ARMOUR PROTECTION Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC F41H5/04 

FIELD: armour constructions.

SUBSTANCE: the armour protection has, shaped components of ceramics fixed on a backing and joined by the end face surfaces to one another. The end face surfaces of the shaped components of ceramics are made of a composite profile, the middle part is made with a slope. The bevel angle is selected within 10 to 25 deg. The slopes of each pair of components of ceramics are made with mutually opposite directions. The length of each slope is selected such so that at joining of the components of ceramics with opposite directions of slopes face and rear clearances with a depth of 0.2 to 0.4 and width of 0.04 to 0.15 of the thickness of the components of ceramics are formed. The total length on the joined components of ceramics formed on the continuation of the slope line makes up at least 0.7 of the thickness of the components of ceramics.

EFFECT: enhanced protective properties of the armour protection to the action of subcaliber bullets of small-arms systems.
