Description

DESCRIPTION

TECHNOLOGICAL SECTOR

The invention is related to Boots Antiminas to protect the human being from antipersonnel land mines, particularly the lower limbs avoiding mutilations or amputations due to the effect of the explosive wave.

PREVIOUS ART DESCRIPTION

Due to the armed conflict that exists in several countries of the world, there are daily military combatants and / or civilians who lose their lower extremities because of the antipersonnel land mines used by insurgent and / or terrorist groups.

These mines generally contain between 50 and 70 grams of explosive material, many of these include metal fragments (chips) that do more damage, not only to the limb that steps on the mine but also to the limb that gives way. The explosive wave is so strong that boots with metal midsole are being manufactured to counteract it; There are also other boots that use protectors, shock absorbers or platforms that protect relatively well the effects of antipersonnel landmines, but significantly impede the natural movement to the combat conditions of the military when walking, running, jumping, etc.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

By means of the invention, a boot is created which, due to its characteristics, both in structure, assembly and construction materials, results in an armored boot that is resistant to impact and to the explosive wave generated by antipersonnel mines, which in turn allow movements normal in combat conditions, such as walking, running, jumping etc. The construction of this boot is made of water-repellent leather, which for a better performance it is preferred that it be between 1.8 and 2.1 mm thick.

The boot of the invention is formed in its upper part by a SKIRT made of leather which is attached to the upper part of the COAT; The capped, an important element of the boot is integral together with the part of the heel with which the heel is prevented from being in direct contact with the sole and therefore in direct contact with the explosion area of the antipersonnel mine. These two elements have a STRENGTH STRIP in water-repellent leather that covers the joints of the Heel and the Cap. Between the junction of the cap and the reinforcement strip, a COUNTERFUER of at least three (3) layers of anti-explosive material with ping pong effect and with a minimum caliber of 2 mm is placed. Another characteristic part of the boot of invention is the TONGUE which is attached to the heels and the hood, which is bellows type, integral, in its inner part protected with anti-explosive material and a bonded lining to provide comfort and comfort. Once these parts are assembled, two (2) integral inner linings of anti-explosive material are placed, one being longer than the other, to overlap the assembly template and protect the effects and damages in soft tissues, bone system and vascular system that may cause the explosive wave in the leg that is taking the step at the time of the explosion. To provide comfort and convenience, a solid, high-strength and bonded soft lining is assembled that will be in direct contact with the skin. The boot of the invention has a PUNTERA of synthetic fibers of high resistance to tearing, tearing, tearing and impact with ping pong effect with a minimum caliber of 1.5 mm. THE ARMAR TEMPLATE, is made with minimum anti-explosive material three (3) layers and a minimum size of 2 mm. The boot of the invention has another template that I will call a FINISHING TEMPLATE TEMPLATE, it is made with anti-explosive material of minimum six (6) layers and a minimum size of 3 mm and is placed to close the bottom of the assembled assembly. This can be replaced by a corrugated or smooth metal template, lined with anti-explosive material to have a higher level of impact resistance, to the explosion and dissipate the kinetic energy that causes damage to the soft tissues and the bone and foot system . SOIL TEMPLATE, is made with anti-explosive material between nine (9) to sixteen (16) layers, with holes distributed in such form that allow the passage of the rubber of the footprint towards the upper and inner part of the sole, which provides static and resistance to impact and to the explosive wave and covered by a vulcanized rubber layer in the upper and lower part thereof. The SOLE must have the heel integrated, it must be in the form of a box to achieve more contact area in the contour of the assembled cut, allowing greater static and resistance of the materials at the moment in which the explosion occurs; This design and construction can be used in processes such as direct injection, direct molding, cold bonding (Opanque System). The footprint of the sole has a non-slip design with channels in horizontal and vertical circular shapes that contribute during the march or race in the expulsion of waste (mud, stones, clay, etc.) and allow the exit of the explosive wave. The rubber compounds used for vulcanizing the sole must be of high resistance to compression pressure, tearing and excellent steresis. In the vulcanization process and by pressure, the rubber is filtered through the holes of the sole template to give greater static and resistance. After the boot is manufactured, the inner part is placed on the template of assembling an OVERPLANTILLA made of eva rubber material and / or expanded rubber lined in cotton to provide greater comfort and convenience and cushion the impact of the explosive wave.

