  • Patent number: 12365151
    Abstract: Manufacturing method of a body protection and resulting body protection, wherein the method comprises producing a structural shell (10) with a maximum thickness of 5 mm, made of thermoplastic material, and defining a concave interior (11) and a convex exterior (12); over-moulding an expanded polystyrene layer (20) overlapping the concave interior (11) of the structural shell (10), producing its adhesion by close contact to the structural shell (10); and wherein the structural shell (10) is produced by means of the distributed placement, in a mould, of a mixture of thermoplastic material and of reinforcing fibres stable at temperatures equal to or lower than the melting temperature of the thermoplastic material, the closure and heating of the mould causing the melting of the thermoplastic material without damaging the reinforcing fibres, and the subsequent cooling of the mould, hardening the thermoplastic material with the reinforcing fibres embedded therein.

  • Publication number: 20230220595
    Abstract: The product manufactured according to the method is waterproof and provided with a cavity, such as a glove, shoe, or a backpack. Initially, a structure is made in the shape of the product by stitching portions of a laminated material attached together by corresponding seams. The stitched structure is then turned inside out and a thermally-curable silicone compound material, in uncured liquid state, is applied on the seams. The structure with applications is then simultaneously subjected to heating with a curing temperature of the material, and to a vacuum operation with pumping means that suck in air from outside the structure with applications into the structure and extract it outside. The invention also relates to a system for manufacturing according to the method.

  • Patent number: 11135810
    Abstract: A multi-layered material that includes a layer of natural leather or collagen leather with holes and/or micro-holes and coated with a hydrophobic agent, which is superimposed and adhered, by means of hydrolysis-resistant adhesives, said adhesives being arranged in a non-laminar fashion, to a layer of waterproof, breathable material to prevent the passage of water and to allow the passage of air therethrough.

  • Patent number: 10687577
    Abstract: A protective liner, attachable to the inner surface of a helmet, comprising an inner face and an outer face oriented towards the inner surface of the helmet, wherein the joining of faces gives rise to a plurality of inflatable chambers permeable to water vapour and connected by means of pressurised air distribution channels. The chambers and channels form a single body extending at least along the inner surface of the helmet above the Frankfurt plane. The outer face comprises a layer of rigid material while the inner face comprises a layer of elastic material, whose area expands when the chambers are filled with air, such that the expansion in volume occurs mainly by means of the deformation of the elastic layer.
