Bullet-resistive insert assembly for a backpack and the like

A bullet-resistive or projectile-resistive insert assembly includes at least one anti-ballistic material sheet formed peripherally for receipt in a sheet-covering envelope. An exterior sheet-covering envelope assembly envelops or covers the anti-ballistic material sheet or sheets and includes anterior and posterior envelope material layers. The anterior and posterior envelope material layers are respectively received in anterior and posterior relation relative to the anti-ballistic material thereby sandwiching the same intermediate the enveloping material layers. The anti-ballistic material comprises an outer peripheral stack contour formed to match and mate with an inner peripheral envelope contour of the exterior sheet-covering envelope assembly. The anti-ballistic material includes an anterior stack section, a central stack section, and a posterior stack section. The central stack section has a central stack top-to-bottom length relatively greater in magnitude than an anterior stack top-to-bottom length and a posterior stack top-to-bottom length respectively associated with the anterior and posterior stack sections.

Combination deltoid and bicep guard
11598611 · 2023-03-07 · ·

A deltoid guard has a body-conforming surface and can be removably attached to a body armor component by an expandable, releasable connector to facilitate articulation and expansion and contraction relative to the body armor component. An expandable strap is located on one side of the deltoid guard to retain the guard against the wear's body. A bicep guard can be attached to the deltoid guard such that the bicep guard can articulate with respect to the deltoid guard. The deltoid guard includes an opening to receive ballistic material. An identification panel can be removably attached to the surface of the deltoid guard.

BALLISTIC AND ATHLETIC PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
20230118690 · 2023-04-20 · ·

Ballistic and athletic personal protective equipment utilizing rigid panel(s) featuring designs for improved cooling employing “stack effect” airflow in combination with optimized wearer contact surface geometry. Improved ballistic and athletic personal protective equipment designs contain rigid panel(s) for protection of wearer from impacts, ballistic threats and the like. The equipment is provided with spacers arranged to provide a stack effect powered airflow between rigid panel(s) and wearer, cooling the same. The spacers are further designed, dimensioned and arranged to provide optimal heat transfer and mass transfer efficiency from wearer to cooling air within the protective equipment system, providing optimal cooling effects. The system is simple, light, and inexpensive, providing improved wearer comfort and safety from hyperthermia for optimal performance at elevated temperatures.

Tension Memory System for Wearable Equipment
20220325984 · 2022-10-13 ·

A tension memory system that provides a mechanism allowing a user to set an appropriate amount of tension in wearable equipment on an initial wear cycle and then hold that setting through multiple wear cycles. The tension memory system allows for faster, more repeatable fit to enhance wearer safety and comfort. The tension memory system may also include additional functional features, such as storage or an integrated holster. The system is low-profile and may help to extend the life of wearable equipment such as armor carriers, ballistic vests, and other safety equipment.
