25,275. Miesch, F. W. A., and Fisher. M. Nov. 9. Body armour.-Puncture-proof fabrics for mail coats and for other purposes are formed by an arrangement of pear-shaped metal plates in rows upon canvas, Fig. 3, the plates in each row being arranged between and overlapping the plates in the preceding row. Each plate is secured by two rivets E, F, Fig. 4, each of which passes through two plates. The portion of each plate exposed in the finished fabric is of dome shape, the overlapping sides I, J are somewhat rabbeted, and the central rivet holes are countersunk. The rivets are passed through from the back, and each is formed with a shoulder against which the exposed end of the plate is firmly held, the other end being pierced with a hole of larger diameter than the rivet, so that the fabric may be stretched.
