Definitions

  • the present technology relates to anti-ballistic systems, and more particularly to a versatile foot guard that is of a relatively lightweight construction and which provides ballistic protection with a full range of motion and joint articulation for the foot of an individual, a soldier, or a policeman.
  • Ballistic protection systems are widely used throughout the world in military, police, personnel protection, and security applications.
  • the range and types of anti-ballistic protection systems are vast.
  • much research and development has been devoted to providing improved body armor, for example, in the form of improved anti- ballistic vests, bulletproof torso protection, etc.
  • no feasible option for foot protection has been provided or fielded, which clearly demonstrates an unfulfilled need.
  • the present technology relates to the rigid protective materials form fitted materials built into the heel and toe cup of the boot, as well as the arch portion of the boot.
  • the ballistic toe protection fits into an enlarged toe cap which is sewn into the boot.
  • This enlarged toe cap is made of traditional, and is sized appropriately to allow insertion of the ballistic shaped toe protection into it while accounting the thickness of the ballistic material.
  • the shaped ballistic piece is held by adhesive to ensure it stays in place.
  • the shape and placement of the heel, toe and arch pieces provides the body surface area for protection to the foot below the ankle without hampering the normal movement of the foot for function without adding unacceptable weight.
  • the present technology is configured to primarily provide ballistic protection for the wearer's foot.
  • the major platform for the device is the standard issue boot.
  • the technology includes three components added into the manufacturing of the boot: a molded toe cup, a molded heel cup, and a molded arch support.
  • the standard toe cup is made from leather, cardboard or synthetic material and sewn to the sole of the boot. The purpose of this piece is to hold the shape of the toe portion of the up so it will not contact the toe.
  • the heel piece has similar placement and function.
  • the arch piece is secured directly to the sole of the boot, for which the thickness of the sole of the boot is shaped to receive the arch piece.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side view of one foot which shows the placement of the toe and heel in relation to the foot.
  • FIGURE 2 is the bottom, side and front to back view of the heel piece.
  • FIGURE 3 is the top, side and oblique view of the toe piece.
  • FIGURE 5 is the side view of the arch piece.
  • the foot guard is shown herein.
  • the foot guard includes three pieces per foot which are composed of an acceptable composite material.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side view of one foot which shows the placement of the toe and heel in relation to the foot. The three pieces are shown relative to their placement on the foot.
  • FIGURE 2 is the bottom, side and front to back view of the heel piece.
  • the heel piece is a molded/formed ballistic shield of the same relative size and shape as the existing heel cup in the standard issue ARMY boot.
  • the ballistic piece is fitted into the boot by means of gluing the shaped ballistics into the formed shaping cardboard, in a manner similar to steel toed boots.
  • the covered portion shall be centered over the top of the toes, and end just distal to the junction of the foot.
  • the bottom is relatively flat open having a lip around the rim which will seat against the flat portion of the sole. The sole of the boot slides into the lip of the flat bottom where it sets.
  • FIGURE 3 is a top, side and oblique view of the toe piece.
  • the toe piece is a shaped piece of composite type or other protective type material shaped to make a cup which covers the end and top of the toes. It is cut out along the bottom with the exception of a lip to allow the piece to align and attach to the shaped toe cup of the boot.
  • the top of the toes are covered to just short of the tarsus joint conjoining the toe with the foot.
  • the device affixes to the boot by sliding it into the shaping cardboard normally built into the boot. It slides in and is glued as it seats in place.
  • FIGURE 4 of an overhead view of the arch piece This portion is built into the sole of the boot.
  • the round portion seats into the lip of the heel cup.
  • the arch piece seats there providing coverage for the underside of the foot.
  • the square or toe side of the piece ends at the distal arch of the foot.
  • the width of the piece is sized to allow the placement of this piece into the bottom of the boot, like an insert.
  • FIGURE 5 is a side view of the arch piece. This is the same piece as in Figure 4.
  • the upwards curvature of the middle of the piece supports the natural arch of the foot, supporting while it protects.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une série de plaques anti-projectiles groupées à l'intérieur de la construction de la botte, ce qui permet un niveau accru de protection du pied, plus précisément l'avant et le sommet de l'orteil, l'arrière et le côté du talon ainsi que la plante du pied. Le matériau ballistique doit comprendre un matériau ballistique rigide ou semi rigide comportant des fibres en aramide, du polyéthylène de masse moléculaire élevée, une combinaison de ceux-ci, ou autres types de fibres de performance élevée.
