Carrying out the invention

The multifunctional protective unloading vest (see Fig. 1) consists of a chest module 1, a back strap 2 and a shoulder strap 3.

Chest module 1 contains a main panel on which a lower panel 4 and an upper panel 5 are located, and side straps. On the reverse side of the main panel is the lower rear piece. On the side straps there can be fasteners 6 to secure the front modular panel, installed on top of the bottom panel 4 and having slots for installing equipment, for example, pouches.

The upper 5 and lower 4 panels form pockets on the main panel, in which it is possible to install an armored element and an armored panel to protect the user. The entrance to the pockets can be fixed with a textile fastener.

The front surface of the top panel 5 is equipped with textile tapes with textile fasteners sewn on top, forming MOLLE slots for installing pouches. The front surface of the bottom panel is equipped with textile fasteners for fastening the front modular panel. At the corners of the total area of the textile fastener there are horizontal slots for attaching the waistband adapter.

If necessary, the top panel 5 with the corresponding part of the main panel can be stored in the lower pocket for thermal regulation of the user. The appearance of the multifunctional protective unloading vest without the top panel 5 is shown in Fig. 2.

Shoulder strap 3 is a U-shaped wide belt thrown over the neck. Shoulder strap 3 can be made of two layers of polyamide fabric, between which there is a seal made of polyethylene foam. On top of strap 3 there is a sling made of textile tape of smaller width, forming slots. The sling can be attached to the shoulder strap using a buckle or shoulder strap adapters. Preferably, the sling is sewn to the webbing with transverse ties at intervals, forming loops (slots). It is possible to attach various elements to the formed loops using hooks, including additional equipment. The optimal width of the shoulder strap and its small thickness make it possible to ease the impact of the load on the shoulder area.

Each side strap of module 1 has a metal hook buckle, which is attached to the corresponding ends of the shoulder strap in the loops of the sling.

The back girth 2 is located on the user’s back and ensures that the multifunctional protective unloading vest is pressed tightly against the body. It contains side girths and a waist girth, which are designed to be adjustable in length. Various designs of back girth are possible 2.

In this application we will describe several options.

The first version of the dorsal girth is shown in Fig. 2 .

In this version, the side straps consist of two tapes running in the scapular area and under the armpits, which are secured at one end to the shoulder strap, and at the other end they are fixed on the corresponding sides of the main panel of module 1. Fixation can be performed, for example, with a buckle-lock (fastex) . Each tape contains a double-slit buckle, with which the length of the tape can be adjusted for each user.

In this version, the waistband is a ribbon divided into two parts, connected by an elastic cord with a lock. An elastic cord with a lock allows you to adjust the length of the waist circumference, thereby ensuring a tight fit in the lumbar region of the user. The free ends of the waistband are fixed on the corresponding sides of the main panel of module 1, as shown in Fig. 2. Fixation can be performed, for example, with a buckle-lock (fastex).

A multifunctional protective unloading vest with a back girth design according to the second option is shown in Fig. 3 .

In this embodiment, the side straps 7 are attached to the shoulder strap and the waist strap, made of at least two horizontal rows of tapes 8 (Fig. 3 shows a three-row version) and secured to the side of the main panel 4 with a retainer 9.

The appearance of the side girths 7 is shown in Fig. 4. On the outer side of the side girth there are horizontal rows of tapes into which polymer inserts can be sewn to give them rigidity, preventing the side girths from moving relative to each other, thereby ensuring the preservation of the distribution of the same load on each girth during use. Each side girth is a vertical tape 10, connected to each other at the bottom by an elastic tape 11, into which polymer inserts can be sewn to give them rigidity, preventing the side girths from moving relative to each other, thereby ensuring the preservation of the distribution of the same load on each girth during use. Each vertical tape 10 contains a metal hook buckle for attachment to the shoulder strap and a double-slot buckle for length adjustment, and the lower part of the tapes 10 is made to form at least two slots 12 (3 slots are shown in Fig. 4). The slots are made using fastening stitches. The corresponding horizontal belts 8 of the waist circumference are threaded through the slots 12, which ensures the fixation of the side straps on the waist circumference.

The waistband consists of two parts, each of which is a set of at least two horizontal rows of multilayer tapes, between the layers of which polymer material can be located. In fig. Figure 5 shows a variant of the appearance of a three-row waistband.

These parts are connected to each other using elastic cords with a lock, allowing for volume adjustment of the waist circumference.

In the proposed embodiment, the connection of one part to another is carried out as follows. The tapes are stitched with transverse ties at intervals that form loops, and there are eyelets at one end of the tapes. The eyelets of the bands of one part are connected by means of an elastic cord with loops on the corresponding band of the other part. The other part is connected in the same way. As a result of this connection, the tapes of one part partially overlap the corresponding tapes of the other part. It is preferable that the overlapping tapes are located in the slots 12 of the side girths, which would fix their relative position.

The free ends of the waistband are secured to the side of the main panel of the chest module. Fastening can be done either using fasteners, for example, fastex, or using a textile fastener.

In fig. Figure 6 shows an embodiment of a multifunctional protective unloading vest with a back panel 13 in the back girth.

The back panel is made of two sections that form a pocket, and is designed to accommodate elements of armor protection and user equipment. When the armor protection element is installed, it provides rear protection for the user. The pocket is entered with a textile fastener.

In the upper part of the rear panel 13 there is a portable loop 14 and slots for attaching additional equipment. The portable loop 14 is designed for easy carrying of the product. Slots for attaching equipment consist of several horizontal rows of tape with space between each other. In the image shown (see Fig. 6), six slots are formed on the tapes. The tapes are fixed with power fastening stitches on a special sewing machine. The slots for attaching equipment have textile loop fasteners. Also in the upper part of the rear panel there may be a textile loop fastener for attaching an element of the neck armor protection module.

On the lower part of the front side of the back panel 13 there is an external flap to protect the waist circumference adjustment elements 8. In the middle part of the back panel 13 there may also be several horizontal strips on which additional slots are formed for attaching equipment.

The back panel 13 is attached to the shoulder straps with 3 fastening elements. The fastening elements can be made in the form of tapes, at the end of which there is a textile fastener, and the other end is fixed on the back panel. The free ends of the tapes are threaded through the shoulder straps and secured to a return textile fastener located on the back panel. This fastening method allows you to quickly attach the back panel and provide height adjustment. In fig. Figure 6 shows an option in which the fastening element strips are fixed on the inside of the rear panel.

The lower part of the inner side of the rear panel contains vertical belts having slots into which horizontal belt belts 8 are threaded. The design of the waist belt has been described above.

On the back panel, two textile loop fasteners can be additionally located vertically on the reverse side for attaching climate-shock-absorbing supports.

In the proposed embodiments of the inventions, the main elements are made of polyamide fabric. The polyamide fabric can be used Cordura Invista™ fabric, composition 100% polyamide 6.6, linear thread density 500 Denier (D) or Special elastic fabric, composition 96% polyamide, 4% elastane, linear thread density 1000 Denier (D).

The advantage of a multifunctional protective unloading vest is its lightweight design, the ability to quickly change the configuration by installing or removing additional equipment, including armor protection, and the proposed design allows you to quickly adjust the height and volume on the user without removing the vest. The presence of polymer inserts inside the waistband provides additional rigidity of the structure, which allows you to evenly distribute the load of equipment placed on the system and prevents deformation of the product when used in conjunction with a backpack.

In this case, the implementation of the described version of the shoulder strap together with the attachment of other units to it (chest module and back strap) provides a low-profile design, which allows you to combine wearing the vest with a backpack.
