The patent describes a rollable ballistic shield featuring a flexible ballistic panel made of multiple sheets of ballistic fabric and a resilient panel that can transition between rolled and unrolled states. This design allows the resilient panel to unroll the flexible ballistic panel, enhancing portability and protection for users.

Claim 1

A rollable ballistic shield, comprising: a flexible ballistic panel, the flexible ballistic panel being comprised of a plurality of sheets of ballistic fabric; and a resilient panel in contact with only one face of the flexible ballistic panel, the resilient panel being a body that is rollable from an unrolled state to a rolled state, and from the rolled state to the unrolled state when permitted to unroll under a spring force, wherein, in the unrolled state, the resilient panel is curved about a first axis, wherein the resilient panel, in its unrolled state, is rollable around an axis transverse to the first axis, and wherein the resilient panel unrolls the flexible ballistic panel from a rolled state to a fully unrolled state when the resilient panel is unrolled from the rolled state to its unrolled state. a flexible ballistic panel, the flexible ballistic panel being comprised of a plurality of sheets of ballistic fabric; and a resilient panel in contact with only one face of the flexible ballistic panel, the resilient panel being a body that is rollable from an unrolled state to a rolled state, and from the rolled state to the unrolled state when permitted to unroll under a spring force, wherein, in the unrolled state, the resilient panel is curved about a first axis, wherein the resilient panel, in its unrolled state, is rollable around an axis transverse to the first axis, and wherein the resilient panel unrolls the flexible ballistic panel from a rolled state to a fully unrolled state when the resilient panel is unrolled from the rolled state to its unrolled state.
