Description

GEBIET DER ERFINDUNGFIELD OF THE INVENTION

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Körperschutzpanzerung für die Schultergelenkzone gemäß Oberbegriff der Anspruche 1 und 3. Sie besteht demnach aus mehreren miteinander gelenkig verbundenen, körpergerecht geformten Panzerplatten, insbesondere aus Leichtmetall, mit einer Schulterkappe und einer daran am distalen Ende angelenkten Schultergelenkkappe bzw. mit einer eine abwärts gebogene Verlängerung aufweisenden Schulterkappe.The invention relates to a body armor for the shoulder joint zone according to the preamble of claims 1 and 3. It therefore consists of several hinged, anatomically shaped armor plates, in particular light metal, with a shoulder cap and a hinged thereto at the distal end of the shoulder joint cap or with a downwards curved extension having shoulder cap.

TECHNOLOGISCHER HINTERGRUNDTECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

Gattungsgemäße Körperschutzpanzerungen für die Schultergelenkzone sind aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 296 05 503 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Körperschutzpanzerung wurde das Verletzungsrisiko beim Tragen derselben dadurch verhindert, dass eine Oberarmkappe am distalen Ende der Schultergelenkkappe mittels eines Drehgelenks derart mit der Schultergelenkkappe gelenkig verbunden war, dass ein Vorwärts-Rückwärts-Schwenken sowie ein Aufwärts-Abwärts-Schwenken der Oberarmkappe bezüglich der Schultergelenkkappe möglich wurde. Zusätzlich oder alternativ war vorgesehen, eine Schlüsselbeinkappe an der vorderen und eine Schulterblattkappe an der hinteren Kante der Schulterkappe mittels länglicher Scharniere derart mit der Schulterkappe gelenkig zu verbinden, dass die Schlüsselbeinkappe und die Schulterblattkappe Vorwärts-Rückwärts-Bewegungen bezüglich der Schulterkappe ausführen konnten. Eine derartige Körperschutzpanzerung für die Schultergelenkzone hat sich in der Praxis für Polizeischutzkräfte ausgezeichnet bewährt.Generic body armor for the shoulder joint zone are known from German Utility Model 296 05 503. In this known body armor, the risk of injury when wearing the same has been prevented by pivotally connecting a humeral cap at the distal end of the shoulder joint cap to the shoulder joint cap by means of a pivot joint such that forward-backward pivoting and upward-downward pivoting of the humeral cap regarding the shoulder joint cap became possible. Additionally or alternatively, it was intended to articulate a collarbone cap on the front and a scapula at the rear edge of the shoulder cap by means of elongated hinges with the shoulder cap such that the collarbone cap and the scapula cap could perform forward-backward movements with respect to the shoulder cap. Such a body armor for the shoulder joint zone has proven excellent in practice for police guards.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Körperschutzpanzerungen der gattungsgemäßen Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass sie auch von Spezialkräften, wie beim Abseilen, beim Liegendschießen und in ähnlichen Anwendungsfällen, in denen der Oberarm nahe an den Kopf herangeführt werden muss, einsetzbar sind, ohne an Schutzfunktion einzubüßen.The invention has for its object to improve body armor of the generic type to the effect that they can also be used by special forces, such as abseiling, prone and in similar applications, in which the upper arm must be brought close to the head, without any protective function losing.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Körperschutzpanzerung gemäß Anspruch 1 bzw. 3 gelöst. Demnach ist vorgesehen, dass die körperrecht geformte Schulterkappe zweiteilig ausgeführt ist und zum einen ein körpergerecht geformtes halsnahes Basisteil und zum andere ein körpergerecht geformtes halsfernes Ergänzungsteil umfasst, wobei das Ergänzungsteil gegenüber dem Basisteil im Wesentlichen entlang der Formoberfläche verdrehbar ist. Dabei dient das Basisteil zum gelenkigen Anschließen mindestens einer weiteren vorderen und/oder hinteren Kappe, wie einer Schlüsselbeinkappe und/oder einer Schulterbeinkappe, und das Ergänzungsteil dient zum gelenkigen Anschließen der Schultergelenkkappe oder weist an seinem distalen Ende eine vom Hals der Trag-Person fort gerichtete, abwärts gebogene Verlängerung auf.This object is achieved by the body armor according to claim 1 or 3. Accordingly, it is provided that the body-shaped shoulder cap is made in two parts and on the one hand a body-shaped neck near base part and the other includes a body-shaped neck remote supplementary part, wherein the supplementary part relative to the base part is substantially rotatable along the mold surface. The base part serves for the articulated connection of at least one further front and / or rear cap, such as a collarbone cap and / or a shoulder leg cap, and the supplement serves for the articulated connection of the shoulder joint cap or has at its distal end a directed away from the neck of the person wearing , downwards curved extension.

