Definitions
- Various embodiments relate generally to metal-mesh protective clothing, and more specifically to such clothing that is easily donned and doffed.
- Wire-mesh safety fabrics have a long and storied history. Wire-mesh safety fabrics were called chainmail and used as a kind of armor in the middle ages. As the instruments of war became more and more deadly, chainmail gave way to plate armor. And with today's instruments of war, heavy armor is the norm for today's battle arenas. But these wire-mesh safety fabrics have found use in other places in society, and continue to see use even today. These wire-mesh fabrics are made into gloves and used by butchers and woodworkers to provide cut-resistance. They are made into bodysuits and worn by scuba divers to provide shark-resistance. They are made into bodysuits and worn by sword fighting athletes to provide protection during competitions.
- Fabrics made from metal links provide good protection from contact with sharp instruments, while hanging well on the human form. Small links allow the necessary flexibility that body movements require. But fabrics made from wire mesh can be difficult to don and doff. When donning and doffing any garment, a user must cooperate with the design of the garment. Butchers use metal-mesh garments to protect themselves from accidental cuts and punctures from sharp knives and/or bones. Butchers often wear other safety equipment as well. Many butchers wear helmets, earplugs, safety glasses, breathing filters, and/or mobcaps. Butchers often work in a refrigerated environment, requiring heavy clothing in addition to their butcher specific safety clothing.
- CH 204 829 A discloses a metal-mesh butcher's apron made of a metal-mesh fabric comprising a plurality of interconnecting metal rings.
- the apron extends from a neck region to an upper thigh region and has a strap which can be fastened around the neck of a user.
- the invention provides a metal-mesh tunic having an apron region and two full-length sleeves, the tunic presenting a closed-figure neck aperture through which a user's head and neck project when worn, the neck aperture becoming an open-figure to facilitate easy donning and doffing without requiring a pullover action.
- the tunic presents a contiguous protective surface from the neck region of a user down at least a waist region and may extend down to a knee region.
- a closure system secures the tunic to a user by fixing the closed-figure neck aperture around the user's neck.
- the closure system may have a buckle including a male member attached to one side of the neck region and a female member on an other side of the neck region.
- the metal-mesh tunic may advantageously provide full frontal armored protection in an easily donned garment.
- a metal-mesh protective out fit may include the metal-mesh tunic and a metal-mesh glove having a hand region and a wrist region, the wrist region having a metal-mesh securing band attached to the wrist region at a fixed end and having a magnet attached to a free end, wherein the metal-mesh securing band secures the glove to a user by circumscribing the wrist of the user, the magnet attaching to an underlying circumscribed portion of the securing band.
- the wrist region of said related metal-mesh glove is configured to receive a hand and wrist inserted into the metal-mesh glove.
- Metal-mesh fabric at the wrist region may then be gathered as the securing band circumscribes the wrist.
- the metal-mesh of the securing band may include interconnecting metal links of ferromagnetic material.
- a grasp handle is coupled to the magnet so that the metal-mesh glove may advantageously be easily removed by a metal-mesh gloved hand of a user.
- some embodiments may permit a wearer to don a protective metal-mesh garment without having to first remove headgear.
- safety masks may remain firmly in place throughout the donning and/or doffing of metal-mesh safety clothing.
- a metal-mesh tunic may have comparatively light weight as optimally sized metal links may be used.
- metal-mesh protective clothing may be easily donned and/or doffed by hand operations performed by a gloved wearer.
- an easily doffed tunic may be quickly removed from an injured or unconscious wearer. For example, if a wearer experiences heart failure, it may be necessary to quickly doff the wearer's tunic so as to provide immediate defibrillation therapy. Or, in the case of a knife injury, it may be necessary to quickly doff the injured persons' tunic so as to apply immediate compression to reduce the blood loss. In some examples the quick removal may be facilitated by open figure of the neck aperture, which may permit removal without an overhead maneuver.

- a table shows the penetration depth of a 5.7 mm inside diameter ring to be 9.9 mm for a 30° knife blade. The table also shows the penetration depth of a 4.75 mm inside diameter ring to be 8.2 mm for a 30° knife blade.
- FIG. 10 depicts a plot of exemplary performance to illustrate a relationship between the ring diameter and stab test results.
- a chart 1000 plots test points on an x-y grid.
- An x-axis 1005 of this chart 1000 represents the outside-diameter of the ring.