INTERIOR LINING, 7. CONTRAFUERTE, 8. POINTER, 9. ARMAR TEMPLATE, 10. TERMINATE ARMAR TEMPLATE, 11. SOIL TEMPLATE, 12. SOLE EYELASH, 13. SOLE. 14. OVERPLANTILLA.

The Antimine Boot of the present invention according to Figure No. 2 comprises: 1. CUT (Includes the assembly of leather parts: cap, heel, tongue, reinforcement strip and other parts such as linings, buttress and toe), 2 ARMAR TEMPLATE, 3. TRANSFERS BETWEEN LININGS, 4. TERMINATE TEMPLATE OF ARMAR, 5. SOIL TEMPLATE, 6. SOIL.

The SIDE SKIRT (See Figure No. 1, Numeral 2) is made of leather Ia which is attached to the HOODED (See Figure No. 1, Numeral 1) by its upper part, is integral, its lower part is joined together to the heel preventing it from making direct contact with the sole and therefore with the explosion area. To reinforce the heel (2) and the chapel (1) a REINFORCEMENT STRIP (See Figure No. 1, Numeral 4) is placed, covering the heel (2) and the chapel (1) joints. The COUNTERFUERTE (See Figure No. 1, Numeral 7) has at least three (3) layers of anti-explosive material and with a 2 mm caliber. THE TONGUE (See Figure No. 1, Numeral 3) is integral and bellows type. The heel, chapel, tongue and the reinforcement shot are covered by two (2) full lining (See Figure No. 1, Number 6) of anti-explosive material being one longer than the other and of sufficient length to make a good assembly on the template to assemble. To provide comfort and convenience, a solid, high-strength and bonded soft lining is assembled that will be in direct contact with the skin. The POINTER (See Figure No. 1, Section 8) is made of synthetic fibers of high resistance to tearing, tearing, tearing and impact with ping pong effect with a minimum caliber of 1.5 mm These parts of the boot they are armed on a template called ARMAR TEMPLATE (See figure No. 1, Section 9), overlapping each other and that is composed of at least three (3) of anti-explosive material, depending on the level required to withstand greater or less explosive load. The base of the compound to assemble this template can be made of polyurethane, polymers, plastics, thermoplastics or rubber; This template is made of semi-elaborated material, with high protective efficiency, hardness, mass and flexibility when walking, running, jumping, etc. After finishing the process of joining the lining to the template, the so-called ARMAR TERMINAL TEMPLATE (See Figure No. 1, Section 10) is placed with an anti-explosive material of at least six (6) layers and a minimum size 3 mm, assembled after overlaps the liners (See Figure No. 2, Number 3). This can be replaced by a corrugated or smooth metal template, lined with anti-explosive material to have a higher level of impact resistance, to the explosion and dissipate the kinetic energy that causes damage to the soft tissues and the bone and foot system .

The SOIL TEMPLATE, (See Figure No. 1, Number 11), is made of anti-explosive material between nine (9) to sixteen (16) layers, with holes distributed in such a way that they allow the rubber of the fingerprint to pass to the part. upper and inner of the sole, which provides static and impact resistance and explosive wave and covered by a vulcanized rubber layer in the upper and lower part thereof. The SOIL (See Figure No. 3) must have the integrated heel, it must be in the form of a box to achieve more contact area in the contour of the assembled cut, allowing greater static and resistance of the materials at the time the explosion occurs ; This design and construction can be used in processes such as direct injection, direct molding, cold bonding (Opanque System). The footprint of the sole has a non-slip design with channels in horizontal and vertical circular shapes that contribute during the march or race in the expulsion of waste (mud, stones, clay, etc.) and allow the exit of the explosive wave. The rubber compounds used for the sole must be of high resistance to abrasion, bending, tearing and tearing, change of hardness and deformation by compression, with excellent steresis.

The anti-explosive material used in the manufacture of the Antimines boot of this invention is made with a textile material of high resistance to breakage, tension and elongation, high resistance to weft and warp tearing, resistant to high temperatures and puncture.