Durch die Erfindung wird erreicht, dass die Schultergelenkkappe im Verhältnis zu der Schlüsselbeinkappe und/oder der Schulterblattkappe vor- und zurückbewegbar ist. Obwohl sich der Oberarm bei den vorerwähnten Extrembewegungen zum Kopf der geschützten Person bewegt, führt die im Wesentlichen horizontale. Vor- und Zurückschwenkbarkeit des Ergänzungsteils gegenüber dem Basisteil (also eine Schwenkbarkeit um eine Vertikalachse und nicht um eine Horizontalachse) überraschenderweise zu einer erheblich verbesserten Funktionalität der Körperschutzpanzerung in extremen Einsatzfällen. Die Schutzfunktion bleibt gleichwohl in dem bisher bekannten Maße erhalten.By means of the invention it is achieved that the shoulder joint cap can be moved back and forth relative to the collarbone cap and / or the shoulder blade cap. Although the upper arm moves toward the protected person's head in the aforementioned extreme movements, the substantially horizontal one. Forward and backward pivoting the supplementary part relative to the base part (ie a pivoting about a vertical axis and not about a horizontal axis) surprisingly to a significantly improved functionality of the body armor in extreme applications. The protective function remains nevertheless in the previously known dimensions.

Um bei extremen Oberarmverlagerungen die Schutzfunktion der Schulterkappe vollständig zu erhalten, überlappen sich das Basisteil und das Ergänzungsteil, vorzugsweise über alle vorkommenden Winkelbereiche, beim Verdrehen des Ergänzungsteils gegenüber dem Basisteil.In order to completely preserve the protective function of the shoulder cap in the event of extreme displacements of the upper arm, the base part and the supplementary part overlap, preferably over all occurring angular ranges, when the supplementary part is rotated relative to the base part.

Um das Verdrehen des Ergänzungsteils gegenüber dem Basisteil zu erleichtern, weist das Ergänzungsteil an seiner halsnahen Kante einen bogenförmigen Verlauf auf, dessen Scheitel zum Hals der Trag-Person hin weist und wobei ein Drehgelenk nahe des Scheitels des Bogens angeordnet ist.In order to facilitate the rotation of the supplementary part relative to the base part, the supplementary part has at its neck near edge an arcuate course, whose apex points to the neck of the person wearing out and wherein a hinge is arranged near the apex of the sheet.

Um dem Schultergelenk unterhalb der Schulterkappe größtmögliche Bewegungsfreiheit zu gestatten, weist die halsferne Kante des Basisteils eine Aussparung, insbesondere in Gestalt einer mit ihrem Scheitel zum Hals der Trag-Person hin gerichteten Bogenform, auf.In order to allow the shoulder joint below the shoulder cap greatest possible freedom of movement, the non-ridge edge of the base part has a recess, in particular in the form of a directed with its apex to the neck of the person supporting arch form on.

