Description

The invention relates to the production of tiles, both as an independent product and with the possibility of installing anti-fragmentation bags and armor plates.

The present invention uses the following terms and knowledge known in the art:

The tile is a cover for armor plates, but it can be brought to the level of a full-fledged body armor by installing armor plates and anti-fragmentation bags.

Body armor is a finished product with an established armor protection class, usually combining anti-fragmentation bags and armor plates. (dms-mk1.livejournal.com).

Anti-fragmentation package - made of at least ten layers of ballistic material made of aramid fibers.

Cummerbund - sides of a bulletproof vest (left and right sides), with molle cells and the ability to place anti-fragmentation bags inside.

MOLLE – minus: MOLLE is a fastening system for equipment, which involves attaching a sling system to a product to obtain mounting holes, while MOLLE – minus excludes attaching a sling system to a product because Mounting holes are cut using laser equipment.

Triple fabric is a fabric consisting of three layers.

IR remission is the property of tissue to absorb infrared rays.

EVA sawn - Ethylene vinyl acetate - a light and elastic material with good shock-absorbing properties, superior to polyethylene in transparency and elasticity at low temperatures, and has increased adhesion to various materials (Wikipedia).

There are known tiles in which armor plates and other protective elements are located in covers

Body armor of the Russian army and the armies of other countries and commercial body armor use covers for armor plates and anti-fragmentation bags.

A known body armor contains chest and back sections placed in covers and connected by fastening and adjusting elements to a textile fastener, made in the form of a set of protective elements, each of which consists of a bimetallic armor plate, a package of ballistic fabric made of high-modulus fiber and a damping element. (pat. RU N 2172920, 2001).

A body armor is known, containing a front shelf and a back, made of multilayer high-modulus fabric, equipped with ventilation and shock-absorbing support and armor elements, a protective apron, a collar, a folding bar, a visor in the upper part of the back, means of fastening the components of the vest and adjusting it to the human figure, a waistband belt, shoulder pads, equipped with stops for the belts of wearable property and the butt of a weapon. The vest is equipped with a removable cover under the armor panels, an apron and a folding strap, attached to the front shelf with carabiners. The removable cover under the armor panel is equipped with synthetic tapes with a loop at the ends, covering the bottom of the armor panel and attached with a loop to the carabiners of the cover, and on the side surface of the folding bar - a belt loop made of synthetic tape (pat. No. 2229673, 2002).

A general-arms modular body armor is known, which is made according to a modular principle and consists of separate modules: chest section, back section, side left section and side right section. The body armor is characterized by the fact that the chest, back and side sections are equipped with covers for placing protective anti-fragmentation screens and pockets for bulletproof armor panels - unified for the chest and back and for the side sections and apron (utility model patent No. 107338, priority - 03/15/2011, published 08/10/2011). This technical solution is adopted as a prototype.

Disadvantages of covers for tiles or body armor in general:

1. The cover has a rather complex volumetric structure, so it is sewn at specialized enterprises by the hands of experienced specialists. Those. The product is labor-intensive, which means its cost and final price are quite high. In addition, the rather high labor intensity of manufacturing a cover (tiles or body armor in general) poses a certain problem for organizing the production of covers for (tiles and body armor) in mass quantities, which is an urgent task.

2. Cases of known designs have a perimeter and area significantly larger than the perimeter and area of the armor plate installed in it. This discrepancy significantly complicates the creation of body armor with effective anti-fragmentation protection, primarily in the upper and side zones outside the perimeter of the armor plate. This circumstance was also noted in patent RU N 2172920, 2001): “... in a bulletproof vest there is a high probability of injury to the user in the shoulder and side areas due to the lack of sufficient protection of the shoulder and side areas, there is no protection of the groin area.”

3. In practice, the cover may tear and then the entire contents of the covers of the chest and back sections may end up on the ground. A torn cover requires replacement, and it is not easy to find it separately.

4. A dirty cover has to be washed completely, and not just one of the necessary parts. To do this, it is necessary to completely disassemble and remove, and then insert back all its contents (armor plates, anti-fragmentation bags), which takes some time and is inconvenient.

