Definitions

  • the present application consists of an armored heart system that has a rotating shell as a novel and distinctive feature. This shell rotates on its own axis when hit by a projectile. This rotational movement allows to give space and thus prolong the moment of impact, with the consequent dissipation of the shock forces and the deviation of the ballistic trajectory. In this way the armored assembly, in its entirety, substantially increases its anti-ballistic capabilities without a significant increase in its weights and volumes.
  • the field of the invention relates mainly to cranial protection helmets used by members of the armed forces, police institutions and security agencies and is also applicable to other minor anti-ballistic systems, such as: Small gun turrets, general protection domes (equipment, ammunition, injured personnel, etc.) sentry sentry boxes, etc.
  • a helmet is an individual safety equipment used to protect head injuries. These exist for various purposes such as: Industrial, mining, sports, military, police, etc. Its design, characteristics and requirements are given by the associated risks and the conditions of use of each activity. In the field of defense, security agencies and police forces, ballistic risk is its main condition and they represent a challenge that invariably ends up affecting the other functionalities that a helmet with these characteristics must possess.
  • the requirements of use are related to the maximum weight allowed and minimum levels of obstruction acceptable for different situations, such as: Non-interference in the use of various weapons and equipment, allowing continuous use in prolonged and varied activities, execution without difficulties in various exercises and body postures of all kinds, etc. Lately, with the emergence of a growing variety of optronic systems attached to the helmet (night visors, cameras, communications, sensors, batteries, etc.) new requirements have been added.
  • any helmet in any helmet its fundamental structure is clearly distinguished in the form of a semi-sphere, which is usually called shell, bell, shell (Shell in English) or simply helmet. He is added a tie of clamping (cranial support tapes, chinstraps and periquejos) eventually internal protective pads and supports for external equipment.
  • the shell, or hull itself is a single structural body (manufactured by the agglomeration of layers and sub-layers) Its spherical dome shape can be somewhat oval, cylindrical, conical, etc.

  • AB shell shielding is generally manufactured by synthetic fabrics in a multiplicity of sheets and sub-sheets combined and pressed. The sequence in which these layers are ordered depends on the intended protection characteristics and properties.
  • a helmet may consider more than one set of sheets or, in other words, by one or more sub-shells superimposed or adhered to each other. Being static and being fixed; with each other, representing in practice a single unitary body. This concept of unity should not be confused when, in the technical-descriptive language, certain reactions, displacements and deformations (induced and expected) that occur in a chain are explained, when the projectile imparts this multiplicity of sub-plates, sheets and sets of sheets.

  • the rotation movement must be facilitated and stabilized with one or more properly calibrated counterweights that intensify and stabilize the shell's rotation.
  • these counterweights can cause imbalances and discomfort when the rotating shell remains at rest and to neutralize this situation, it is necessary to use retainers to fix it. Even more necessary, it is when the most exposed rotating shell does not have a fixed outer shell and is the same shell to which equipment and accessories are attached.
  • the proposed retention method is a system of structural extensions or filaments (capillaries, fins or other protuberances) that link the fixed and articulated neighboring shells. They can be structural extensions common to both independent shells or filaments that are embedded in the shells or be single-shell extensions that are embedded in the neighboring structure. Its resistance is limited to retaining the shell and they break off or break, when said resistance is exceeded by the force of an impact, releasing the rotation of the shell.

Abstract

Système de blindage antiballistique comprenant au moins une coque pivotante qui, à la réception d'un impact d'un projectile non explosif (balistique, fragment, etc.), pivote autour de son axe et, sous l'effet de cette rotation, cède de la place et allonge le moment d'impact, dissipant les énergies et modifiant leur trajectoire, de sorte que l'ensemble antibalistique est soumis à des efforts réduits, ce qui améliore ses caractéristiques. La coque rotative est retenue et articulée dans son emplacement entre des coques fixes (extérieure et intérieure, avec ou sans blindage) qui font partie du corps et de l'ensemble statique du casque. Des pièces additionnelles d'assujettissement et de pivotement permettent de renforcer ledit emplacement.
