Description

The invention relates to the defense industry, namely to personal protective equipment against damage from shell and mine fragments, firearms and bladed weapons, and can be used when performing combat and tactical training tasks.

There is a known utility model RU 202190 U1 "Transport modular vest with a quick release device", MPK F41H 1/00, containing the right and left shoulder surfaces of the vest, made in such a way that each of them is separated into two separate parts, one part is associated with the chest section vest, and the second with the back, and the back section is also divided vertically in the center in half. Metal half-rings are attached to the edges of the detachable shoulder surfaces and the back section so that metal cables passing through them fasten all parts of the vest into a single whole. All detachable parts of the vest are fastened together by using two metal cables - long and short, connected to a pull ring in the chest section of the vest, namely in its left part near the subclavian region of the body. Metal tubes are attached to the top of the back section using fastenings, which are designed to facilitate the passage of metal cables and prevent them from rubbing the cervical region. When you pull out the pull ring, a short metal cable comes out of the metal half-rings attached to the right shoulder surface of the vest, then from the metal tubes with fasteners and the metal half-rings on the left shoulder surface of the vest. At the same time, behind the pull ring, a long metal cable exits through the metal half-rings of the left shoulder surface of the vest and the metal half-rings attached to the right and left parts of the back section, and at the ends of both metal cables (short and long) there is a 90° bend to prevent their spontaneous exit from metal half-rings, that is, to prevent spontaneous disconnection.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the low reliability of the quick release device due to the presence of metal tubes and metal half-rings, which can be deformed and pinch the cable, which will not allow the vest to be quickly dropped, as well as the fact that the vest does not reduce the severity of armored local contusion injury, low protection against damage from shell fragments and mines, firearms and bladed weapons, fire mixtures. (RU 202190 U1, http://new.fips.ru).

There is a known utility model RU 107338 U1 “Combined arms modular body armor”, MPK F41H 1/00, containing a chest section, a back section, a side left section and a side right section, connected by means of a quick release device, while the side sections on the back side are equipped with slings with metal frames, and on the front side one section is equipped with a loop, and the other with an adjusting sling with a quick-release buckle; in addition, both side sections are equipped with belt slings with quick-release buckles designed to fix the chest section, and the quick release device is made of a cable and a detachable system knots: waist knot and shoulder knots; in addition, the front part of the collar is made integral with the chest section and is equipped with a cover designed to secure the cable of the quick release device.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the low reliability of the quick release device due to the presence of slings with metal frames that can be deformed and pinch the cable, which will not allow you to quickly release the body armor, low protection against damage from fragments of shells and mines, firearms and bladed weapons, and fire mixtures. (RU 107338 U1, http://new.fips.ru).

The solution “Body armor “6B45”” is known, containing chest, back, waist sections, and a collar consisting of external covers with ballistic packages placed in them. In the ballistic package of the chest and back sections there is a ceramic-composite armor panel consisting of a ceramic plate and a composite substrate. The body armor has an emergency release device and a system for attaching removable pouches. Body armor weight 8 kg.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the large weight of the body armor, the low reliability of the armor panel due to the properties of the ceramic plate, namely fragility, on which microcracks form after impact, which leads to its destruction when hit by a small arms projectile, as a result, low protection against damage from shell fragments and mines, firearms and cold steel, (https://spec-army.ru/katalog-38221/bronezhilet-6b45-tsifra-rf).

Of the known solutions, the closest in technical essence to the claimed object is the utility model RU 130061 U1 "Body armor "7B-VV"", MPK F41H 1/02, containing chest and back sections, a replaceable belt, a removable apron, collar, shoulder pads and leg guards consisting from external cases with ballistic packages placed in them. Ballistic packages of the chest and back sections, a replaceable belt and a removable apron are made with internal pockets for placing armor panels. The chest and back sections of the body armor are connected to each other using a shoulder adjustment system and a replaceable adjustable belt. The shoulder adjustment system can consist of two independent belt fastenings. The collar consists of two parts, which are attached to the inner sides of the outer covers of the chest and back sections, respectively. The design of the collar allows for the possibility of folding and fixing it in a deferred state to increase the convenience of shooting. The outer cover of the collar, facing the neck, is made of soft material that does not irritate the skin. The chest section apron, with the ballistic package housed in it, is a removable element of the body armor that can be removed or stored in a full-size pocket formed by the inner layer of the body armor chest section cover and the damper. The pocket is secured with a textile fastener. A belt loop can be sewn into the bottom of the apron for easy removal from your pocket. The shoulder pads consist of external covers and ballistic packages sewn into them. The shoulder pads have the anatomical shape of the shoulder and are attached to the shoulder parts of the back section. Gaiters consist of outer covers and ballistic packages sewn into them. Gaiters are securely attached to the waist belt and to the person’s thigh. The leg guards are attached to the waist belt using vertical adjustable belt straps with buttons and a Fastex-type buckle. The legguards are attached to the human thigh using two adjustable horizontal straps with Fastex-type buckles. On the inner sides of the outer covers of the chest, back sections and belt, a shock-absorbing system with damping elements (dampers) is provided to reduce armor contusion injury and create channels for natural ventilation of the vestibular space. On the outer side of the back section cover, in its upper part, there may be an evacuation loop stitched along the entire length of this section, which is supplemented with an evacuation rope no less than 2.5 meters long. The evacuation rope can be attached to the back section of the body armor and placed in a removable bag located on the back section. The body armor can be equipped with an additional emergency release device consisting of a set of elements that ensure quick separation of the chest and back sections from each other.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is low protection against damage from fragments of shells and mines, firearms and bladed weapons, fire mixtures, low reliability of the emergency release device due to the large number of structural elements, and the large weight of the body armor due to the presence of an evacuation cable located in a removable bag on the back section. (RU 130061 U1, http://new.fips.ru).