5. Thus, the mere presence of a non-modular cover is not the ideal end result of a tile or body armor design.

The technical result of the claimed invention is to eliminate the above-described disadvantages inherent in tiles with sewn-on pockets for the chest and back sections, as well as with side pockets. and creating a method for manufacturing modular tiles (body armor), which is an alternative to the existing known designs of tiles (body armor), which has the following advantages:

a) there are no sewn chest, back and side tile pockets;

b) the possibility of manufacturing bulletproof vests without gaps in the side, upper and lower zones adjacent to the armor plate;

c) the ability to quickly change the level of protection and use numerous options for using modules;

d) increasing the comfort for soldiers in using the inventive tiles;

e) the share of labor of highly qualified seamstresses is not required or is significantly reduced, as is the case with modern sewing of tiles in specialized companies;

f) the possibility of reducing the cost and price of manufactured tiles;

g) access to large-scale and mass production of tiles according to the proposed method.

The technical result of the claimed invention is achieved using a method for manufacturing and assembling a modular tile (body armor), including a chest section, a back section, a waist and shoulder section, and the method includes the selection of materials, cutting, sewing and assembly of the tile, characterized by the fact that:

- chest and back sections, consisting of chest and back frame modules, are made of triple camouflage nylon and stitched along the outer contour of the tile and on its area, while:

- the tile set at least includes frame modules: chest, back, cummerbund,

- along the perimeter of the chest and back frame modules there are fastening elements that, together with the chest and back modules, form pockets for covers with ballistic plates;

- the tiles are made of triple camouflage nylon;

- in the technology of cutting chest, back and cummerbund frame modules, laser equipment is used, textile slings are cut using an ultrasonic machine;

- in the technology of sewing tiles, the modules of the chest, back and cummerbund frames are stitched along the contour to fix the layers, give density, and prevent delamination of the fabric, as well as the stitching of the MOLLE -minus system.

This design of the chest, back modules and fastening elements makes it possible to eliminate the chest, back and side covers of the tile that are usually sewn to the tile.

From the figures below it is clear that the chest, back and cummerbund frame modules and other elements are made flat, forming a single flat structure, which significantly simplifies the design and assembly of the tiles compared to the prototype, and the execution of the tiles from triplated camouflage nylon meets the necessary requirements for density and wear resistance material for tiles.

In addition, the method is characterized by the fact that the fastening elements, which together with the chest and back modules form pockets for covers with ballistic plates, are side and bottom flaps, as well as upper straps, while Velcro fabric and Velcro contact Velcro are used to secure covers with ballistic plates in the pockets of the tiles,

The fastening elements can be made differently in different versions of the tiles.

Covering (covering) the fastening elements of covers with ballistic plates (or armor plates) allows you to create a design of a complete body armor without gaps in the upper and side zones of the tile.

In addition, the method is characterized by the fact that triple camouflage nylon with IR remission with a density of 1000D is used as the tile material.

In addition, the method is characterized by the fact that Velcro fabric is sewn onto the inner side of the cummerbund frame module, forming a pocket for installing ballistic packages; the outer part of the Velcro fabric is intended for installing climate-shock-absorbing support (CAP).

In addition, the method is characterized by the fact that the tiles are assembled as follows:

- covers with ballistic plates are inserted into the internal pockets of the chest and back frame modules;

- the mating parts of the lock for the chest and back frame module, made of acetal plastic, are installed on the chest frame module;

- the second part of the lock for the chest and back frame module and the shoulder cap are placed on the shoulder strap; the cap is laced with a cord;

- one of the parts of the fastex is put on the bandoleer and fastened to the mating part, which is located on the chest frame module.

In addition, the method is characterized by the fact that:

- assembly of the cummerbund frame module begins with the installation of ballistic packages in the cummerbund pockets;

- the cummerbund frame module is installed on the back frame module from the outside under the sewing flap and secured through a safety cord;

- the cummerbunds are assembled together with an elastic shock cord and the second part of the lock is installed for the chest and back frame module.

In addition, there are additional features:

- prompt change of protection class;

- fastening of various modules, removable pouches on the tiles.

The development of tiles without covers in the chest, back and side sections, according to the claimed method, is an alternative to the existing known designs of tiles (body armor), and is very cost-effective.
