German Tapulbrust Translation? -- myArmoury.com

Greetings all,

I have a reproduction harness with a breastplate of almost identical design to the one in the image above. It is of course a classic 16th century tapulbrust but I seem unable to find a translation of the word "tapul". I have found the word "kasten" from "kastenbrust" translating to "box-breast" but no words in any German dictionary or translation site offering the word "tapul". If anyone could shed some light on this elusive word, it would be monumentally appreciated!

Thanks!
