20090133571 | ARMOR MOUNTING SYSTEM - A system for mounting armor to a structure such as a vehicle hull has a base for attachment to the structure, an adapter engaged with the base and with the armor for coupling the base to the armor, and a fastener, for example a pin or a bolt) for rigidly securing the adapter with the base. The system advantageously permits retrofitting of previously unarmored structures and/or permits replacement of damaged or obsolete armor. A kit for retrofitting a structure with armor has a base for attachment to the structure, an adapter for engagement with the base and with the armor for coupling the base to the armor, a fastener for rigidly engaging the adapter with the base, and instructions for mounting the armor on the structure using the base, the adapter and the fastener. | 05-28-2009 |
20090301290 | PERSONAL PROTECTION APPARATUS FOR VEHICLES - The invention provides a personal protection apparatus for use in vehicles comprising: a behind-the-seat ballistic shield provided with support means extending to the floor of the vehicle for distributing a weight component of the shield, and a deployable protective ballistic shield and visor articulately linked to the behind-the-seat ballistic shield for protecting the upper chest, neck and head areas of a driver and displaceable between an active deployed position in front of the driver and a storage position. | 12-10-2009 |
20100077912 | Fighting Shield - A portable shield for use by a peace officer can be carried on an officer's arm and has a curved outer surface and a relatively small overall shape, to provide better enforcement abilities. The shield supports a canister of sprayable protection material, such as pepper spray. The shield has a baton port for supporting an officer's baton during use of the baton. | 04-01-2010 |
20120090455 | Portable Ballistic Shelter System and Device - A portable, lightweight ballistic panel integrated with a shelter is capable of withstanding penetration by ammunition and fragmentation, so that the occupants of the shelter remain safe and unharmed. In one embodiment of the invention, wall segments or panels of ballistic material are provided so as to hang from an interior or exterior frame member of the shelter. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a frame independent of the shelter frame to which the panels can be secured. The panels can be provided such that they fold up into portable and manageable units. In one embodiment of the invention, wall panels are provided with a welded seam that binds plies of the outer shell of the wall attachment with an inner ballistic-resistant material. | 04-19-2012 |
20120180635 | Handheld protective shield entrapment device - A protective shield entrapment device having a first shield member and a second shield member joined by a vertical hinge member, and further having one or more releasable straps adapted to span the gap between the shield members, whereby the shield members can be closed about an individual to be subdued and the straps connected to secure the individual within the device. | 07-19-2012 |
20120180636 | Ballistic shield - The ballistic shield includes a ballistic panel and a panel carrier, which internally supports the ballistic panel and secures the shield to the user's hand and forearm. The panel carrier includes a panel shell, which encases the ballistic panel, and is secured to a user's forearm by two cuffs and an integral glove that are sewn to the backside of the shell panel. The compact design of the shield enhances mobility, while still providing ballistic protection to the most vital and likely areas of potential injury. The use of an integral glove in combination with two cuffs provides a solid three point connection to securely position the shield on the user's arm. The ballistic shield is completely supported on one arm without having to be held or manually supported. | 07-19-2012 |
20120186435 | Handheld Protective Shield Entrapment Device - A protective shield entrapment device having a first shield member and a second shield member joined by a vertical hinge member, and further having one or more elastic closure members extending between the shield members, whereby the shield members can be closed about an individual to be subdued. | 07-26-2012 |
20130205983 | Shield Support System - The invention features a support system which can be attached to a ballistic shield. The system features at least one telescoping or retractable leg which is mounted to the shield to create a standalone shield. The shield is positioned between plates which receive pins that hold the shield in position in the system. The system features a resting platform which provides an area for resting a gun or rifle, for example. A bullet proof screen extends from the bottom area of the shield towards the base of the system and provides additional security to the user when the shield is in the system. | 08-15-2013 |
20140026743 | BULLET-RESISTANT HAND-HELD DEFENSIVE OBJECT - A bullet-resistant defensive device is disclosed made up of layers of bullet resistant material layered together and connected along their peripheral edge on a frame to form a planar shield. The shield so formed works such that a bullet striking the shield causes the layered bullet resistant material to flex thereby dissipating the force of the bullet, the material when it stretches transfers the force of the bullet from a shear mode to a tensile mode. One preferred embodiment incorporates the invention into a clipboard box for use by police officers for protecting against head, neck and hand wounds from handguns fired at close range from vehicles. The hand-held, bullet resistant clipboard box holds documents and writing implements, and the bullet-resistant material is located within the clipboard box interior cavity and configured for catching a fired bullet before it can pass through the entire clipboard. | 01-30-2014 |
20140238225 | Variable Ballistic Shield System - A ballistic shield may include multiple ballistic plates. The first plate may be permanently connected to a second plate and drop vertically downward from the first plate. After dropping down, the second plate would overlap the first plate such that no gap exists between the two plates. A third plate may similarly drop with respect to the second plate. Side folding ballistic plates may be attached to the first and second plates to lock them in position and provide ballistic protection to the sides of the user. These side ballistic plates may overlap the first and second plates. The side plates can have another ballistic plate mounted on their unconnected ends such that another assembly of first, second and side ballistic plates identical as above may also be connected. After connecting this second assembly, the user(s) would have full 360 degree ballistic coverage. | 08-28-2014 |
20140251122 | INFLATABLE FRAME FOR FLEXIBLE BALLISTIC SHIELD WITH INTEGRATED ALERT AND TRACKING SYSTEMS - A personal ballistic shield includes a flexible ballistic blanket and a pneumatic frame connected to and supporting the ballistic blanket. A handle assembly is attached to a back side of the ballistic blanket. A warning mechanism is incorporated in the shield and is adapted to detect a deployment of the pneumatic frame and transmit an alert signal reporting the deployment of the shield. | 09-11-2014 |
20150292840 | DETACHABLE SHIELD FOR TACTICAL EQUIPMENT BOX - A detachable shield for tactical equipment box has a rectangular form, an outer surface and an opposite inner surface, a long first edge and a second edge, at least two hinges upon the first edge that cooperate with second hinges mounted to a box, a second lock component that cooperates with a prime lock component mounted to a box opposite the second hinges, and a handle joined to the inner surface. The first hinges, handle, and second lock component join to the shield without fracturing it. The first hinges separate from the second hinges so that a law enforcement officer can take the shield from the box for use as protection from projectiles. In an alternate embodiment, the second component joins to the inner surface along with a reinforcing strip along the second edge. | 10-15-2015 |
