Abstract: A composite woven fabric made up of at least two plies of individual woven fabrics bonded together by a layer of flexible bonding resin disposed on juxtaposed surfaces of the individual woven fabrics. The bonding agent covers at least about 75%, preferably 100%, of the juxtaposed individual fabric surfaces and does not exude through the interstices of the woven fabric. The thus constituted fabric material is very good for use in making an anti-ballistic composite fabric. An anti-ballistic composite fabric is made up of at least one of these bonded woven fabrics sub-composites, preferably in combination with conventional non-woven fabric layers. This composite product has an exceptionally low areal density but still can withstand the impact of a 44 magnum projectile. It also offers excellent protection against knife and ice pick threats.

Abstract: A composite fabric having inner and outer layers and a middle layer therebetween is disclosed. The inner and outer layers may be the same or different and each layer is made up of a plurality of sub-layers. The individual sub-layers are resin bonded substantially unidirectional anti-ballistic non-woven fibers. The same or a different number of sub-layers may be used as the inner and outer layers, respectively. The middle layer is made up of a plurality of woven fabric sub-layers. Each sub-layer is a woven fabric, comprising anti-ballistic fibers or yarns, which has been calendared to an extent sufficient to flatten the sub-layer fabric and to spread the fibers of the woven yarns into the void spaces created by the weaving.

Abstract: There is disclosed a bullet resistant fabric which is capable of withstanding the penetration of a 9 mm or a .357 magnum bullet, has an areal density fo about 0.65 to 0.87 pound per square foot, and which is made up of a plurality of quilted together sub-plies of woven fabric having substantially no binder or matrix resin associated therewith.

Abstract: A composite fabric, capable of stopping the penetration of a 44 Magnum, made up of layers of non-woven and woven fabrics of Kevlar, and/or Spectra, or the like high molecular weight polymer filaments, wherein the layers of woven fabric are quilted together in a spacing sufficient to absorb the lateral component of the bullet's impact energy at an areal density of less than 1.15 lbs. per square foot and a deformation of less than 44 mm.

Abstract: A bulletproof dress shirt is disclosed which incorporates the following features: ease of installation, adjustability and removability through the use of VELCRO fasteners; lightweight design and removable bulletproof pads for ease in laundering; optional vital area protection; and design resembling a dress shirt so as to prevent other persons from discovering the fact that the garment is bulletproof, which design includes snap fasteners to permit attaching the dress shirt front over the top of shoulder straps attached by the aforementioned VELCRO fasteners, to prevent detection of the shoulder straps. Additionally, means to improve comfort by absorption of perspiration are included.

Abstract: An armored glove finger comprises a rib knit tubular member having an open end and an end closed with a seam. The tubular member is adapted to receive a human finger therein with the tip of the finger abutting the closed end and the seam disposed over the fingernail of the finger. The knit tube comprises a fiber of 100 to 650 denier made from a yarn having a tensile strength in excess of 120,000 psi. The armored glove finger resists inadvertent cuts and punctures and may be used in conjunction with conventional gloves or may be incorporated into a glove structure.
