摘要 |
The present invention is directed to structures, constructions and assemblies able and functional to protect living subjects from a range and variety of moving objects differing in size, volume, and overall shape; from projectiles traveling at many different rates of speed, and from the effects of exploding and/or advancing solid fragments moving at high velocity. More specifically, the present invention relates to protecting living human and animal subjects through the use of three-dimensional designed structures and assemblies which employ configured and dimensioned penetration-resistant plates prepared from laminated constructs comprising multiple individual layers composed of asymmetric composite materials. These penetration-resistant plates will protect living subjects from high velocity projectiles and fragments in both civilian and combat situations. More specifically, the invention relates to protecting subjects through the use of penetration-resistant prepared plates for use in a wide range and variety of erections, constructions and assemblies. As typical examples, the penetration-resistant plates can be used to great advantage as in the making of shatter-proof windows, doors, curtain wails, face masks, vests, flooring, helmets, tires, computer screens, television screens, housing, aircraft shelters/bunkers, boats, security vehicles, buildings, automotive, sport arenas, guard shields.
