METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BODY PROTECTION ITEM AND RESULTING BODY PROTECTION ITEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009944 titled 'METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BODY PROTECTION ITEM AND RESULTING BODY PROTECTION ITEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a manufacturing method for a body protection device. The method involves producing a structural shell with a maximum thickness of mm using thermoplastic material. The structural shell has a concave interior and a convex exterior. An expanded polystyrene layer is then over-molded onto the concave interior of the structural shell, creating adhesion through close contact. The structural shell is produced by distributing a mixture of thermoplastic material and reinforcing fibers in a mold. The mold is closed and heated, causing the thermoplastic material to melt without damaging the reinforcing fibers. The mold is then cooled, resulting in the hardening of the thermoplastic material with the reinforcing fibers embedded within.

  • The method involves producing a body protection device with a structural shell and an over-molded expanded polystyrene layer.
  • The structural shell is made of thermoplastic material and has a concave interior and a convex exterior.
  • The expanded polystyrene layer is overlapped onto the concave interior of the structural shell, creating adhesion through close contact.
  • The structural shell is produced by distributing a mixture of thermoplastic material and reinforcing fibers in a mold.
  • The mold is closed and heated, causing the thermoplastic material to melt without damaging the reinforcing fibers.
  • The mold is then cooled, resulting in the hardening of the thermoplastic material with the reinforcing fibers embedded within.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Body protection devices for sports activities such as helmets, knee pads, and elbow pads.
  • Protective gear for industrial workers in hazardous environments.
  • Body armor for military and law enforcement personnel.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a lightweight and durable body protection device.
  • Ensures adhesion between the structural shell and the expanded polystyrene layer.
  • Maintains the integrity of the reinforcing fibers during the manufacturing process.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced protection due to the combination of the structural shell and the expanded polystyrene layer.
  • Improved comfort and fit for the wearer.
  • Cost-effective manufacturing process with the ability to mass-produce the body protection devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

manufacturing method of a body protection and resulting body protection, wherein the method comprises producing a structural shell () with a maximum thickness of mm, made of thermoplastic material, and defining a concave interior () and a convex exterior (); over-moulding an expanded polystyrene layer () overlapping the concave interior () of the structural shell (), producing its adhesion by close contact to the structural shell (); and wherein the structural shell () 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.
