BALLISTIC RESISTANT PANEL FOR VEHICLE DOOR

摘要

A ballistic resistant panel can be configured to be quickly and easily installed in a vehicle door. The ballistic resistant panel can include a plurality of ballistic sheets arranged in a stack. The stack can have an outer perimeter sized to fit within a cavity of the vehicle door. The panel can include a cover disposed over the stack, and the cover can be sealed around a perimeter of the stack to form a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from reaching and altering the performance of the ballistic sheets. At least one anti-wear strip can be adhered to an outer surface of the cover. The anti-wear strip can provide a low friction surface that protects the panel from damage caused by moving internal door components, such as moving window components that repeatedly rub against the panel.

1. A ballistic resistant panel configured to install within a vehicle door between an outer door structure and a side window of the vehicle door, the ballistic resistant panel comprising:
a plurality of ballistic resistant sheets arranged in a stack, the stack having an outer perimeter sized to fit within a cavity of the vehicle door; a cover disposed over the stack, the cover sealed around the perimeter of the stack to form a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture on an outer surface of the cover from reaching the plurality of ballistic sheets sealed within the cover; an excess cover portion extending from a top edge of the ballistic resistant panel, the excess cover portion securable against a lip of an outer door structure by a weatherstrip; and at least one anti-wear strip adhered to the outer surface of the cover, the anti-wear strip configured to provide a low friction surface against which a moving part within the vehicle door may repeatedly contact without breaching the cover.
