- the advantage of the bulletproof vest according to the invention is the fact that and back panels which are formed of its separate parts of sheet can easily be formed according to different shapes of bodies, the hinges between the protective sheets a_f
- the solution is easy to implement with the help of actual protective sheets ojf uniform thickness.
- Figure 1 shows the front part of the bullet proof sheet according to the invention as a front view.
- Figure 2 shows the front part seen from above.
- Figure 3 shows the back part seen from the outside.
- Figure 4 shows the back part seen from above.
- ⁇ front panel which is formed of separate protective sheets of the bulletproof vest according to the invention which have been pressed into their form is shown in thei figure 1.
- sheets 3 and 4 are joined to the sides for extension to the sheet 2 which is in the middle of tflie of the body.
- a sheet 1 has been joined to the upper edge.
- 2, 3 and 4 are next to each other with the butt connection.
