ANTI-SPALLING BODY ARMOR PROTECTION SYSTEM

摘要

An anti-spalling ballistic body armor device, usable in a vest or jacket form configured for being worn on a body, includes one or more plates made of ballistic metal material, the plate having a surface defining a strike surface for orientation away from a wearer's body in use, and having a spacing body and anti-spalling body and/or enclosure for preventing the spalling of bullets that hit the body armor device and thereby reduce bodily injury, the one or more plates also being configured with a flange portion to redirect bullet fragments away from the wearer's head and being further contoured by the formation of at least one bend in the plate.
