Abstract
Disclosed herein are multiple implementations of impact suppressors. Each impact suppressor is formed of multiple polymer layers. In implementations each polymer layer is one of the following: a solid polymer layer, a flat foam polymer layer, a corrugated polymer layer, and/or a peak-and-valley shaped polymer layer. The impact suppressors are configured to be worn by a user below a bullet-proof vest to reduce the impact force from an impact, such as from a bullet or other projectile hitting the bullet-proof vest, thus reducing the likelihood of injury and/or bruising.
Claims20
An impact suppressor, consisting of:
- one or more flat foam polymer layers;
- one or more secondary polymer layers selected from the group consisting of:
- peak-and-valley shaped polymer layers each comprising a repeating pattern of peaks separated by valleys, and polymer webbing layers;
- one or more tertiary polymer layers selected from the group consisting of:
- solid polymer layers and corrugated polymer layers, and;
- a covering substantially enclosing the one or more flat foam polymer layers, the one or more secondary polymer layers, and the one or more tertiary polymer layers;
- wherein the impact suppressor is sized and shaped to fit between a user and a bullet-proof vest being worn by the user.
An impact suppressor, consisting of:
- one or more flat foam polymer layers;
- one or more additional polymer layers selected from the group consisting of:
- solid polymer layers, peak-and-valley shaped polymer layers, polymer webbing layers, and corrugated polymer layers, and;
- a coupler holding the one or more flat foam polymer layers and the one or more additional polymer layers snugly together;
- wherein the impact suppressor is sized and shaped to fit between a user and a bullet-proof vest being worn by the user.
An impact suppressor, consisting of:
- a plurality of polymer layers selected from the group consisting of:
- solid polymer layers, peak-and-valley shaped polymer layers, flat foam polymer layers, polymer webbing layers, and corrugated polymer layers;
- wherein the plurality of polymer layers are not configured to stop the passage therethrough of a bullet fired from a firearm, and;
- wherein the impact suppressor is enclosed within a bullet-proof vest.
