- the invention is applicable to body armor of varying and different configurations. Some embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the attached drawings. The invention is not limited to these embodiments.
- FIG. 1 is an illustration of a typical protective garment in the form of a vest 10 including front and back ballistic panels 12 and 14 , respectively, which are configured to be worn over the front and back portions of a wearer's torso.
- the panels 12 and 14 themselves, are enclosed in ballistic material carriers 16 and 18 , respectively.
- the carriers 16 and 18 are joined to each other by shoulder straps 20 having one end 22 stitched to the carrier 18 of the back panel 14 .
- the other ends of the shoulder straps 20 are adjustably connected by hook and loop fasteners 24 to the carrier 16 of the front panel 12 .
- the panels 12 and 14 are secured together at the sides of the torso by side straps 26 having adjustable hook and loop fasteners 28 at one end and having opposite ends 29 secured by stitching or other suitable means to the carrier 18 of the back panel 14 .
- Each one of the panels 12 and 14 includes a number of subpacks, designated “ 30 ” herein when not referring to a particular panel configuration.
- a subpack is a plurality of layers (designated “ 32 ” herein when not referring to a particular layer configuration) of ballistic material, joined together as one unit, which unit is then joined with one or more additional subpacks to form a ballistic panel.
- This construction is shown schematically in FIG. 2 in which a number of subpacks 30 are joined together to form the panel 12 .
- the panel 12 described herein is exemplary; the back panel 14 may be similar.
- a panel is made from a plurality of subpacks rather than only one, to provide improved performance and flexibility while minimizing weight.
- the panel 12 ( FIG. 1 ), which is flat and flexible, has an outline defined by an outer periphery (perimeter) 34 that is of a particular shape and which encloses the surface area of the panel.
- Each one of the plurality of subpacks 30 preferably has substantially the same outline as the overall panel 12 .
- Each one of the plurality of subpacks 30 includes a plurality of layers 32 of ballistic material, each preferably having substantially the same outline as the overall subpack. As a result, all the layers 32 of all the subpacks 30 when placed atop each other, together form the panel 12 which has the outline defined by the outer periphery 34 .
- one or more reinforcing strips is added to the combined layers 32 of ballistic material.
- Each strip is preferably a continuous piece of plastic without any openings therein. When the strip is applied to the fabric, there is open space around its perimeter. The strips are used reinforce specific, targeted areas, to provide added trauma protection at these areas.
- One suitable material is polypropylene. Materials other than plastic can be used.
- a typical dimension for the reinforcing strips used in subpacks constructed in accordance with the present invention is 3′′ wide (three inches in width) by the selected length (typically from 8′′ to 12′′, for example). Such strips are used on subpacks whose overall dimensions (height, width) are determined by the overall sizes of the vests, often in the 12′′ to 18′′ range. Other dimensions are possible.
- a subpack has more than one strip.
- each strip is sewn on separately, with its own stitching sections. The strips may overlap each other.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of an “I-Cut” subpack 40 , in which a single reinforcing strip 42 extends vertically along the subpack, at a location centered laterally on the ballistic material.
- a single reinforcing strip 46 extends horizontally along the subpack.
- a T-Cut subpack 48 ( FIG. 5 ) includes the features of both the I-Cut and the L-Cut subpacks, i.e., strips 50 and 52 .
- An H-cut subpack 54 ( FIG. 6 ) includes a first reinforcing strip 56 extending vertically along the subpack near the left edge of the subpack.
- a second reinforcing strip 58 extends vertically along the subpack 54 near the right edge of the subpack.
- a third reinforcing strip 60 extends horizontally along the subpack.
- a typical reinforcing strip used in a subpack constructed in accordance with the present invention covers about 5% of the surface area of the subpack.
- the range of coverage can be as much as about 20% to about 25% for one strip, or as little as about 2% to about 3% for one strip.
- the range of coverage can be as much as about 20% to about 50% or more for all strips in total.
- the reinforcing strips add stiffness, so there must be a balance between extra protection and flexibility.
- the reinforcing strips are typically not oriented along the perimeter of the subpack, but rather typically extend across (along) the width or height of the subpack.
- the strips are thus typically oriented either vertically or horizontally on the subpack when it is being worn.
