An armor system for flexible cables and conduits

摘要

The invention provides an armor system for ballistic protection of a flexible conduit, the system comprising a plurality of protective tubular elements in axial alternating array with double-socket joint elements, the outer peripheral ends of the tubular elements being provided with a convex curvature complementary to a concave curvature provided along the inner peripheral ends of the double-socket joint elements, a protective tubular element being inserted in each end of the double-socket joint elements, the curved peripheral end allowing any tubular element connected to a double-socket element to tilt freely relative thereto.
