Foster, Maplewood, NJ., assigner to` United States Rubber Company, New York, N.Y., a corporation of New Jersey Filed Sept. 17, 1959, Ser. No. 840,761 4 Claims. (Cl. 2-2.5)
This invention is useful as a bullet-proof fabric having a capacity to resist penetration =by moving objects such as shrapnel, bullets and other relatively low energy mis- Siles and thus protect a wearer While engaged in a combat area. This invention particularly relates to a housing fabric having shrinkable pockets or spaces which tightly enclose rigid armor panels or plates inserted therein and to a method for making the armored fabric.
Prior methods of protecting soldiers have involved the use of metal breast plates which were heavy and uncomfortable, and restricted a soldiers performance during combat. In order to overcome the disadvantages inherent in the use of heavy inexible protective apparel,
bullet-proof garments made of a housing fabric having pockets in which missile resistant panels are placed have been developed as shown in the patent to Lewis, No. 2,748,391. However, such garments employ conventional non-shrinka-ble fabrics. In this type of garment, missile resistant armor panels are enclosed in panel receiving pockets which are formed by sewing superposed fabric layers together at their edges (leaving no edge open) and thus preventing the panels from being released or lost.
One object of this invention is to eliminate the sewing steps conventionally used to completely enclose the armor panels and to provide a bullet-proof armored fabric which is simple and less costly to manufacture. Another object of this invention is to provide a bulletproof fabric having overlapping armor panels enclosed and held in xed relative position by tightly embracing pockets.
This is accomplished generally by providing a double ply fabric having face and back fabrics formed of heat shrinkable yarn woven, stitched or otherwise joined together at spaced apart rows and at spaced apart width at regularly spaced intervals to form pockets of desired dimensions and having rigid armor panels inserted in said pockets; the fabric is heat shrunken and thereby the panels are held tightly by the embracing fabric plies.
A more complete description and a better understanding of -this invention may be had by referring to the drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a top View of the fabric housing showing the fabric layers; Y
FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 2--2 of FIGURE 1 illustrating the connection of one fabric layer to the other;
FIGURE 3 shows the armor insert or panel;
FIGURE 4 shows the armor panel after it has been partially inserted in the pocket of the fabric housing; and
FIGURE 5 is a sectional view of the fabric housing showing the position of the armor insert after the fabric has been shrunken;
FIGURE 6 is a front view showing a garment made of the housing fabric of FIGURE 5.
Referring now to the drawings, there is disclosed at FGS. 1 and 2 a fabric housing 1 composed of spaced apart fabric layers 2 and 3 joined together as by stitching or weaving along substantially parallel seams -4 and a lateral connecting seam 5. Each of the fabrics may be woven on a conventional loom and utilizes thermoplastic yarns in both the warp and till directions. The housing fabric is joined together so that a space or pocket between the layers is provided. These pockets are utilized to receive an armor panel 7 which has a width somewhat smaller than the width of the pocket yformed in the housing fabric. While the shape of the panel may be varied as necessary, the panel shown in FIG. 3 has a slight curvature in the lateral direction.
Inasmuch as the fabric is to be shrunken to embrace the armor panel 7, yone or both of the fabric layers 2 and 3 is composed of heat shrinkable yarns. Further the heat shrinkable yarns in the warp and ll directions may have different shrinkable capacities. Also one layer may have a greater shrinkable capacity than the other.
In FIG. 5 there is shown a sectional View of the fabric housing after the armor panel 7 has been completely inserted and after the fabric housing has been subjected to heat so that one of the fabric layers has been shrunken. In the housing shown in FIG. 5, the back layer 2 is composed of iill yarns having a much higher capacity for being shrunken than the fill yarns of the front fabric layer 3. Therefore after the fabric housing is' subjected to heat the back layer 2 shrinks considerably. more than the fabric 3 and tends to pull the fabric layer 3 around the edge of the panel forming an overlapping section at 8. This insures 4that there is no spacing between the various pockets at which a projectile could penetrate.
In the method of making this fabric housing, a plurality of fabric layers having different heat shrinkable properties are positioned one above the other and are sewn or fastened together along parallel rows and also along lateral connecting portions. The pockets thus formed are slightly larger than the armor elements which are to be inserted therein. After the plates are inserted in the pocket the entire assembly is immersed in hot water causing the fabric to shrink; the sides of the pockets, as they are drawn together, embrace each plate tightly around three sides thereof and at the same time, each row of plates overlaps the plates of the next row along one edge of each adjacent plates.
To insure that the plates overlap in a desired manner, the fabric housing is gradually inserted longitudinally (along the direction in which the plates are to overlap) into a bath of hot water at any desired angle, preferably between 30 and 90. Since the filling yarns of the back and front fabrics are thermoplastic and have unequal shrinkage properties, the back filling yarn having the higher, the immersion of the fabric housing into the hot water causes the back filling fabric to shrink more than the front lling fabric and pull the edge of one plate over the edge of the .adjacent plate in an overlapping shingle effect.
It will be recognized by those skilled in 4the art that the amount of shrinkage can be regulated by controlling one or more of the following variables: first, the type of thermoplastic yarn that is used; second, the temperature of the heating medium (in the case described the water temperature); third, the time immersed; and fourth the dimensions of the pocket of the fabric housing. The specifications of the fabrics that have performed adequately inthe above described embodiment are listed below. The Drawing-In-Draft information is included to provide the weaver with instructions as to making the fabric.