- the strips typically are, at their ends where they are closest to the perimeter, oriented perpendicular to the perimeter of the subpack.
- Each reinforcing strip is typically secured by one to three parallel sew lines that extend along the length of the strip.
- the subpack may have perimeter stitching as is common, and that perimeter stitching may extend across the ends of the strips, but any such perimeter stitching is not the primary stitching that secures the strips to the ballistic material.
- the sewing of the strips completes the formation of the subpack 30 , if there is only one reinforcing strip in the subpack. If there is more than one reinforcing strip in the subpack, then the others are sewn on one at a time to complete the subpack.
- a panel constructed in accordance with the present invention provides a reduction in blunt trauma to the wearer.
- the strip When there is an impact directly on the reinforcing strip, the strip provides increased resistance to trauma (backface deformation). More reinforcing strips may provide more performance; thus, an H-Cut subpack can provide more benefit in this regard than, for example, an I-Cut subpack. Twisting and bunching is also reduced to some extent by the presence of one or more reinforcing strips.
- the strips are located to provide trauma reduction where it may be considered to be most needed.
- its single vertically extending reinforcing strip is preferably laterally centered, to provide substantially increased trauma protection at the critical locations of the sternum and spine.
- its single horizontally extending reinforcing strip is preferably placed at the location of the lower rib cage, and provides substantially increased trauma protection at that vulnerable area.
- the T-Cut configuration embodies both of these features.
- the H-Cut configuration provides two vertically extending reinforcing strips spaced apart laterally on either side of the sternum or spine, as well as a horizontally extending reinforcing strip at the location of the lower rib cage, to provide substantially increased trauma protection in all these locations.
- This invention thus also relates to a method of making a ballistic panel for use in helping to protect a torso of a wearer of the panel, comprising the steps of providing a plurality of subpacks each including a plurality of layers of flexible ballistic material; identifying a surface portion of a first one of the plurality of subpacks that will overlie a specific vulnerable area of the wearer's torso when the panel is worn by the wearer, the surface portion being located inward of the outer periphery of the first subpack; sewing a reinforcing strip to the first subpack to cover the identified surface portion of the first subpack, by a stitching section that does not extend along the perimeter of the first subpack; and assembling the first subpack with the remaining subpacks of the plurality of subpacks, to form the ballistic panel.
- the reinforcing strip provides added trauma protection at the vulnerable area when the panel is worn by the wearer.

FIG. 1 is an illustration of a typical protective garment in the form of avest 10 including front and backballistic panels panels ballistic material carriers carriers shoulder straps 20 having oneend 22 stitched to thecarrier 18 of theback panel 14. The other ends of theshoulder straps 20 are adjustably connected by hook andloop fasteners 24 to thecarrier 16 of thefront panel 12. In use, thepanels side straps 26 having adjustable hook andloop fasteners 28 at one end and havingopposite ends 29 secured by stitching or other suitable means to thecarrier 18 of theback panel 14. - Each one of the
panels FIG. 2 in which a number ofsubpacks 30 are joined together to form thepanel 12. (Thepanel 12 described herein is exemplary; theback panel 14 may be similar.) A panel is made from a plurality of subpacks rather than only one, to provide improved performance and flexibility while minimizing weight. - The panel 12 (
FIG. 1 ), which is flat and flexible, has an outline defined by an outer periphery (perimeter) 34 that is of a particular shape and which encloses the surface area of the panel. Each one of the plurality ofsubpacks 30 preferably has substantially the same outline as theoverall panel 12. Each one of the plurality ofsubpacks 30 includes a plurality oflayers 32 of ballistic material, each preferably having substantially the same outline as the overall subpack. As a result, all thelayers 32 of all thesubpacks 30 when placed atop each other, together form thepanel 12 which has the outline defined by theouter periphery 34. - In at least one
subpack 30 of thepanel 12, one or more reinforcing strips is added to the combinedlayers 32 of ballistic material. Each strip is preferably a continuous piece of plastic without any openings therein. When the strip is applied to the fabric, there is open space around its perimeter. The strips are used reinforce specific, targeted areas, to provide added trauma protection at these areas. One suitable material is polypropylene. Materials other than plastic can be used. - A typical dimension for the reinforcing strips used in subpacks constructed in accordance with the present invention is 3″ wide (three inches in width) by the selected length (typically from 8″ to 12″, for example). Such strips are used on subpacks whose overall dimensions (height, width) are determined by the overall sizes of the vests, often in the 12″ to 18″ range. Other dimensions are possible.
