US12398279 - Depth-independent blast-resistant thermally-insulating ballistically-protective and ergonomically-improved segmented diver suit
The patent describes a segmented diving suit designed for enhanced thermal, sonic, and ballistic protection, featuring composite plates with hollow glass microspheres embedded in a polymer. These plates are strategically arranged to avoid covering the diver’s joints, improving mobility while providing robust protective features.
Claim 1
- A segmented diving suit comprising: a base layer; a plurality of composite plates; and a plurality of cover layers, each cover layer being associated with one composite plate of the plurality of composite plates; wherein each composite plate is located between the base layer and one cover layer of the plurality of cover layers, and each composite plate comprises: a first composite layer comprising hollow glass microspheres dispersed in a first carrier polymer; and wherein each composite plate of the plurality of composite plates is arranged to avoid covering joints of a diver. a base layer; a plurality of composite plates; and a plurality of cover layers, each cover layer being associated with one composite plate of the plurality of composite plates; wherein each composite plate is located between the base layer and one cover layer of the plurality of cover layers, and each composite plate comprises: a first composite layer comprising hollow glass microspheres dispersed in a first carrier polymer; and a first composite layer comprising hollow glass microspheres dispersed in a first carrier polymer; and wherein each composite plate of the plurality of composite plates is arranged to avoid covering joints of a diver.
