Abstract

Armour for counteracting a stabbing threat comprises a layer 10 (50; 70; Figs. 4 and 5) of fabric material on which sheet material platelets 14 (54; 76; 78) are mounted by fasteners 18 (62; 80). Gaps created between the platelets, when the fabric layer is flexed in a convex sense, are bridged by bridging means 22 (60; 82) mounted on the fabric layer. Instead of being formed by a further layer of platelets 22, the bridging means may be formed by overlapping edge flanges (60; 82) of the first-mentioned platelets. <IMAGE>

Description

ARMOUR This invention is concerned with armour, especially armour which is intended to provide protection against stabbing threats from knives or similar weapons. Such armour can be utilised in jackets.
Armour for protection against stabbing threats has to prevent substantial penetration by a knife, has to be flexible so that the wearer can manoeuvre, and has to be light so that the wearer is able to wear it for long periods. Designs are known which meet these criteria to varying degrees but none are entirely satisfactory.
It is an object of the present invention to provide improved armour for protection against stabbing threats.
The invention provides armour comprising a layer of fabric material and sheet material secured to the fabric material, the sheet material comprising a layer of platelets covering one surface of the fabric layer, the platelets abutting one another so that, when the fabric layer is flat, they cover substantially all of said surface, the platelets being mounted on said fabric layer by means of fasteners and being free to move apart relative to one another to accommodate curving of the fabric layer in the sense which makes said surface of the fabric layer convex, the sheet material also comprising bridging sheets arranged to bridge the gaps between the platelets created when said platelets move apart as aforesaid.
Armour according to the invention is relatively light since the platelets can be made l.5mm or less in thickness, although the thickness required depends on the material employed for the platelets. For example, titanium platelets of lmm in thickness, are found to pass the standard stabbing tests. Reinforced aluminium or stainless steel may also be used. Suitable ceramic materials are silicon carbide, boron carbide and aluminium oxide.
Armour according to the invention is flexible in the sense described, ie to make said surface of the fabric layer convex, because the platelets are mounted on the fabric layer, so that, if the platelets are on the outer side, the wearer can easily put on a jacket comprising such armour and can manoeuvre while wearing it.
The bridging sheets are required to prevent a knife from passing through a gap between platelets. The bridging sheets can be provided by edge flanges on some or all of the platelets which are overlaid by adjacent platelets or overlie such adjacent platelets. The edge portions of adjacent platelets are arranged to slide across the edge flanges as the platelets move apart or together. The edge flanges are preferably in a different plane to the platelets. The edge flanges may be along all the edges of alternate platelets or, where the platelets are substantially square in plan view, all the platelets may have said edge flanges along two adjacent edges. In this case, the edge flanges meet at a corner of the platelet and may extend along an edge of the platelet to a point the width of the flange from the next corner of the platelet.
Alternatively, the bridging sheets may be formed by a further layer of platelets between the first-mentioned layer of platelets and the fabric layer, and mounted on the fabric layer by means of fasteners. Alternatively, the further layer of platelets formed by the bridging sheets may overlie the first-mentioned layer of platelets but be mounted on the fabric layer by means of fasteners which pass through the first-mentioned layer of platelets. In this case, the bridging sheets, if penetrated by a knife point, may trap the point and prevent it from sliding across the first-mentioned layer.Where the platelets in the first-mentioned layer are generally square in plan view and all of a first size and the platelets in the second layer are also generally square in plan view and all of a second size, the ratio of the width of a platelet in the first-mentioned layer to the width of a platelet in the further layer may be one to the square root of two. The diagonals of the platelets in the two layers may be arranged at 450 to one another.
The fasteners used to mount the platelets on the fabric layer may be rivets. The fasteners may be made of metal or, provided that they pass through holes that are of small diameter relative to the transverse dimensions of knives, the fasteners may be made of plastics material in order to reduce weight.
The platelets may be made of titanium, reinforced aluminium, or stainless steel.
The fabric layer may be made of aramid fibres so that their strength gives added protection.
There now follows detailed descriptions, to be read with reference to the accompanying drawings, or three armours which are illustrative of the invention.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the first illustrative armour; Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line II-II in Figure 1; Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 but of the second illustrative armour; Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line IV-IV in Figure 3; and Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4 but of the third illustrative armour.
