Protective panel
First Claim
1. A protective panel for blocking a potentially dangerous incoming object, comprising at least ten layers of woven fibres stacked on top of each other, wherein at least two of the layers have mutually different mesh sizes, the different mesh sizes being created by providing (a) the warp yarn diameter in one of the two layers being different from the weft yarn diameter in the same layer, and (b) the yarns in one of the two layers having a different diameter from the yarns in the other of the two layers, wherein one of the two layers has warp and weft directions that are rotated and obliquely oriented relative to warp and weft directions of the other of said two layers.

Abstract
The invention concerns a panel for protection against projectiles, splinter, etc. The panel is primarily arranged to supplement the outer shell of a vehicle such that the overall protection against such projectiles is considerably increased without the weight of the vehicle or the like being increased in any essential aspect. The panel includes a two digit number of layers of woven fibers, made from yarns of aramid or corresponding material. The layers are put on top of each other in the direction of incidence of a projectile etc. against the panel.

4. A panel for protection against potentially dangerous incoming objects, comprising
a two-digit number of layers of woven fibres, made from yarns of aramid, which layers are put on top or each other in a predicted direction of incidence of a potentially dangerous incoming object against the panel, and wherein said two-digit number of layers includes at least two layers having mutually different mesh sizes, wherein the different mesh sizes are created by providing (a) the warp yarn diameter in one of the two layers being different from the weft yarn diameter in the same layer, and (b) the yarns in one of the two layers having a different diameter from the vamp in the other of the two layers.
