US12392584 - Heat dispersion system for ballistic carrier

A ballistic armor carrier having a heat dispersion system for migrating heat away from between the ballistic carrier and a wearer's body. The ballistic carrier includes a carrier having a pocket for holding a ballistic panel and a thermal panel having a high thermal conductivity disposed within the pocket. The thermal panel wraps around the pocket such that the thermal panel has a first thermal panel portion configured to be positioned to the inside of the ballistic panel and a second thermal panel portion configured to be positioned to the outside of the ballistic panel. The thermal panel migrates heat away from the wearer's body from between carrier and the body to the outside of the carrier and dissipates the heat to the ambient environment.

The patent describes a ballistic armor carrier equipped with a heat dispersion system designed to transfer heat away from the wearer’s body to the ambient environment. This system includes a thermal panel with high thermal conductivity that is strategically positioned within the carrier to enhance comfort and reduce heat buildup.

Claim 1

  1. A ballistic carrier having a heat dispersion system, the ballistic carrier comprising: a carrier configured to be worn on a body of a wearer, the carrier having a first body panel for covering a part of the body, the first body panel comprising: an inner panel configured to lie against the body and an outer panel external and opposing the inner panel, the outer panel attached to the inner panel thereby forming a pocket between the inner panel and the outer panel for holding a ballistic panel, the inner panel having an inside surface facing the body and an outside surface facing away from the body, the outer panel having an inside surface facing the body and an outside surface facing away from the body; a thermal panel attached to the first body panel within the pocket, the thermal panel having a first thermal panel portion attached to, and covering, at least a part of the outside surface of the inner panel and positioned such that it is to an inside of a ballistic panel when inserted into the pocket, the thermal panel bending around proximate an edge of the pocket to a second thermal panel portion, the second thermal panel portion extending along a portion of the inside surface of the outer panel such that the second thermal panel portion is to an outside of a ballistic panel when inserted into the pocket; and wherein the thermal panel is a multi-layer material having a high thermal conductivity. a carrier configured to be worn on a body of a wearer, the carrier having a first body panel for covering a part of the body, the first body panel comprising: an inner panel configured to lie against the body and an outer panel external and opposing the inner panel, the outer panel attached to the inner panel thereby forming a pocket between the inner panel and the outer panel for holding a ballistic panel, the inner panel having an inside surface facing the body and an outside surface facing away from the body, the outer panel having an inside surface facing the body and an outside surface facing away from the body; a thermal panel attached to the first body panel within the pocket, the thermal panel having a first thermal panel portion attached to, and covering, at least a part of the outside surface of the inner panel and positioned such that it is to an inside of a ballistic panel when inserted into the pocket, the thermal panel bending around proximate an edge of the pocket to a second thermal panel portion, the second thermal panel portion extending along a portion of the inside surface of the outer panel such that the second thermal panel portion is to an outside of a ballistic panel when inserted into the pocket; and wherein the thermal panel is a multi-layer material having a high thermal conductivity. an inner panel configured to lie against the body and an outer panel external and opposing the inner panel, the outer panel attached to the inner panel thereby forming a pocket between the inner panel and the outer panel for holding a ballistic panel, the inner panel having an inside surface facing the body and an outside surface facing away from the body, the outer panel having an inside surface facing the body and an outside surface facing away from the body; a thermal panel attached to the first body panel within the pocket, the thermal panel having a first thermal panel portion attached to, and covering, at least a part of the outside surface of the inner panel and positioned such that it is to an inside of a ballistic panel when inserted into the pocket, the thermal panel bending around proximate an edge of the pocket to a second thermal panel portion, the second thermal panel portion extending along a portion of the inside surface of the outer panel such that the second thermal panel portion is to an outside of a ballistic panel when inserted into the pocket; and wherein the thermal panel is a multi-layer material having a high thermal conductivity.