The first illustrative armour comprises a layer 10 of fabric material which is woven from aramid fibres. The armour also comprises a layer 12 of metal platelets 14 made of titanium approximately lmm in thickness. The layer 12 of platelets 14 covers an upper surface 16 of the fabric layer 10.
The platelets 14 are all of the same size and are generally square in plan view. The platelets 14 abut one another so that, when the fabric layer 10 is flat (as shown in Figure 1), they cover substantially all of the upper surface 16. The platelets 14 are mounted on the fabric layer 10 by means of fasteners 18 which are in the form of rivets and are made of plastics material, specifically nylon although they may be made of metal eg titanium or aluminium.
The platelets 14 are free to move apart relative to one another to accommodate curving of the fabric layer 10 in the sense which makes the upper surface 16 of the fabric layer 10 convex but curving in the opposite sense causes the armour to become rigid due to engagement of the platelets 14 with one another.
The first illustrative armour also comprises metallic bridging sheets 22 mounted on the fabric layer 10 and arranged to bridge the gaps between the platelets 14 created when the platelets 14 move apart as aforesaid. The sheets 22 form a further layer 20 of platelets between the layer 10 and the layer 12. The sheets 22 are secured to the fabric layer 10 by some of the rivets 18. The sheets 22 are made of titanium and are lmm in thickness.
The sheets 22 are all generally square, in plan view and of the same size, which is a different size to that of the platelets 14. Specifically, the ratio of the width of a platelet 14 to the width of a sheet 22 is one to the square root of two. Thus, for example, the sheets 22 may measure 1.41cm in width while the platelets 14 may measure lcm in width. The platelets 14 are positioned side-by-side with each corner of a platelet 14 adjacent to three other platelets. The sheets 22 are positioned similarly to the platelets 14 but with their diagonals at 450 to those of the platelets 14. The sheets 22 are mounted on the layer 10 by means of half of the rivets 18 which pass through holes 26 in the centre of a sheet 22 and a clearance hole 28 in the centre of a platelet 14.The rivets 18 also pass through holes in the fabric layer 10 and have heads engaging an upper surface of the platelet 14 and a lower surface of the fabric layer 10. The other half of the rivets 18 pass through holes 28 in the centre of the platelets 14 and pass through the layer 20 at the junction of four of the sheets 22. A quarter circle 30 is cut-off each corner of each sheet 22 to provide clearance for the rivets 18.
The first illustrative armour provides substantially complete protection against a stabbing threat since, when the fabric layer 10 is flat, the layers 12 and 20 are substantially continuous and, when the layer 10 is curved, the gaps which are created in the layers 12 and 20 occur in different places.
The second illustrative armour, shown in Figures 3 and 4, comprises a layer 50 of fabric material which is woven from aramid fibres and a layer 52 of metal platelets 54 made from titanium approximately lmm in thickness. The layer 52 of platelets 54 covers an upper surface 56 of the layer 50.
The platelets 54 are all identical and generally square, in plan view. Each platelet 54 has bridging sheets integral therewith which form two edge flanges 60 along two adjacent edges of the platelet 54. The edge flanges 60 are in a parallel plane to the plane of the platelet 54. The edge flanges 60 of a platelet 54 meet at a corner thereof and each extends along an edge of the platelet 54 to a point 62 the width of an edge flange 60 from the next corner of the platelet 54. The platelets 54 are mounted on the layer 50 by means of metal rivets 62 which are made of metal, eg titanium or plastic eg nylon and pass through central holes 64 in each platelet 54.
The platelets 54 abut one another when the layer 50 is flat with the edge flanges 60 being overlaid by edge portions of the adjacent platelets 54. Thus, the platelets 54 cover the surface 56 and an edge flange 60 is below each gap between the platelets 54. The platelets 54 are free to move apart relative to one another to accommodate curving of the fabric layer 50 in the sense which makes the surface 56 convex, with the platelets 54 sliding over the edge flanges 60. The edge flanges 60, thus, constitute metallic sheet material mounted on the fabric layer 50 and arranged to bridge the gaps between the platelets 54 created when the platelets move apart as aforesaid.
The third illustrative armour is shown in Figure 5.
It comprises a layer 70 of fabric material having an upper surface 72 covered by a layer 74 of platelets. The platelets are of two types 76 and 78 which alternate with one another. The platelets 76 and 78 abut one another like the platelets 54 and are mounted on the layer 70 by means of rivets 80.
The platelets 76 are square in plan view and planar.
The platelets 78 are also square in plan view but have edge flanges 82, similar to the edge flanges 60, along all four edges. When the fabric layer 70 is flat, the platelets 76 and 78 cover the surface 72 with edge portions of the platelets 76 overlying the edge flanges 82. Curving of the armour causes the platelets 76 and 78 to move apart with the edge portions of the platelets 76 sliding over the edge flanges 82 which, thus, constitute metallic sheet material arranged to bridge the gaps between the platelets 76 and 78.