Die Verdrehbarkeit des Ergänzungsteils bezüglich des Basisteils kann auf verschiedene Weise erreicht werden, so z.B. dadurch, dass das Basisteil einerseits und das Ergänzungsteil andererseits in geeigneten Schlaufen oder Taschen einer Schutzweste, in welche die Körperschutzpanzerung eingearbeitet oder eingelegt ist, getrennt gehalten werden. Da die Schutzweste aus zumeist textilem Material allseitig recht gut walk-, knautsch- und faltbar ist, nehmen die verschiedenen Zonen der Schutzkleidung das Ergänzungsteil bei entsprechenden Armbewegungen der Benutzerperson in einer Weise mit, die einem Verdrehen des Ergänzungsteils gegenüber dem Basisteil entspricht. Es ist aber auch möglich, das Ergänzungsteil und das Basisteil durch ein Gelenk um eine etwa flächennormale Achse verdreh- und verbindbar zu gestalten. Besonders einfach lässt sich ein solches Gelenk in Form einer mit ausreichendem Spiel eingesetzten Nietverbindung realisieren.The rotatability of the supplementary part with respect to the base part can be achieved in various ways, such as the fact that the base part on the one hand and the supplementary part on the other hand in separate loops or pockets of a protective vest, in which the body armor is incorporated or inserted, kept separate. Since the protective vest made of usually textile material on all sides quite well walk-, crushable and foldable, take the various zones of protective clothing, the supplementary part with appropriate arm movements of the user person in a manner that corresponds to a twisting of the supplementary part relative to the base part. But it is also possible, the supplementary part and the base part by a joint to to make an approximately surface-normal axis twisted and connectable. Such a joint can be realized in a particularly simple manner in the form of a rivet connection used with sufficient play.

Wenn für das Basisteil einerseits und das Ergänzungsteil andererseits in Schlaufen oder Taschen einer Schutzweste, in welche die Körperschutzpanzerung eingearbeitet oder eingelegt ist, getrennt gehalten werden, wird dadurch die Verdrehbarkeit bei hoher Beweglichkeit erreicht. An Stelle von Basisteil und Ergänzungsteil können auch (ergänzend oder alternativ) die angrenzenden Panzerungsteile, wie eine Schulterarm- eine Schlüsselbein- und/oder eine Schulterblattkappe in Schlaufen oder Taschen einer Schutzweste zu dem vorgenannten Zweck eingearbeitet sein.If separately held in loops or pockets of a protective vest, in which the body armor is incorporated or inserted for the base part on the one hand and the supplementary part, thereby the rotatability is achieved with high mobility. In place of the base part and supplementary part, the adjoining armor parts, such as a shoulder arm, a collarbone and / or a shoulder blade cap, can also be incorporated in loops or pockets of a protective vest for the aforementioned purpose (supplementary or alternative).

Wenn für das Basisteil und das Ergänzungsteil verdrehbar verbindende Drehgelenkmittel vorgesehen sind, die eine Verschiebbarkeit zwischen Basisteil und Ergänzungsteil in der Formebene oder parallel zu ihr gestatten, wird dadurch eine Körpergrößenanpassung und/oder weiter verbesserte Beweglichkeit erreicht.If pivotally connecting pivoting means are provided for the base part and the supplementary part, which allow a displaceability between base part and supplementary part in the plane of the form or parallel to it, a body size adjustment and / or further improved mobility is thereby achieved.

Wenn zwischen dem Basisteil und dem Ergänzungsteil eine elastische, insbesondere textile, Distanzscheibe oder -schicht angeordnet ist, wird u.a. dadurch die leichte Verdrehbarkeit zwischen Basisteil und Ergänzungsteil verbessert.If an elastic, in particular textile, spacer or layer is arranged between the base part and the supplementary part, i.a. thereby improving the easy rotatability between the base part and supplementary part.

Wenn das Ergänzungsteil an seinem distalen Ende eine vom Hals der Trag-Person fort gerichtete, abwärts gebogene Verlängerung an Stelle von oder in Ergänzung zu einer Schultergelenkkappe aufweist, wird dadurch u.a. die Schutzfunktion bei einfachem Aufbau verbessert.If the supplemental part has at its distal end a downwardly-bent extension away from the neck of the wearer, in place of or in addition to a shoulder joint cap, this will result i.a. the protective function improves with a simple structure.

