Appeal 2007-1942
Application 10/368,975
and wherein all layers exhibit the properties of flexibility and
pliability, comprising
a pair of outer, plastic cloth layers each having inner and outer
surfaces,
a pair of spaced, generally locally parallel-planar, springy foam
layers each having inner and outer surfaces, with each foam layer’s
outer surface being formed of cross-linked polyethylene, and being
surface bonded to a different one of said cloth layers’ inner surfaces,
and
a central strand layer having a pair of outer surfaces formed of
cross-deployed, elongate, non-stretchable, aramid strands, and having
a pair of outer surfaces each of which is surface bonded to a different
one of said foam layers’ said inner surfaces, wherein said outer,
plastic cloth layers and said locally parallel-planar, springy foam
layers are symmetrically disposed about said central strand layer.
2. Claim 5 reads as follows
A method based upon material flexibility and pliability for
collapsing, radially inwardly, the open, hollow-point, impact end of an
elongate bullet which is en route from a firing source of the bullet to
an intended target, said method comprising
engaging such a bullet by layered barrier fabric which takes the
form of (a) a pair of outer, plastic cloth layers each having inner and
outer surfaces, (b) a pair of spaced, generally locally parallel-planar,
springy foam layers each having inner and outer surfaces, with each
foam layer’s outer surface being formed of a cross-linked
polyethylene, and being surface bonded to a different one of the cloth
layers’ inner surfaces, and (c) a central strand layer having a pair of
outer surfaces formed of cross-deployed, elongate, non-stretchable,
aramid strands, and having a pair of outer surfaces each of which is
surface bonded to a different one of the foam layers’ inner surfaces,
wherein said outer, plastic cloth layers and said locally parallel-planar,
springy foam layers are symmetrically disposed about said central
strand layer.
