Abstract
Embodiments of ballistic vest system including a ballistic vest having a soft body armor component with a ballistic vein component positioned behind and adjacent the soft armor component for providing structural support to the ballistic vest and provide further dissipation of forces generated by the impact of a ballistic projectile and/or shrapenl against the soft body armor component. Other embodiments of a ballistic vest system having a ballistic vein component may be described and claimed.
Claims20
A ballistic vest system comprising:
- a soft body armor component for dissipating the force generated by the impact of a ballistic projectile;
- and
- a ballistic vein component positioned adjacent the soft body armor component, wherein the ballistic vein component defines a front surface, a rear surface and a peripheral edge, wherein the ballistic vein component is made from a material that further dissipates the forces generated by the impact of the ballistic projectile against the soft body armor component.
A method of a manufacturing a ballistic vest system comprising:
- forming a soft body armor component made from a material that dissipates the forces generated by the impact of a ballistic projectile;
- forming a ballistic vein component having a generally planar-shaped body defining a front surface, rear surface and peripheral edge;
- and
- forming a ballistic vest configured to receive the soft body armor component and ballistic vein component;
- and
- positioning the ballistic vein component adjacent the soft body armor component within the ballistic vest.