Die vorgenannten sowie die beanspruchten und in den Ausführungsbeispielen beschriebenen erfindungsgemäß zu verwendenden Bauteile unterliegen in ihrer Größe, Formgestaltung, Materialauswahl und technischen Konzeption keinen besonderen Ausnahmebedingungen, so dass die in dem Anwendungsgebiet bekannten Auswahlkriterien uneingeschränkt Anwendung finden können.The above-mentioned and the claimed components to be used according to the invention described in the exemplary embodiments are not subject to special conditions of size, shape, material selection and technical design, so that the selection criteria known in the field of application can be used without restriction.

DETAILLIERTE FIGURENBESCHREIBUNGDETAILED FIGURE DESCRIPTION

In den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist eine insgesamt mit 10 bezifferte Körperschutzpanzerung ersichtlich, die auf der Schultergelenkzone der zu schützenden Person ruht und aus einer Schulterkappe 11, einer Schultergelenkkappe 12, wahlweise einer Oberarmkappe, sowie wahlweise einer Schlüsselbeinkappe 15 und/oder einer Schulterblattkappe 16 besteht.In the FIGS. 1 to 3 is a total of 10 classified body armor resting on the shoulder joint zone of the person to be protected and consists of a shoulder cap 11, a shoulder joint cap 12, optionally a humeral cap, and optionally a collarbone cap 15 and / or a scapula 16.

Die Schulterkappe 11 ist zweiteilig und besteht aus einem in Nutzungsposition halsnahen Basisteil 11A sowie einem halsfemem Ergänzungsteil 11B. Alle Panzerungsteile bestehen aus einem plattenförmigen Material, insbesondere Aluminium und sind zwei-oder dreidimensional verformt, so dass eine insgesamt körpergerechte Form erreicht wird.The shoulder cap 11 is in two parts and consists of a base part 11A which is close to the neck in the use position as well as a neck-filling supplementary part 11B. All armor parts are made of a plate-shaped material, in particular aluminum and are two- or three-dimensionally deformed, so that an overall ergonomic shape is achieved.

Das Basisteil 11A und das Ergänzungsteil 11B, die zusammen die körpergerecht geformte Schulterkappe 11 bilden, liegen mehr oder minder dicht aufeinander, wobei - wie dargestellt und insoweit bevorzugt - zwischen dem Basisteil und dem Ergänzungsteil eine elastische, insbesondere textile, Distanzscheibe oder -schicht 17 angeordnet ist. In dem dargestellten und insoweit bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel sind sie durch ein Drehgelenkmittel 14, wie einem Niet oder dergleichen drehgelenkig in der Weise miteinander verbunden, dass sich das Ergänzungsteil gegenüber dem Basisteil entlang der Formoberfläche drehen bzw. verdreht werden kann. Hier wird unter Formoberfläche die der Schulterkappe gegebene körpergerechte Form bzw. der sich dadurch ergebenden Oberfläche verstanden. Größere Spalte zwischen den einander gegenüberstehenden Flächen des Basisteils und des Ergänzungsteils sind - von der Distanzscheibe oder - schicht 17 abgesehen - zumindest im entlasteten Zustand also nicht vorhanden. In der dargestellten und insoweit bevorzugten Ausführungsform liegt das Ergänzungsteil bezogen auf die Tragperson oberhalb des Basisteils. Eine umgekehrte Anordnung ist ebenfalls grundsätzlich möglich. Das Basisteil und das Ergänzungsteil verdrehbar verbindende Drehgelenkmittel 14 nach Fig. 2B gestattet eine Verschiebbarkeit zwischen Basisteil und Ergänzungsteil in der Formebene oder parallel zu ihr.The base part 11A and the supplementary part 11B, which together form the anatomically shaped shoulder cap 11, are more or less close to each other, wherein - as shown and insofar preferred - between the base part and the supplementary part an elastic, in particular textile, spacer or layer 17 is arranged is. In the illustrated and so far preferred embodiment, they are pivotally connected together by a hinge means 14, such as a rivet or the like, in such a way that the supplemental part can be rotated relative to the base part along the mold surface. Here, the form surface is understood to mean the shape of the shoulder which is given to the shoulder cap or the surface resulting therefrom. Larger gaps between the opposing surfaces of the base part and the supplementary part are - apart from the spacer or - layer 17 - so at least not in the unloaded state. In the illustrated and insofar preferred embodiment, the supplementary part is based on the support person above the base part. A reverse arrangement is also possible in principle. The base part and the supplementary part rotatably connecting pivot means 14 after Fig. 2B allows a displacement between the base part and supplementary part in the plane of the form or parallel to it.

