Abstract

A ballistic panel providing ballistic protection has at least one plate. The at least one plate is formed of at least one engineered thermoplastic sheet having carbon additives.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A ballistic panel providing ballistic protection comprising:
 at least one plate, wherein the at least one plate is formed of at least one engineered thermoplastic sheet having carbon additives.   
     
     
         2 . The ballistic panel of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one thermoplastic sheet is a thermoplastic sheet using mixtures of engineered thermoplastics containing carbon additives to form the at least one plate. 
     
     
         3 . The ballistic panel of  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of plates, wherein each plate is formed of engineered thermoplastics containing carbon additives. 
     
     
         4 . The ballistic panel of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of plates comprises:
 a first plate having a rear surface and a front surface;   a first plurality of undulations formed across the front surface of the first plate, the first plurality of undulations increasing an amount of surface area to contact a projectile;   a second plurality of undulations formed across the rear surface of the first plate;   a second plate having a rear surface and a front surface; and   a third plurality of undulations formed across the front surface of the second plate.   
     
     
         5 . The ballistic panel of  claim 4 , wherein a density of the first plurality of undulations formed on the front surface of the first plate and the second plurality of undulations formed on the rear surface of the first plate are equal. 
     
     
         6 . The ballistic panel of  claim 4 , wherein a density of the third plurality of undulations formed on the front surface of the second plate is equal to the second plurality of undulations formed on the rear surface of the first plate. 
     
     
         7 . The ballistic panel of  claim 4 , comprising a fourth plurality of undulations formed across a rear surface of the second plate, wherein a density of the fourth plurality of undulations formed on the rear surface of the second plate is less than the third plurality of undulations formed on the front surface of the second plate. 
     
     
         8 . The ballistic panel of  claim 4 , comprising:
 a fourth plurality of undulations formed across a rear surface of the second plate;   a third plate having a rear surface and a front surface; and   a fifth plurality of undulations formed across the front surface of the third plate;   wherein a density of the fourth plurality of undulations formed on the rear surface of the second plate is less than the third plurality of undulations formed on the front surface of the second plate.   
     
     
         9 . The ballistic panel of  claim 8 , comprising:
 a sixth plurality of undulations formed across a rear surface of the third plate;   a fourth plate having a rear surface and a front surface; and   a seventh plurality of undulations formed across the front surface of the fourth plate;   wherein a density of the sixth plurality of undulations formed on the rear surface of the third plate is less than the fifth plurality of undulations formed on the front surface of the third plate.   
     
     
         10 . The ballistic panel of  claim 4 , wherein the first plurality of undulations comprises a first plurality of channels formed across the front surface of the first plate and the second plurality of undulations comprises a second plurality of channels formed across the rear surface of the first plate. 
     
     
         11 . The ballistic panel of  claim 4 , wherein the first plurality of undulations and the second plurality of undulations comprises a plurality of “V” shaped channels, the plurality of “V” shaped channels forming a plurality of three-dimensional polyhedrons on the first plate. 
     
     
         12 . The ballistic panel of  claim 4 , wherein the first plurality of undulations and the second plurality of undulations comprises a plurality of “V” shaped channels, the plurality of “V” shaped channels forming a plurality of three-dimensional diamond shaped prisms on the first plate. 
     
     
         13 . A ballistic panel providing ballistic protection comprising:
 at least one plate, wherein the at least one plate is formed by injection molding of mixtures of engineered thermoplastics containing carbon additives.   
     
     
         14 . The ballistic panel of  claim 13 , wherein the at least one plate comprises a plurality of plates, the plurality of plates comprising:
 a first plate having a rear surface and a front surface;   a first plurality of undulations formed across the front surface of the first plate, the first plurality of undulations increasing an amount of surface area to contact a projectile;   a second plurality of undulations formed across the rear surface of the first plate;   a second plate having a rear surface and a front surface; and   a third plurality of undulations formed across the front surface of the second plate.   
     
     
         15 . The ballistic panel of  claim 14 , wherein a density of the first plurality of undulations formed on the front surface of the first plate and the second plurality of undulations formed on the rear surface of the first plate are equal. 
     
     
         16 . The ballistic panel of  claim 14 , wherein a density of the third plurality of undulations formed on the front surface of the second plate is equal to the second plurality of undulations formed on the rear surface of the first plate. 
     
     
         17 . The ballistic panel of  claim 14 , comprising a fourth plurality of undulations formed across a rear surface of the second plate, wherein a density of the fourth plurality of undulations formed on the rear surface of the second plate is less than the third plurality of undulations formed on the front surface of the second plate. 
     
     
         18 . The ballistic panel of  claim 14 , comprising:
