Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ballistic protection vest.
  • Ballistic protective vest means any short garment with or without sleeves, worn on the skin or on a shirt so as to protect the user from projectile impacts, such as bombs, shells, grenades , bullets, or the like.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a ballistic protection vest which provides effective protection, while ensuring good mobility and perfect ease for its user.
  • the ballistic protection vest comprises in combination two independent elements, one covering the lower part of the torso from the sternum to the belt, formed by a flexible bustier, and the other , covering the upper part of the torso from the shoulders to the sternum, consisting of a rigid plastron partially covering the bustier at the level of the sternum.
  • This ballistic protection vest thus makes it possible to offer effective protection to its wearer thanks to the rigid plastron combined with the flexible bustier, and in particular, by the partial covering of the flexible bustier by the plastron at the level of the sternum, which is generally very exposed to projectiles.
  • the wearer of the vest has great ease of movement, which promotes his mobility and his effectiveness in combat.
  • the flexible bustier conforms to snake rings arranged horizontally when the wearer is standing and overlapping each other over the entire part of the body to be protected.
  • each snake ring is inclined up and down at an angle with the vertical, and overlaps the upper edge of the ring located immediately below.
  • Such a configuration avoids that different pockets can be lifted relative to each other and thereby create a discontinuity of protection.
  • each snake ring has, seen in cross-section, an ovoid shape, and is constituted by a pocket of textile material inside which is housed a ballistic complex.
  • each ring is constituted by a superposition of strips of flexible ballistic textile sewn on each other at one of their edges and sewn on a surface fabric corresponding to that of the bustier, at the level on their other side.
  • the flexible bustier is formed by a ballistic textile complex comprising a succession of folds, in the general shape of an omega, turned alternately inward and outward.
  • the flexible bustier has adjustable straps. These straps favor a perfect adaptation of the bustier with the breastplate so as to make a vest perfectly hermetic to projectiles, and this according to the size of the user.
  • the rigid faceplate has removable, adjustable and adjustable handles in the form of an accordion.
  • the rigid bustier comprises two protective reinforcements arranged symmetrically and vertically on its front face.
  • This reinforcement makes it possible to better guarantee that part of the body which is generally very exposed to projectiles.
  • the rigid bustier is extended by a low protection which, extending from the belt to the knee, consists of a pleated apron.
  • This apron offers a guarantee of the lower limbs of the body while not disturbing the freedom of movement of the user.
  • This vest is made up of two elements, a rigid plastron 1, and a flexible bustier 2, as shown more precisely in Figure 2.
  • the bustier 2 has, as best shown in Figure 2, straps 3, adjustable by known mechanical means such as loops 3a, so as to ensure a perfect adaptation of it to the size of the individual , which promotes comfort and increases the effectiveness of the vest's protection.
  • This flexible bustier 2 is produced either in a conformation in snake rings, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, or in a confor mation in pleated form, as shown in Figure 4.
  • the bustier comprises a bottom fabric 4 of surface corresponding to that of the bustier, on which are fixed pockets 5 of ovoid shape inclined up and down at an angle with the vertical , each pocket containing a ballistic complex 6 resistant to shocks.
  • Each pocket 5 overlaps the upper edge of the pocket located immediately below.
  • the pockets 5 may be located on the inside, that is to say against the body of the user, or on the outside, the first solution being advantageous since it avoids any discontinuity in terms of protection.
  • FIG. 4 represents a pleated configuration which may be suitable for producing the bustier or elements for protecting the legs and arms of the user.
  • a ballistic complex 7 is provided coated on its two faces with a protective textile layer, the assembly comprising a succession of omega pleats 9 turned alternately inward and outward.
  • FIG 5 corresponds to an alternative embodiment of the structure of Figure 3.
  • each ring is constituted by a superposition of bands 10 of ballistic complex, fixed one on the other at one of their edges , for example by a seam 12, while the outermost bands are fixed at their other edge, for example by seams 13, on the base fabric 4.
  • the rigid plastron 1 covering the individual from his shoulders to his sternum, as more precisely represented in FIG. 6, is surmounted by a notched neck 14, V-shaped, open towards the front, so as to ensure the protection of his neck, while allowing a perfect insertion of the chin.
  • Two reinforcements 15 are vertically and symmetrically arranged on the front face of the faceplate so as to reinforce the protection of this part of the body which is generally very exposed.
  • This plastron 1 comprises removable sleeves 16, foldable and adjustable in the form of an accordion, so as to protect the forearms, as shown in FIG. 6, while ensuring ease of movement for the individual.
  • This plastron 1 covers, in a common part of the sternum, the flexible bustier 2 which extends from the latter to the waist of the individual so as to avoid any part of the body without protection.
  • the vest is extended by a pleated apron 17, fixed to the belt 18 worn by the individual.
  • This apron offers protection from the belt to the knee level, while ensuring great mobility for the individual.