Das Ergänzungsteil ist in den Ausführungsbeispielen nach Fig. 1A bis 2B an seiner halsfernen Kante mit einer Schultergelenkkappe 12 in an sich bekannter Weise schwenkgelenkig verbunden. Ebenso ist das Basisteil an seiner unter Einsatzbedingungen gesehenen Vorderkante mit einer Schlüsselbeinkappe 15 und an seiner Hinterkante mit einer Schulterblattkappe 16 schwenkgelenkig in an sich bekannter Weise verbunden. Diese Gelenkverbindungen sind nicht Bestandteil der vorliegenden Erfindung und frei wählbar.The supplementary part is in the embodiments according to Fig. 1A to 2B hingedly connected at its off-edge with a shoulder joint cap 12 in a conventional manner. Likewise, the base part is connected at its seen under use conditions leading edge with a collarbone cap 15 and at its trailing edge with a shoulder blade cap 16 pivotally connected in a conventional manner. These joints are not part of the present invention and are freely selectable.

Das Ergänzungsteil ist etwa nach Art einer bikonvexen unsymmetrischen Linse geformt, d.h., es weist auf der zum Hals weisenden Kante eine gebogene Kantenform auf, wobei in Fig.1A das Drehgelenk nahe des Zenits angeordnet ist. Wie aus Figur 1 A/B und Fig.2A/B ersichtlich, überlappt das Basisteil 11A das Ergänzungsteil 11B. Diese Überlappung kann in der (in Fig. 1 A/B und Fig.2A/B dargestellten) Nullstellung im Extremfall 100% betragen. Bevorzugt ist - wie dargestellt - die Überlappung geringer als 100%. Wie nämlich aus Figur 1 A/B und Fig.2A/B ersichtlich, weist das Basisteil 11A an seiner halsfernen Kante bevorzugt eine Randausnehmung 13 auf, die, wie dargestellt, vorzugsweise zum Hals hin gebogen ist (Fig.1B) oder polygon gestaltet ist (Fig.2B) und einen Freiraum für das Gelenk der Tragperson bildet, der durch eine überlappende elastische, insbesondere textile, Distanzscheibe oder -schicht 17 gepolstert sein kann. Die verbleibende Überlappung von Basisteil und Ergänzungsteil gestattet es, dass auch bei extremen Verdrehungen, keinen Spalt in Normalen-Richtung der Schulterkappe 11 zwischen dem Basisteil und dem Ergänzungsteil entsteht.The supplementary part is shaped approximately in the manner of a biconvex unbalanced lens, ie, it has on the edge facing the neck on a curved edge shape, wherein in 1A the hinge is located near the zenith. How out FIG. 1 A / B and 2A / B, the base part 11A overlaps the supplementary part 11B. This overlap can in the (in Fig. 1 A / B and 2A / B shown) zero position in extreme cases be 100%. Preferably, as shown, the overlap is less than 100%. Like out FIG. 1 A / B and 2A / B, the base part 11A preferably has at its distal edge a peripheral recess 13 which, as shown, is preferably bent towards the neck (FIG. 1B ) or polygon ( 2B ) and forms a free space for the joint of the support person, which may be padded by an overlapping elastic, in particular textile, spacer or layer 17. The remaining overlap of the base part and supplementary part makes it possible that even with extreme twists, no gap in the normal direction of the shoulder cap 11 between the base part and the supplementary part is formed.

Fig. 3 zeigt, dass das Ergänzungsteil an ihrem distalen Ende eine vom Hals der Trag-Person fort gerichtete, abwärts gebogene Verlängerung 18 an Stelle von oder in Ergänzung zu einer Schultergelenkkappe aufweisen kann. Fig. 3 shows that the supplement may have at its distal end a downwardly bent extension 18 away from the neck of the wearer instead of or in addition to a shoulder joint cap.
