Title:
DUAL USE BODY ARMOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004099702
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
There is provided dual use body armor that can be alternately used either as a hand shield which can be concealed in a standard bag (such as an attaché case) or worn as an armor vest (10), and which can be quickly converted from one use to the other. For this reason the shield would normally be of an approximately rectangular shape. The exact shape may be varied in order to fit in different types of carry bag, or to better conform (for the purpose of comfort or protection) to the shape of the body when unstowed or deployed and worn as a vest (10).
