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 shrapnel against the soft body armor component. Other embodiments of a ballistic vest system having a ballistic vein component may be described and claimed.
Claims18
A ballistic vest system comprising:
- a ballistic vest having a pocket;
- a soft body armor component within the pocket of the ballistic vest for dissipating the force generated by the impact of a ballistic projectile;
- and
- a framework to the ballistic vest that is exterior to the soft body armor component and provides structural integrity to and prevents sagging of the ballistic vest, the framework having a body defined by a front surface, a rear surface, and a peripheral edge, the body of the framework positioned adjacent to the soft body armor component within the pocket of the ballistic vest, the body of the framework made from a material that further dissipates the force generated by the impact of the ballistic projectile against the soft body armor component.
