Ballistic Protection Device with Multifunctional Load
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current bullet protection systems are not comfortable for daily use, are not accessible to the general population, and lack full dorsal protection with quick activation and sufficient storage capacity without compromising the protection system.
Innovation Solution
A ballistic protection device with adjacent panels providing front, rear, and side protection, joined by mechanical and/or magnetic elements, integrated into a main sac with independent storage compartments and shoulder straps, allowing for easy activation and adjustable fit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of stationary object
If panels are stored inside the suitcase, then storage capacity is improved, but the protective panels may suffer damage to the material or system by use, deformation of the material or pressure with whatever elements are stored
Solution Approach 1:
The ballistic protection device is divided into a main sac and adjacent panels that are integrated together. The panels are positioned adjacent to the main sac rather than stored inside it, creating separate functional zones that prevent damage to protective panels while maintaining storage capacity.
2Ease of operation
If compartments are opened for activation, then protection deployment is improved, but activation time increases which can make it difficult to use in times of crisis
Solution Approach 1:
The adjacent panels are pre-positioned and integrated with the main sac in a ready state. The mechanical elements are pre-assembled and the panels are in place, requiring only simple manipulation to activate protection rather than deploying from stored compartments.
Solution Approach 2:
The ballistic protection panels are merged with the main sac structure through mechanical elements, creating an integrated unit where protection and storage are combined. This eliminates the need to open separate compartments for activation.
3Volume of moving object
If protective panels are integrated into storage space, then compactness is improved, but the protective panels may reduce the storage space for other items that the user needs/wants to carry
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into a main sac for storage and adjacent panels for protection, with the panels positioned outside the main storage volume. This segmentation allows both functions to coexist without one compromising the other's space.
4Reliability
If complex functioning mechanisms are used, then protection effectiveness is improved, but the complex functioning generates in times of crisis, an increase in activation time and therefore higher risk of damage to the system or zipper
Solution Approach 1:
The mechanical elements are designed to be self-latching and self-releasing, allowing the user to activate protection with a single simple action. The system serves itself by maintaining its protective configuration without requiring complex manual manipulation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device offers quick and effective full-body ballistic protection with minimal activation time and ample storage capacity, suitable for various user sizes, including children, without compromising the storage space or durability.
Implementation Method 1

AI summary
Ballistic protection device with built-in multifunctional load, comprising a ballistic protector, a main sac and at least one shoulder strap. The device comprises a single body, from which adjacent panels with ballistic protection are deployed frontally, which are joined together by means of mechanical and/or magnetic secure at the front; protection is activated by coupling the front panels, which surround the user's body and are secured at the rear, opposite and longitudinal to the main storage bag, so that the single body forms a panel with front, rear and side ballistic protection of the user's torso.
