Benefits of technology

The fabric offers superior penetration resistance, flexibility, and comfort by distributing force across multiple plates, allowing for ease of movement and breathability, making it suitable for protective garments in hazardous environments.

Problems solved by technology

This property of force distribution enhances the strength of the fabric without requiring more dense plate material, thicker plate material, additional layers of plate arrays, stronger bonding materials, or other strength enhancing properties all of which reduce flexibility, tactility, bendability, twistability, and optional stretchability and increase cost.

Abstract

A puncture, pierce, and cut resistant fabric comprised of a plurality of sheets of plates arranged in a repeating pattern. A material interconnects the plates. The fabric is twistable, bendable, and flexible. It is constructed of substances that will withstand cutting, puncture, and piercing forces encountered in medical or other environments.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation of and claims priority of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 980,881, filed Nov. 3, 2004, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 610,748, filed Jul. 6, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,962,739, issued Nov. 8, 2005, the contents of which are both hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The fabric of this invention is primarily useful to afford excellent defense and protection against penetration forces including cutting, shearing, and slashing forces, even by jagged or serrated instruments applied at excessive force and impacts of extended duration. The inventive fabric also provides an excellent level of penetration resistance to sharp puncturing and piercing forces.[0003]The fabric is comprised of layers, in which at least one of the layers has an array of plates. The plates in an array maintain a spaced relationship with each other by mean...
