Ballistic protection configuration
A ballistic protection configuration includes a plurality of hard-armoring shaped elements which are formed as one piece and have at least two mutually offset planes. At least two of the shaped elements are fixed in a positional relationship with respect to one another in a shaped element composite in such a way that a first plane of a first shaped element overlaps in sections a second plane of a second shaped element. With the at least two overlapping planes of two shaped elements, two whole surfaces, which lie one above the other and offset with respect to one another, are formed in the shaped element composite and make it possible for a shaped element composite to be provided which is completely free of linear penetrations.
1. A ballistic protection means, comprising:
a plurality of hard armouring shaped elements each defining at least two mutually offset planes;
said two mutually offset planes having material connection between one another for defining a continuous construction of said shaped elements;
at least two of said shaped elements being fixed in a positional relationship with respect to one another for defining a shaped element composite with a first plane of a first one of said at least two shaped elements overlapping, in sections, a second plane of a second one of said at least two shaped elements; and
each of said at least two mutually offset planes of said shaped element composite defining a respective collective surface in total.
2. The ballistic protection means as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said shaped elements are connected to a high-tensile support layer on a side facing an object to be protected.
3. The ballistic protection means as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said shaped elements are disposed with an intermediate space formed therebetween, said intermediate space is provided with an elastic filler.
4. The ballistic protection means as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said shaped elements are formed of ceramic material.
5. The ballistic protection means as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said shaped elements are disposed offset in a longitudinal direction thereof in said shaped element composite.
6. The ballistic protection means as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said shaped elements each have three mutually offset planes.
7. The ballistic protection means as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a sacrificial layer containing hard-armouring sacrificial elements which are embedded in a splinter-slowing cast compound, said sacrificial layer being disposed in front of said shaped element composite on a side facing away from an object to be protected.
8. The ballistic protection means as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising a first splinter-catching layer disposed in front of said sacrificial layer.
9. The ballistic protection means as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said shaped element composite is provided with a splinter catching layer on a side facing an object to be protected.
10. A ballistic protection device, comprising:
a plurality of hard armouring shaped elements each defining at least two mutually offset planes;
said two mutually offset planes being diagonally offset with respect to one another and having material connection between one another for defining a continuous construction of said shaped elements;
at least two of said shaped elements being fixed in a positional relationship with respect to one another for defining a shaped element composite with a first plane of a first one of said at least two shaped elements overlapping, in sections, a second plane of a second one of said at least two shaped elements.
11. The ballistic protection device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein each of said at least two mutually offset planes of said shaped element composite define a respective collective surface in total.
12. The ballistic protection device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein said mutually offset planes are squares and said material connection is provided between corners of said mutually offset planes.
13. The ballistic protection device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein said mutually offset planes are parallel to one another.
