Definitions

  • An-object of the invention is to provide intermediate tenacious metal plates composed of a light metal of suiicient strengthto resist the impact of' a bullet.
  • the metal is covered with a metallized ibre so that the heat from ay bullet cannot- 'set it onfire or moisture rust the plates.
  • Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a shield embodying this invention.
  • Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section' of the same.
  • Figure 3 is a of the quilt.I
  • the numeral 5 designates a series of metal plates made of. duralumin each plate being enclosed 'in a pocket 6-of fabric.
  • the pockets partly overlap each other to produce a shingleformation and each pocket is fastened at its upper end by means of stitchesl 7 to a piece of fabric 8 located at the backr of the pockets.
  • FIG. 1 perspective View of a portion Arranged at the front of the pockets is a quilted member built up of a stuin of raw China silk 9 covered with a metalized fabric 10 secured together by stitches 11 as indicated in Figure 3. A similar quilt 12 is located at the back of the fabric 8.
  • each quilt is secured by means of stitches 13 a sheet of metallized vfibre 14 and a pair of shoulder straps lsupport the shield on the body.
  • the invention is shown applied to a shield adapted to be worn under a coat but it will be obvious that it could be 'utilized for other purposes suchl as a cover ⁇ for the actuating parts of an aeroplane thus protecting it against gunshot.
  • the metallized fibre placed on the outside of the quilt is practically fire .and waterproof consequently a bullet fired from a gun at close range will not infiame the fibre nor will any moisture have' anyeffect on it.
  • the stuffing is preferably composed of China silk which by its toughness and close comvpression will retard a missile.
  • a bullet tired l at great velocity will merely embed itself in the metal aluminum and if it should go through it will be stopped by the quilt behind the plates.
  • the duralumin is used in the present device because it is much lighter than any other metal so as not to add any undue Weight to the shield member.
  • a bullet proof armor comprising a shield constructed of a series of tenacious metal plates lighter than steel, and a quilted member arranged vadjacent to the plates.
  • a bullet proof armor comprising a shield constructed of a series of metal plates, and 'a quilted member covering the plates.
  • a bullet proof armor comprising a shield constructed 'of a series of metal plates, a pocket enclosing each plate and a quilted member arranged adjacent to each pocket.v v
  • a bullet proof armor comprising a shield constructed of a series of metal plates,
  • Av bullet proof armor comprising a shield constructed of a series of metal-plates, a pocket enclosing each plate, a quilted member arranged adjacent the pla-tes, and a metallized fibre sheet secured to the quilt.
