Appl. No.:

12/714121

Inventors:

JEREMIAH SAWYER SULLIVAN - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

F41H 1/02

US Classification:

2 25

Abstract:

The present invention provides a wearable body armor suit, comprising a plurality of body armor components that are connected together by an impact-resistant material, wherein the impact-resistant material comprises Vectran™ or woven chain mail, and wherein the body armor components are formed of carbon fiber or liquid crystal polymer fiber that is woven or formed into a platen. The platen is molded or curved to accommodate the shape of a body part being covered by the body armor component, for localized and directed protection of strategically important body parts.

US Classification:

2 211, 2 215, 2 25

Abstract:

The present invention provides an impact-resistant suit having a base layer of material dimensioned to fit over a body of a wearer, and at least one impact-resistant panel attached to the base layer, the impact-resistant panel being sized and positioned with respect to the base layer to protect a specific part of the body of the wearer from localized impacts. In some embodiments, the impact-resistant suit comprises a super buoyant wetsuit having an upper body portion that substantially resists crush-down at extreme pressures.

US Classification:

2458, 156 60, 66171, 139384 R

Abstract:

The present invention provides a protective fabric or garment comprising an insulator base layer, a protective layer attached to a body side of the insulator base layer, and one or more protective components attached to selected areas of an outer side of the insulator base layer, wherein each protective component includes at least one protective component layer. Each protective may include fibers having a tensile strength of at least 3 GPa and a modulus of at least 70 GPa. In some embodiments, at least one protective layer is formed with a liquid crystal polymer fiber. In other embodiments, at least one protective layer is formed using a blend of two or more materials selected from the group consisting of, liquid crystal polymer, meta-aramid, para-aramid, nylon, olefin, s-glass, elastic, spandex, polyethylene, diamond tough nylon, polyphenylenebenzimidazole, polybenzoxazole, thermoset polyurethane synthetic polymer material, aromatic copolyamid, and extended-chain polyethylene.

US Classification:

116 28R

Abstract:

A portable, temporary, emergency distress signal capable of being collapsed and carried in the dash compartment of an automobile or quickly erected and placed on the outside of a stranded vehicle includes a telescopable, rod type staff, a magnet base and a fabric flag. The flag is rollable into a small roll, but held outstretched in use by a three section, pivot jointed, rod fitted into the edge seams. The telescopable staff is pivoted to the magnet base so that the staff may be vertical on top of the vehicle or at right angles, on the side of the vehicle. A sleeve lock slides over the pivot to hold the staff vertical, a sleeve lock stop holds the sleeve lock out of the way when the staff is at right angles to the magnet and the sleeve lock is threadedly secured.

Abstract:

A shoelace retaining system for securing individual free ends of shoelaces after the shoelaces have been tightened on the shoe, with a quick and easy engagable and disengageable retaining means. The shoelace retaining means has an open slot on one side that allows insertion of the shoelace along its length into the retaining portion, for tightening of the shoelace by pulling the shoelace relative to the retaining device in one direction. Easy release of the shoelace is accomplished by merely pulling the shoelace outwardly through the slot and away from the retaining portions.
