PENETRATION RESISTANT FABRIC WITH MULTIPLE LAYER GUARD PLATE ASSEMBLIES AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A fabric(10)includes a fabric substrate 5(16)and a plurality guard plate assemblies(14)affixed to the fabric substrate(16)in a spaced relationship to each other.Each guard plate assembly(14)includes a first layer of material(18)affixed to the fabric substrate(16)and a second layer of 10 material(20)joined to the first layer of material(18)on a surface opposite the fabric substrate(16).The second layer of material(20)has characteristics different than the first layer of material(18)and are chosen commonly to meet the demands of the 15 application to which the fabric(10)is designed.
