US12716691 - Personal ballistic shield with trauma protection

A personal ballistic protective device has a ballistic impregnable barrier formed of steel or synthetic ballistic material, an anterior layer positioned on a front side of the ballistic impregnable barrier, the anterior layer comprising a polymeric material configured to absorb and retain bullet fragments upon projectile impact, and a posterior trauma protection layer positioned on a rear side of the ballistic impregnable barrier, the posterior trauma protection layer comprising a molded low-density polymeric foam, wherein the ballistic impregnable barrier includes at least one aperture providing fluid communication between the anterior layer and the posterior trauma protection layer, and wherein impact by a projectile causes airflow through the aperture from the anterior side to the posterior trauma protection layer to reduce trauma to the wearer.

ballisticprotectionshield

The patent describes a personal ballistic protective device featuring a ballistic impregnable barrier made from steel or synthetic materials, with an anterior layer that absorbs bullet fragments and a posterior layer that mitigates trauma through molded foam. An aperture allows airflow between the layers upon projectile impact, enhancing the protective capabilities for the wearer.

Claim 1

1 . A personal ballistic protective device comprising: a ballistic impregnable barrier formed of steel or synthetic ballistic material; an anterior layer positioned on a front side of the ballistic impregnable barrier, the anterior layer comprising a polymeric material configured to absorb and retain projectile fragments upon projectile impact; and a posterior trauma protection layer positioned on a rear side of the ballistic impregnable barrier, the posterior trauma protection layer comprising a molded low-density polymeric foam; wherein the ballistic impregnable barrier includes at least one aperture providing fluid communication between the anterior layer and the posterior trauma protection layer; and wherein impact by a projectile causes airflow through the aperture from the anterior side to the posterior trauma protection layer to reduce trauma to the wearer. a ballistic impregnable barrier formed of steel or synthetic ballistic material; an anterior layer positioned on a front side of the ballistic impregnable barrier, the anterior layer comprising a polymeric material configured to absorb and retain projectile fragments upon projectile impact; and a posterior trauma protection layer positioned on a rear side of the ballistic impregnable barrier, the posterior trauma protection layer comprising a molded low-density polymeric foam; wherein the ballistic impregnable barrier includes at least one aperture providing fluid communication between the anterior layer and the posterior trauma protection layer; and wherein impact by a projectile causes airflow through the aperture from the anterior side to the posterior trauma protection layer to reduce trauma to the wearer. an anterior layer positioned on a front side of the ballistic impregnable barrier, the anterior layer comprising a polymeric material configured to absorb and retain projectile fragments upon projectile impact; and a posterior trauma protection layer positioned on a rear side of the ballistic impregnable barrier, the posterior trauma protection layer comprising a molded low-density polymeric foam; wherein the ballistic impregnable barrier includes at least one aperture providing fluid communication between the anterior layer and the posterior trauma protection layer; and wherein impact by a projectile causes airflow through the aperture from the anterior side to the posterior trauma protection layer to reduce trauma to the wearer.
