[0001] This invention relates to an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure, and more particularly to a vest or bulletproof vest structure that can be adjusted to fit the body shape and is more comfortable. [Previous Technology]
[0002] Note that vests and bulletproof vests are commonly used equipment. Due to differences in gender, height, and body type, there are different body shapes and chest shapes. Commonly known vests and bulletproof vests are mostly flat, so they cannot fit the chest well, resulting in reduced protective effectiveness and discomfort. This should be improved.
[0003] Therefore, the inventor, in view of this, conceived the idea of the invention, and designed it based on many years of experience. After extensive research, sample testing, and multiple revisions and improvements, the inventor launched the present invention. [Summary of the Invention]
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure.
[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention provides an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure, comprising a vest and at least two back cushions. The vest can have bulletproof function. The vest has any number of hook and loop fasteners on its inner side. The back cushions comprise a first outer layer, at least two inner pads, and a second outer layer. The first outer layer and the second outer layer are combined. The first outer layer is a moisture-wicking knitted mesh fabric. The inner pads are made of polyester fiber knitted mesh fabric. The inner pads have two honeycomb-shaped inner pad outer layers. An elastic support layer is provided between the two inner pad outer layers. The support layer is woven from polyester fiber monofilaments and has a thickness of more than 3 mm. The inner pads are stacked between the first outer layer and the second outer layer. By adjusting the size and height of each inner pad, the back cushion can have a three-dimensional size variation to fit the user's body shape. The second outer layer has any number of hook and loop fasteners for quick fastening and fixing to the other hook and loop fastener.
[0007] Preferably, the vest has two shoulder straps, each of which is provided with a cushion.
[0008] The main objective of this invention is that, due to the stacking of the inner pads and the variation in size and height, the cross-sectional area of the backrest varies with the height, giving the backrest a three-dimensional shape to fit the user's body shape, especially the chest shape. Furthermore, the hook and loop fasteners can quickly fasten the backrest to the vest, allowing for flexible adjustment and replacement of the backrest according to the user's chest shape. Alternatively, the backrest can be removed, washed, and replaced to maintain cleanliness and comfort.

Implementation Method
[0010] To enable your review committee to have a better understanding of the purpose, features and effects of this invention, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the [simple illustrations]:
[0011] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the present invention provides an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure, which includes a vest (10) and at least two cushions (20). The vest (10) can have bulletproof function. The vest (10) has any number of hook and loop fasteners (A) on its inner side. The cushions (20) include a first outer layer (21), at least two inner pads (22) and a second outer layer (23). The first outer layer (21) and the second outer layer (23) are combined. The first outer layer (21) is a moisture-wicking knitted mesh fabric, and the inner pads (22) are made of polyester knitted fabric. The inner pad (22) has two honeycomb-shaped inner pad surface layers (221), and an elastic support layer (222) is provided between the two inner pad surface layers (221). The support layer (222) is woven from polyester fiber monofilament and has a thickness of more than 3 mm. The inner pads (22) are stacked between the first surface layer (21) and the second surface layer (23). By adjusting the size and height of each inner pad (22), the cushion (20) has a three-dimensional size change to fit the user's body shape. The second surface layer (23) is provided with any number of hook and loop fasteners (A) for quick hook and loop fastening to another hook and loop fastener (A).
[0012] With the above structure, since the inner pads (22) are stacked and have different sizes and heights, the backrest (20) has different cross-sectional areas when the height changes, so that the backrest (20) has a three-dimensional change to fit the user's body shape, especially the chest shape. The hook and loop fastener (A) can quickly fasten the backrest (20) to the vest (10). The backrest (20) can be flexibly adjusted and replaced according to the user's chest shape, or the backrest (20) can be removed, washed and replaced to keep it clean and comfortable.
[0013] The hook and loop tape (A), also known as Velcro, may be either a napped or hooked surface to facilitate quick hooking and fastening.
[0014] The first surface layer (21) was tested for 10 minutes at a temperature of 20±2℃ and a relative humidity of 65±2RH. The first surface layer (21) could reach a water rise height of 143 mm in the longitudinal direction and 132 mm in the transverse direction. It has a relatively fast fabric water absorption speed and can effectively help to absorb moisture and wick away perspiration.
[0015] The present invention provides an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure, wherein the inner padding surface layer (221) is woven with double-strand yarn and has better toughness.
[0016] The present invention provides an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure, wherein the first surface layer (21) and the second surface layer (23) are joined together by stitching.
[0017] As shown in Figure 5, the first surface layer (21) is a knitted mesh fabric that can absorb moisture and sweat, which absorbs the sweat from the human body and reduces the user's discomfort. Since the support layer (222) is made of monofilament and has high strength and good breathability, it can greatly increase the breathable area and help sweat evaporate when combined with the honeycomb inner pad surface layer (221). The support layer (222) is made of monofilament and has a thickness of more than 3 mm, which can generate elasticity to reduce the load, so that the cushion (20) is not only light and elastic to support, but also prevents water from further penetrating through the inner pad (22) and evaporating and dissipating early, keeping the human body in contact with the cushion (20) comfortable. The cushion (20) can be quickly fastened to the vest (10) through the hook and loop fastener (A), so that the user can easily replace and wash the cushion (20) to maintain hygiene.
[0018] In actual use, when the user wears the vest (10), the human body is supported and cushioned against the cushion (20). The cushion (20) can fit the shape of the user's chest, thereby improving comfort. The cushion (20) has the effect of absorbing moisture and wicking away sweat and helping sweat evaporate, making the human body more comfortable. The hook and loop fastener (A) can be fastened quickly and can also be quickly removed to replace or wash the cushion (20), which can prevent the absorbed sweat from producing odors and the growth of bacteria and mold, thereby improving hygiene.
[0019] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the present invention provides an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure, wherein the vest (10) has two shoulder straps (11), each of which is provided with a cushion (20) to increase shoulder comfort.
[0020] As shown in Figure 6, the present invention provides an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure, wherein the shape of the inner pad (22) can be aligned with the inner side of the first surface layer (21).
[0021] The present invention provides an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure, wherein the inner pad (22) can be perforated with any number of holes (223) so that the backrest (20) is concave and fits the shape of the user's chest.
[0022] As shown in Figures 7 to 9, the present invention provides an ergonomic (bulletproof) vest structure, wherein the backrest (20) is a plurality of, and the user's chest is placed between the gaps of the backrest (20) to conform to the shape of the user's chest.
[0023] The above description is only one preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention; that is, all equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