- In some cases, a subpack has more than one strip. In such a case, each strip is sewn on separately, with its own stitching sections. The strips may overlap each other.
- As one example,
FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of an “I-Cut”subpack 40, in which a singlereinforcing strip 42 extends vertically along the subpack, at a location centered laterally on the ballistic material. For an L-cut subpack 44 (FIG. 4 ) of similar dimensions, a singlereinforcing strip 46 extends horizontally along the subpack. A T-Cut subpack 48 (FIG. 5 ) includes the features of both the I-Cut and the L-Cut subpacks, i.e.,strips - An H-cut subpack 54 (
FIG. 6 ) includes afirst reinforcing strip 56 extending vertically along the subpack near the left edge of the subpack. A secondreinforcing strip 58 extends vertically along thesubpack 54 near the right edge of the subpack. A thirdreinforcing strip 60 extends horizontally along the subpack. - A typical reinforcing strip used in a subpack constructed in accordance with the present invention covers about 5% of the surface area of the subpack. The range of coverage can be as much as about 20% to about 25% for one strip, or as little as about 2% to about 3% for one strip. The range of coverage can be as much as about 20% to about 50% or more for all strips in total. Of course, the reinforcing strips add stiffness, so there must be a balance between extra protection and flexibility.
- The reinforcing strips are typically not oriented along the perimeter of the subpack, but rather typically extend across (along) the width or height of the subpack. The strips are thus typically oriented either vertically or horizontally on the subpack when it is being worn. As a result, the strips typically are, at their ends where they are closest to the perimeter, oriented perpendicular to the perimeter of the subpack.
- Each reinforcing strip is typically secured by one to three parallel sew lines that extend along the length of the strip. The subpack may have perimeter stitching as is common, and that perimeter stitching may extend across the ends of the strips, but any such perimeter stitching is not the primary stitching that secures the strips to the ballistic material.
- The sewing of the strips completes the formation of the
subpack 30, if there is only one reinforcing strip in the subpack. If there is more than one reinforcing strip in the subpack, then the others are sewn on one at a time to complete the subpack. - A panel constructed in accordance with the present invention provides a reduction in blunt trauma to the wearer. When there is an impact directly on the reinforcing strip, the strip provides increased resistance to trauma (backface deformation). More reinforcing strips may provide more performance; thus, an H-Cut subpack can provide more benefit in this regard than, for example, an I-Cut subpack. Twisting and bunching is also reduced to some extent by the presence of one or more reinforcing strips.
- The strips are located to provide trauma reduction where it may be considered to be most needed. For example, in the I-Cut configuration, its single vertically extending reinforcing strip is preferably laterally centered, to provide substantially increased trauma protection at the critical locations of the sternum and spine. In the L-Cut configuration, its single horizontally extending reinforcing strip is preferably placed at the location of the lower rib cage, and provides substantially increased trauma protection at that vulnerable area. The T-Cut configuration embodies both of these features. The H-Cut configuration provides two vertically extending reinforcing strips spaced apart laterally on either side of the sternum or spine, as well as a horizontally extending reinforcing strip at the location of the lower rib cage, to provide substantially increased trauma protection in all these locations.
- This invention thus also relates to a method of making a ballistic panel for use in helping to protect a torso of a wearer of the panel, comprising the steps of providing a plurality of subpacks each including a plurality of layers of flexible ballistic material; identifying a surface portion of a first one of the plurality of subpacks that will overlie a specific vulnerable area of the wearer's torso when the panel is worn by the wearer, the surface portion being located inward of the outer periphery of the first subpack; sewing a reinforcing strip to the first subpack to cover the identified surface portion of the first subpack, by a stitching section that does not extend along the perimeter of the first subpack; and assembling the first subpack with the remaining subpacks of the plurality of subpacks, to form the ballistic panel. The reinforcing strip provides added trauma protection at the vulnerable area when the panel is worn by the wearer.
