Device protects body parts against bullets or shrapnels, has carrier layer, layer of protective plates and energy-absorbing layer

摘要

The energy-absorbing layer (2) consists of a three-dimensional matrix based on polynorbornenes and connects the protective plates (4) to the carrier material (2). The layers form a protective layer that bends in one direction. The protective plates are quadrangular and have a maximum distance of 0.2mm from each other; they can overlap. They are made of a titanium-aluminum alloy, steel, ceramics or polycarbonate.
