Abstract
A ballistic-resistant material having a first exterior layer formed of a ballistic-resistant non-woven textile, a second exterior layer formed of a ballistic-resistant non-woven textile, and an interior layer of ballistic-resistant woven textile arranged between the first exterior layer and the second exterior layer. The woven textile is a tight weave. The woven layer a high occupation, high fabric density woven textile at or near the technical jamming point of fabric construction. Also disclosed are articles made from the ballistic-resistant material.
Claims24
A multilayered ballistic-resistant material comprising
- a) a first exterior layer of a first ballistic-resistant non-woven textile,
- b) a second exterior layer of a second ballistic-resistant non-woven textile, and
- c) an interior layer of a ballistic-resistant woven textile arranged between the first exterior layer and the second exterior layer,
- wherein the woven textile is a tight weave at the technical jamming point of fabric construction.
A ballistic-resistant material comprising:
- a first exterior layer comprising a ballistic-resistant felt;
- a second exterior layer comprising a ballistic-resistant felt;
- and
- an interior layer arranged between the first exterior layer and the second exterior layer, the interior layer comprising a high occupation, high fabric density, ballistic-resistant woven textile, wherein the woven textile is a tight weave at the technical jamming point of fabric construction.
A ballistic-resistant material comprising:
- a first exterior layer comprising a non-woven ballistic-resistant textile;
- a second exterior layer comprising a non-woven ballistic-resistant textile;
- an interior layer arranged between the first exterior layer and the second exterior layer, said interior layer comprising a tight-weave ballistic woven textile at the technical jamming point of fabric construction;
- and
- a layer of filament wrap, resin-reinforced textile arranged between the interior layer and one of the exterior layers.
A multilayered ballistic-resistant material comprising
- a) a first exterior layer of a first ballistic-resistant non-woven textile,
- b) a second exterior layer of a second ballistic-resistant non-woven textile,
- c) an interior layer of a ballistic-resistant woven textile arranged between the first exterior layer and the second exterior layer, wherein the woven textile is a high occupation, high fabric density tight-weave ballistic woven textile, and
- d) a layer of filament wrap, resin-reinforced material arranged between the first exterior layer and the second exterior layer.
A multilayered ballistic-resistant material comprising:
- a. a first exterior layer of a first ballistic-resistant non-woven textile;
- b. a second exterior layer of a second ballistic-resistant non-woven textile;
- and
- c. an interior layer of a ballistic-resistant woven textile arranged between the first exterior layer and the second exterior layer, characterized in that the woven textile is a high occupation, high fabric density tightly woven textile with occupation index divisors that equal a value of 1.0, wherein the woven textile is a tight weave at the technical jamming point of fabric construction.
