Embodiment Construction

[0013]Embodiments of the present invention provide bullet and fragmentation resistant vests and layered fabrics, as well as methods for their construction. The vests of the invention may consist of multiple subcomponents, including, merely by way of example, a carrier vest and ballistic packs. The carrier vest may include carrier sections which accept insertion of ballistic packs, with the ballistic packs providing the bullet and fragmentation resistant properties of the vest. These vests may be concealable beneath other clothing, and may be provided in various shapes, sizes, layer packages, colors, and with different markings per standard specifications, or in some instances, user specification. Layered fabrics, for example, blankets and construction materials for bullet and fragmentation resistant structures, both stationary (i.e., buildings) and mobile (i.e., vehicles), may also be provided by the invention in the same manner as ballistic packs of the invention.

Abstract

A method is disclosed for making a bullet and fragmentation resistant vest. The method may include layering the following materials, in the following order, to create a pre-sewing ballistic pack: two layers of a Barrday TWF2006 and Twaron 2040 basket weave, ten layers of Barrday U600 four ply, and eleven layers of Dyneema SB21. The method may also include sewing at least one bar tack into the pre-sewing ballistic pack to create a pre-heat-treatment ballistic pack. The method may further include maintaining the pre-heat-treatment ballistic pack at a temperature of between about 65 and about 73 degrees Celsius at about one atmosphere for about 45 minutes to create a completed ballistic pack. The method may additionally include covering the completed ballistic pack to create a covered ballistic pack, and inserting the covered ballistic pack into a carrier vest.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to both Provisional U.S. Patent Application No. 61 / 434,297 filed Jan. 19, 2011, entitled “BULLET AND FRAGMENTATION RESISTANT VESTS AND LAYERED FABRICS” and Provisional U.S. Patent Application No. 61 / 434,301 filed Jan. 19, 2011, entitled “SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CERTIFICATION, DISTRIBUTION, MAINTENANCE, AND REWARRANTY OF TACTICAL VESTS.” The entire disclosures of both of the aforementioned Provisional U.S. Patent Applications are hereby incorporated by reference, for all purposes, as if fully set forth herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates generally to bullet and fragmentation resistant fabrics. More specifically, the invention relates to bullet and fragmentation resistant vests, and flexible versions thereof[0003]Typical bullet and fragmentation resistant vests as known in the art are rigid.[0004]This makes them uncomfortable, and sometimes impractical, for end users who may often ...
