and corresponding distances between fold edges are dimensioned smaller than the caliber of the projectiles to be warded off.

Der Vorteil dieser Anordnung besteht darin, daß eine vom Volumen und Gewicht leichtere Ausbildung als bei herkömmlichen Anordnungen geschaffen wird. Hierbei werden die auftreffenden Geschosse unabhängig von deren Auftreffwinkel von der jeweils über die Visierlinie vorbestimmten Schußrichtung zu erheblichen Richtungsabweichungen durch die Faltenkanten gezwungen. Danach werden durch die sich fortsetzenden Geschoßabweichungen Energien aufgezehrt bis das Geschoß nach relativ kurzer Wegstrecke in oder zwischen den Falten stehen bleibt. Gieichermaßen werden Stoßübertragungen in die aus den Geschoßabweichungen sich ergebenden Richtungen übertragen, wobei, bedingt durch die Anordnung, die verursachten Bremswirkungen auf das Geschoß erhöht und die elastischen Gewebeverformungen verringert sowie auf den zu schützenden Teil bezogen abgeleitet und Stoßverletzungen herabgemindert bis bedeutungslos werden.The advantage of this arrangement is that it is lighter in volume and weight than conventional arrangements. In this case, the projectiles hitting them are forced to considerable directional deviations by the fold edges regardless of their angle of incidence from the firing direction predetermined in each case via the sight line. Then energy is consumed by the continuing deviations from the storey until the storey stops in or between the folds after a relatively short distance. Equally, shock transmissions are transmitted in the directions resulting from the projectile deviations, whereby, due to the arrangement, the braking effects caused on the projectile are increased and the elastic tissue deformations are reduced, and are related to the part to be protected and impact injuries are reduced to insignificant.

Insbesondere erbringen parallel zueinander angeordnete Materialbahnen sowie an Unterlagen befestigte Falten als kompakte Faltenverbunde kinetische Energieaufzehrungen, die durch weitere aufeinander gefügte Schichten jeweils gesteigert werden. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung wird ein Geschoßverhalten verursacht, welches vergleichsweise etwa als Querschläger-Effekt bezeichnet werden kann, wobei die Geschoßenergien in den zu Zwangswegen werdenden Faltenlagen erheblich wirkungsvoller als mit bisher bekannten weichen Verfahren zum Erliegen gebracht werden.In particular, material webs arranged parallel to one another and folds fastened to underlays produce kinetic energy exhausts as compact fold composites, which are increased in each case by further layers joined to one another. With the arrangement according to the invention, a projectile behavior is caused, which can be described comparatively as a ricochet effect, the projectile energies being brought to a standstill much more effectively than in the previously known soft methods in the fold layers which become inevitable.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung zur Erhöhung der Effektivität sind durch Merkmale in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further refinements of the invention for increasing the effectiveness are characterized by features in the subclaims.

Die Verwendung der Anordnung ist nicht auf den Einsatz für Schutzbekleidung begrenzt. Es ist insbesondere auch ein Einsatz in Form von Schutzmatten für zu schützende Gegenstände als Objekt- und Flächenschutz denkbar.The use of the arrangement is not limited to the use for protective clothing. In particular, use in the form of protective mats for objects to be protected as object and surface protection is also conceivable.

Bei der dargestellten Anordnung sind Materialbahnen 1 aus Gewebe unter Verwendung von Aramidfasern mit sich überlappenden Falten 2 versehen, wobei eine durchgehende Materialbahn verwendet wird. Die sich überlappenden Falten 2 bilden dabei ein Flächenelement mit einer Schuppenanordnung, und die gewählte Faltentiefe 3 bestimmt die Überlappung. Die gebildeten Faltenkanten 4 sind im Abstand 5 angeordnet, der geringer als die Kaliber der abzuwehrenden Geschosse bemessen ist, um beim Beschuß mindestens eine Faltenkante 4 zu erfassen.In the arrangement shown, material webs 1 made of fabric using aramid fibers are provided with overlapping folds 2, a continuous material web being used. The overlapping folds 2 form a surface element with a scale arrangement, and the selected depth 3 determines the overlap. The fold edges 4 formed are arranged at a distance 5, which is smaller than the caliber of the projectiles to be warded off, in order to detect at least one fold edge 4 when fired at.

Gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 sind jeweils drei gefaltete Materialbahnen 6, 7 und 8 angeordnet, wobei in Fig. 2 die mittlere Materialbahn 7' um 90° versetzte Falten 2 gegenüber den Falten 2 der anderen Materialbahnen 6 und 7 aufweist.

Eine derartige Anordnung wird zum Schutz vor einem Körper 14 angeordnet. Die Beschußrichtung ist dabei durch einen Pfeil 15 angedeutet.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, three folded material webs 6, 7 and 8 are arranged, wherein in FIG. 2 the middle material web 7 'has folds 2 offset by 90 ° with respect to the folds 2 of the other material webs 6 and 7.