The task to which the stated solution is aimed is the development of individual armor protection that, with low weight, provides high protection of the user’s torso from damage from shell and mine fragments, firearms and cold weapons, fire mixtures, as well as reducing the severity of armored local concussion injury, increasing the reliability of the device for quickly releasing armor protection .

The essence of the invention

The problem is solved due to the fact that the outer cover of the armor protection elements is made of lightweight high-density material using reinforced thread, and the ballistic package located in it is made of layers of aramid heat-resistant fabric with a discrete polymer coating. Ballistic chest pack (1) fig. 1 and dorsal (3) figs. 2 sections have a pocket with a V-shaped sling fastener, in which an armor plate made of ultra-high molecular weight high-density polyethylene is located. The device for quick release of armor protection includes a rubber-loop system formed by the left (5) of Fig. 4 and right (6) waist sections having loops (16) on the side of the back section (3) through which the elastic band for fixing the waist section (17) passes, so that it is between the loops (16) of Fig. 6 of the right (6) and left ( 5) the waist section formed a half-loop with the cable (13) and contained at the ends a bend through which the cable (13) passes, located from the right shoulder strap (9) FIG. 4, which on the side of the back (3) section has a loop (14) FIG. 6 located on two loops of the cable tunnel (15) FIG. 4, along the back (3) section into the cable tunnel (15), which is a vertical channel formed by belt loops located on the back (3) section.

Personal armor protection has a quick release device, which includes a cable (13) FIG. 4, a rubber-loop system connecting the left (5) and right (6) waist sections with the back section (3), the right shoulder strap (9). Right shoulder strap (9) fig. 4 on the side of the back section (3) has a loop (14) located on two loops of the cable tunnel (15). Cable tunnel (15) fig. 6 is a vertical channel formed by belt loops located on the back section (3). Cable (13) fig. 4 passes along the right shoulder strap (9), the back section (3) into the cable tunnel (15). The end of the cable (13) coming out of the tunnel (15) is fixed under the slings of the right waist section (6). The end of the cable (13) located on the right shoulder strap (9) has a loop. The right (6) and left (5) waist sections on the side of the back section (3) have loops (16). Through the loops (16) Fig. 6 of the right (6) waist section there is an elastic band for fixing the waist section (17), so that between the loops (16) of the right waist section (6) it forms a half-loop with the cable (13) and contains a bend at the ends through which the cable (13) passes. , and also through the loops (16) of the left waist section (5) there is an elastic band for fixing the waist section (17), so that between the loops (16) of the left waist section (5) it forms a half-loop with the cable (13) and contains a bend at the ends through which the cable (13) passes. Rubber-loop system and part of the cable (13) Fig. 4 are located under the valve (4) of the back section (3). The quick release device is designed to instantly remove armor protection in an emergency.

Detachable connections of individual armor protection are textile fasteners, which ensures high maintainability in field conditions. The armor protection has a camouflage coloring. To form external armor protection covers, a reinforced thread with a breaking load of more than 3000 cN is used, for example, a 70 ll reinforced thread. At bend points and other places of armor protection covers that work at tension, the stitching is stitched 2 to 5 times. The textile fastener is attached to the armor protection covers using a single stitch. The effective protection area of the torso of personal armor is 0.57 m ² . Due to the wide arrangement of the shoulder straps (9) FIG. 5 you can put on armor protection from any position. Armor protection in protection class 3 has a weight of 7.5 kg evenly distributed over the user's torso, which increases his endurance. The slings used for armor protection are made of polypropylene threads, which are resistant to sudden temperature changes, do not absorb liquids, are neutral to acids and are lightweight materials, which reduces the weight of the armor protection. In a particular case, the armor protection contains removable shoulder pads. The armor protection is non-toxic and meets regulatory hygienic and sanitary-epidemiological requirements. The permissible time for continuous wearing of armor protection without armor plates is at least 24 hours, with armor plates - 5 hours. The armor protection is compatible with the military personnel's summer and winter uniforms and standard transport and unloading systems.

The technical result of the claimed solution is to increase the reliability of the device for quickly releasing armor protection, as well as to reduce the severity of armored local concussion injury and provide high protection of the user’s torso from damage from shell and mine fragments, firearms and bladed weapons, and fire-mixed armor protection having low weight.
