Published 02.10.2011, Bulletin No. 4 Authors: Andreev A.S., Belyavsky AB, Ilyin R.Yu. and others. Patentee: Limited Liability Company Research and Production Company "TECHINCOM").

In addition, a transport modular vest with a quick release device (hereinafter referred to as a vest) is known, containing an exhaust ring located in the upper left part of the chest section, to which short and long metal cables are attached, and the short metal cable passes through the metal half rings attached to the left and right shoulder surfaces and through metal tubes with attachments placed in the upper part of the dorsal section near the cervical spine, a long metal cable passes through metal half rings attached to the left shoulder surface and metal half rings attached vertically in the center of the dorsal section, while with a pull ring the carbine is also rigidly connected, which secures the cable of the device for quick release of the body armor, and the short and long metal cables have a bend of 900 at the ends to prevent spontaneous disengagement (see the description of the RF patent for utility model No. 202190. Publ. 05.02.2021, Bul No. 4. Authors: Ichetovkin Ya. V., Karpenko A.I., Belousov R.A., Kotrovsky A.A. Patentee: Kotrovsky A.A.). This device in the proposed technical solution is selected as a prototype.

The design of the vest allows in emergency situations a serviceman dressed in a modular combined-arms body armor together with a vest to get rid of these elements of combat equipment at the same time. However, in the course of the research tests carried out with the developed vest, a number of significant shortcomings were revealed, namely that the metal half rings used in the design of the vest do not provide sufficient rigidity and strength of the vest. So when assessing the performance of the vest after exposure to mechanical stress, the vest could not withstand even minor loads. For example, when a serviceman wearing a vest was dragged along the ground, a small metal cable passing through the metal half-rings of the right and left shoulder surfaces of the vest slipped out of them, causing the vest to be prematurely dropped from the soldier's body, which is unacceptable. In addition, to ensure the operability and efficiency of using the vest, a significant amount of tractive effort is required, which is created on the pulling ring. This adversely affects some of the elements of the vest experiencing high static loads, which leads to their premature wear. The high force applied to extract the metal cables from the metal half rings is difficult, especially under water. Also, certain difficulties arose when attaching a long and short metal cables to the exhaust ring, which did not provide the necessary reliability of the device. The listed shortcomings in the design of the vest can affect the inability to perform a combat mission, including lead to the death of personnel, for example, when crossing water obstacles, or providing medical assistance to a serviceman. In this connection, the design of the vest requires improvement.

The objective of this utility model is to equip the vest with a device that allows simultaneously, without additional efforts, to provide a quick, reliable and simultaneous discharge of the body armor together with the transport vest, the necessary and sufficient reliability under mechanical stress, simplicity and minimum manufacturing cost.

The technical result of the proposed utility model is to provide the possibility of emergency dumping of the vest together with modular combined arms body armor without the use of improvised means and outside help, excluding the negative buoyancy of a soldier on the water, which makes it possible to save life in extreme conditions, ensuring sufficient reliability of the device when exposed to mechanical loads , low cost and ease of manufacture.

The technical solution to the proposed utility model is the use of a polymer-coated metal cable, an exhaust carabiner, metal loops, loops of synthetic material, loops for fixing the cable as part of the vest.

In this case, the essence of the work of the vest is that in an emergency situation in which a quick reset of equipment is required (body armor together with a modular transport vest), a soldier with his hands, holding an exhaust carabiner located in the left subclavian region of the body, pulls out a metal cable connected to it with a polymer coating, and the extraction carabiner is connected to the cable of the quick release device of the body armor. The cable stretches out of the metal loops sewn into the right and left shoulder surfaces of the vest and from the loop for fixing the cable, as well as from the loops of synthetic material sewn vertically in the center of the surface of the back section, separating the vest into three parts, and the body armor into two parts , ensuring the simultaneous and quick release of the entire equipment.

The utility model is illustrated by a figure, which shows a diagram of a transport modular vest with an emergency release device, where: 1 - vest; 2 - an exhaust carabiner; 3 - polymer coated metal cable; 4 - loop for fixing the cable; 5 - metal hinges; 6 - synthetic material loops.

When performing combat missions by military personnel, in order to ensure a given level of protection of vital organs, a combined-arms modular body armor is used as equipment, which includes a quick release device. The quick release device is designed to quickly release a soldier from a body armor in extreme conditions, for example, in case of injuries, when it is necessary to provide medical assistance and a body armor interferes with this, or if it is necessary to overcome a water barrier by swimming, which is not possible in a body armor in some cases (great depth and the length of the water barrier).

On top of the body armor, a transport modular vest is put on, designed to accommodate and transport weapons, ammunition and other items of equipment on a soldier together with body armor. In this case, a quick reset of the body armor is not possible, since this is prevented by a transport modular vest tightly worn on the body armor. In the event of an emergency reset of the modular combined arms body armor, the modular transport vest continues to hold the body armor on the soldier's torso, which can lead to tragic consequences.

For unhindered dumping of the vest together with the body armor, the vest has the ability to separate into three parts, providing a quick release of the soldier in critical situations. To do this, on the right and left shoulder surfaces of the vest at the chest levels there are cuts at an angle of 30 ° each relative to the horizon, dividing the vest into two separate parts - the chest right and the chest left, and an odd number of metal loops are attached to each cut so that the loops when combined they form a single channel with each other, through which a metal cable with a polymer coating passes, which ensures the connection of the thoracic right and thoracic left shoulder surfaces with the dorsal surface. Metal loops are located on the right and left shoulder surfaces of the vest, with one metal loop sewn into the right chest part, one into the left chest part, and two other metal loops are sewn, one into the right dorsal part, the other into the left dorsal part. The joining of the metal loops to each other, two on the right and two on the left shoulder parts of the vest, form channels through which a polymer-coated metal cable passes. In addition, the vest has a back (back) part, which is also divided vertically in the center in half - into the right part, which has an odd number of synthetic loops, and the left part, which also has an odd number of synthetic loops. A metal cable, passing through loops of synthetic material, connects the two back parts into a single whole. When pulling out the extraction carabiner, the polymer coated metal cable comes out of all loops. At the same time, behind the exhaust carabiner, a metal cable of the body armor comes out, which ensures its separation into two parts. Thus, a quick and unimpeded discharge from the body of a serviceman of a transport vest with a body armor at the same time is ensured.

An example of how the device works. In the event of an emergency reset of the vest 1, an exhaust carabiner 2 is pulled out, while the metal cable with a polymer coating 3 connected to it, stretches out of the loop for fixing the cable 4, metal loops 5 and from the loops of synthetic material 6.

Thus, the proposed device makes it possible to ensure, in extreme conditions, a quick simultaneous discharge of equipment from a serviceman, namely, a modular combined-arms body armor together with a modular transport vest, and high reliability of the product.
