Abstract

A protective suit to protect a wearer from ballistics and explosives. The protective suit comprises a base garment, an armor plate, and a plurality of shocks coupled to an interior surface of the base garment opposite to the armor plate.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A protective suit comprising:
 a base garment;   a first armor plate covering at least part of the outer surface of the base garment;   a first plurality of shocks coupled to an interior surface of the base garment opposite to the first armor plate, each of the first plurality of shocks having an individual volume of between 30 cm 3  and 150 cm 3 , and an aggregate volume of the plurality of shocks is 150 cm 3  and 550 cm 3 .   
     
     
         2 . The protective suit of  claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of shocks is four to six shocks. 
     
     
         3 . The protective suit of  claim 2 , wherein the each of the first plurality of shocks is 0.8 cm to 3 cm thick. 
     
     
         4 . The protective suit of  claim 3 , wherein the each of the first plurality of shocks is 6 cm to 14 cm wide. 
     
     
         5 . The protective suit of  claim 4 , wherein the each of the first plurality of shocks is 6 cm to 14 cm tall. 
     
     
         6 . The protective suit of  claim 5 , wherein the shock comprises layers of shock absorbing foam. 
     
     
         7 . The protective suit of  claim 6 , wherein the shock absorbing foam is non-Newtonian foam. 
     
     
         8 . The protective suit of  claim 7 , wherein the non-Newtonian foam is uncompressed. 
     
     
         9 . The protective suit of  claim 8 , wherein the shock absorbing foam is graded by either mechanical layering or using a molding process to create different durometers, densities or shock absorption properties. 
     
     
         10 . The protective suit of  claim 9 , wherein the non-Newtonian foam comprises a shear-thickening fluid filled foam, pseudoplastic foam, thixotropic foam, or made from non-Newtonian polymer solutions. 
     
     
         11 . The protective suit of  claim 6 , wherein the shock absorbing foam is energy absorbing foam. 
     
     
         12 . The protective suit of  claim 11 , wherein the energy absorbing foam is a polyvinyl alcohol foam, ethylene vinyl acetate foam, polyethylene foam, thermoplastic foam, cross-linked polyethylene foam, polyurethane foam, expanded polystyrene foam, expanded polypropylene foam, duocel aluminum foam, urethane viscoelastic foam, polyvinyl chloride foam, polymethacrylimide foam, or silicon foam. 
     
     
         13 . The protective suit of  claim 12 , wherein the shock absorbing foam is graded by either mechanical layering or using a molding process to create different durometers, densities or shock absorption properties. 
     
     
         14 . The protective suit of  claim 6 , wherein the shock further comprises an airtight bladder made of a synthetic rubber or elastomer. 
     
     
         15 . The protective suit of  claim 14 , wherein the shock absorbing foam is graded by either mechanical layering or using a molding process to create different durometers, densities or shock absorption properties. 
     
     
         16 . The protective suit of  claim 6 , wherein the shock absorbing foam is a combination of a non-Newtonian foam and an energy absorbing foam. 
     
     
         17 . The protective suit of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 a second armor plate covering at least part of the outer surface of the base garment;   a second plurality of shocks coupled to an interior surface of the base garment opposite to the second armor plate, each of the second plurality of shocks having an individual volume of between 30 cm 3  and 150 cm 3 , and an aggregate volume of the plurality of shocks is 150 cm 3  and 550 cm 3 .   
     
     
         18 . The protective suit of  claim 17 , wherein the second plurality of shocks is four to six shocks, the each of the second plurality of shocks is 0.8 cm to 3 cm thick, 6 cm to 14 cm wide, and 6 cm to 14 cm tall. 
     
     
         19 . The protective suit of  claim 18 , wherein 18 further comprising a ribbon made of shock absorbing foam, attached to a front side of the first armor plate. 
     
     
         20 . A protective suit comprising:
 a base garment;   a first armor plate covering at least part of the outer surface of the base garment;   a first plurality of pockets on an interior surface of the base garment opposite to the first armor plate, each of the first plurality of pockets configured to accommodate a shock with an individual volume of between 30 cm 3  and 150 cm 3 , and an aggregate volume of the plurality of pockets is 150 cm 3  and 550 cm 3 .
