Scientists from the Moscow Automobile and Highway Technical University have come up with a design that will allow you to simultaneously remove the transport and bulletproof vest from a single hand movement. The invention will increase the survival rate of military personnel – they will be able to dump excess cargo when they cross a water barrier and get more medical help quickly. In addition, the creators of the design declare its low cost and ease of manufacture.
Sometimes in combat missions a soldier will find himself in a situation where it is necessary to quickly drop a bulletproof vest in order to survive – For example, a soldier may die while crossing a water barrier or being accidentally in the water. In addition, the vest may interfere with prompt medical care.
To this end, Russian scientists have developed such a vest system that can be released quickly and without assistance. & Nbsp; The difficulty with quickly dropping body armor is that typically a transport vest (where the military sets down weapons and necessary things) typically worn over body armor. As a result, the latter's quick reset device often does not work. & Nbsp;
The technical solution to the problem is to use a device containing a long wire rope and a short wire rope, a carabiner, two metal tubes with fasteners, an escapement ring and metal half rings in the frame of a carrying vest.
In an emergency situation where a quick reset of the equipment is required (body armor with an “ unload '' transport vest), the soldier will do so. ; a single movement of the hand. Grabbing the ring located in the left subclavian region of the body, he will pull two metal cables connected to the ring, which are connected by a carabiner to the cable of the quick release device of the vest bulletproof.
Cables will extend from metal half rings sewn into the right and left shoulder surfaces of the Modular Carrying Vest, as well as metal half rings sewn vertically along the center of the back section, separating the two-piece vest. Metal half rings are attached to the edges of the removable shoulder surfaces and the back part so that the metal cables running through them secure all the parts of the vest in one set.
For this, the right and left shoulder surfaces of the vest are made in such a way that each of them separates into two distinct parts. One part is attached to the chest part of the vest and the second part is attached to the back, with the back part also being divided vertically in the center in half. & Nbsp;
Thus, at the same time, a rapid and unhindered discharge of the torso of a serviceman from a transport vest with a combined arms bulletproof vest is ensured. A soldier, pulling the pull ring, simultaneously pulls the metal cables of the carrying vest and the bulletproof vest in one movement.