- a y-axis 1010 of this chart 1000 represents the wire diameter used to make the ring.
- the weight of the resulting garment is represented by the size of the circle on the chart.
- the fill-pattern of each circle on the chart represents the safety result of the stab test.
- a speckled fill-pattern indicates that the stab test failed, and an unfilled circle indicates a passing stab test.
- a circle with a diagonal fill-pattern represents the optimal solution with regard to both weight and stab test result.
- a circle 1015 is located at the outside-diameter of 4 mm and a wire diameter of 0.5 mm.
- a garment made from this ring/wire combination passed the stab test as indicated by the diagonal fill-pattern.
- the weight of a garment made of this ring/wire combination is approximately the median of all tested.
- circle 1015 represents an average weight.
- Another circle 1020 is located at the outside-diameter of 7 mm and a wire diameter of 0.7 mm.
- This circle 1020 has a speckled fill-pattern indicating that the garment made of this ring/wire combination failed the stab test.
- the size of circle 1020 is one of the larger circles of all those tested.
- the garment made of this ring/wire combination is relatively heavy.
- a number of ring/wire combinations are tested around the 6 mm ring diameter and 0.6 mm wire diameter region of the chart 1000. The goal of this testing is to find the optimal combination of ring diameter and wire diameter that would both provide for good stab protection and light weight.
- a circle 1025 with a diagonal fill-pattern represents the combination of an outside ring diameter of 6 mm and a wire diameter of 0.62 mm. This circle 1025 has a diagonal fill-pattern which represents a passing stab test.
- the size of the circle 1025 is one of the smaller circles on the chart, which means that a garment made of this ring/wire combination is relatively light, especially when compared to the combinations represented by the circles 1015 and 1020.
- Circle 1030 represents a ring/wire combination of 5.75 mm outside ring diameter and 0.6 mm wire diameter.
- This combination 1030 also passes the stab test and has a garment weight that is approximately that of the combination represented by circle 1025.
- both solutions are good solutions for producing stab protection while simultaneously permitting the manufacture of light-weight garments.
- FR-2898250 discloses a method for obtaining hard steel as a base material for making the steel rings, of structurally hardened metal, namely metal presenting in a certain state relatively low strength and hardness characteristics and, in any case, compatible with the steel ring cutting and shaping operations (and possibly the metal web forming operation) and supposedly presenting, after a heat treatment, higher strength characteristics, especially higher than those compatible with the aforementioned cutting/shaping (and possibly forming) operations.
- the heat treated web is possibly not totally in the form that is used for making the final garment.
- the corresponding web is finalized by any technique appropriate to the strength and hardness of the metal rings.
- the steel attaching rings can be made of a conventional stainless steel the properties of which satisfy to the standards in force and which can be bent without being dominantly harmful to the strength of the web assembly.
- the steel is subjected to a mechanical deformation/elongation, such as kneading, which enables obtaining a work hardening of the steel to approach the shaping capability limits of the steel elements (according to the available equipment and techniques). This particularity enables optimizing the later heat treatment to obtain the highest possible strength and hardness characteristics.
- An exemplary embodiment includes chain mail fabric for protective piece of garment made of a mesh of interlocking rings which rings have an external diameter of between 3.98 and 4.02 mm and are made with a wire whose diameter is between 0.47 and 0.52 mm exhibiting a tensile strength between about 1300 and 1500 N/mm 2 .
- Such characteristics are exhibited by rings formed from an embodiment of steel having an austeno-ferritic structure.
- One exemplary composition includes Fe with:
- An embodiment of steel comprising the above specified composition yields a wire of high tensile strength without the need for thermal treatment.
- the wires were processed according to a conventional method in web machines to form mail fabric which was found to be comfortable, with good protection properties against perforation, and not too heavy.
- the pieces of garment can be, for example, gloves, sleeves, aprons, chasubles, jackets, etc. If necessary, some parts of the protective garments can be made in other material, according to the level of protection required for the different parts of the garment. For example, a jacket can be made with a body and sleeves made from titanium in order to have a lighter jacket.
- devices may involve the WMSF being made in the form of a glove.
- the WMSF is made in the form of a sleeve.
- the WMSF is made in the form of an apron.
- the WMSF is made in the form of a tunic.
- the WMSF is made in the form of a pull-over (with a body and sleeves).
