Abstract:
1. A ballistic-resistant laminate assembly, comprising: a substantially planar, non-woven first layer having a plurality of unidirectional fiber strands positioned adjacent to each other, the fiber strands of the first layer forming generally opposing first and second surfaces; a first laminate film adhered to the first surface of the first layer's fiber strands; a second laminate film adhered to the second surface of the first layer's fiber strands, with the first and second laminate films sandwiching the fiber strands therebetween and retaining the first layer's fiber strands in parallel orientation, the first layer and the first and second laminate films forming a first laminated ballistic-resistant sheet; a substantially planar, non-woven second layer having a plurality of unidirectional fiber strands positioned adjacent to each other, the fiber strands of the second layer forming generally opposing third and fourth surfaces; a third laminate film adhered to the third surface of the second layer's fiber strands; and a fourth laminate film adhered to the fourth surface of the second layer's fiber strands, the third and fourth laminate films sandwiching the second layer's fiber strands therebetween and retaining the second layer's fiber strands in parallel orientation, the second layer and the third and fourth laminate films forming a second laminated ballistic-resistant sheet, the second laminated ballistic-resistant sheet being joined to the first laminated ballistic-resistant sheet with one of the third and fourth laminating films and one of the first and second laminate films separating the first and secon fiber strands of the first and second layers.
