Abstract
A protective armor construction which reduces blunt action trauma and provides excellent penetration resistance, includes multiple layers arranged in serial relation between the front and back. These layers include a first plurality of layers of a penetration resistant material fabricated of high strength, e.g., aramid, fibers. These layers are secured together at the peripheral edge, e.g., by sewing, and are backed by a first plurality of backing layers of a thermoplastic polyester extrudable in sheet form, such as polyethyleneterephalate. Next is a further plurality of layers of a penetration resistant material fabricated of high strength fibers. These layers are disposed in serially contacting, unsecured relation so that the layers can individually flex and expand in response to bullet impact. These layers are backed by a further plurality of layers of an extrudable thermoplastic material.
