US12535300 - Compact rifle protection ballistic shield

A rollable armor panel, and a rollable ballistic shield that includes the rollable armor panel is described. The rollable armor panel includes an adhesive-coated first ballistic fabric, a plurality of ballistic tiles arranged on and attached to one side of the first ballistic fabric, and a lattice arrangement of adhesive-coated ballistic fabric attached to the ballistic tiles and located opposite to the one side, the lattice having openings over the ballistic tiles, the armor panel being flexible enough to permit rolling of the armor panel into a rolled state. In order to facilitate rolling, the fabric lattice on the rear side of the imbricated array of wrapped ceramic tiles permits lifting of one side of a tile relative to another along the rolling direction. Further, the fabric-encapsulated wrapped imbricated ceramic is attached to a ballistic fabric backer in such a way that layers can slide over each other during rolling and unrolling. Attachment points of the various components of the armor are designed to return those components into alignment when the shield is deployed flat from its rolled state.

The patent describes a rollable ballistic shield that incorporates a flexible armor panel made of ballistic fabric and ceramic tiles, allowing it to be easily rolled for transport. The design includes a lattice arrangement that facilitates the rolling and unrolling process while maintaining the alignment of components when deployed.

Claim 1

1 . A rollable armor panel, comprising: a first ballistic fabric; a plurality of ballistic tiles arranged on and attached to one side of the first ballistic fabric; and a lattice arrangement comprising ballistic fabric attached to faces of the ballistic tiles and located opposite to the one side, the lattice having openings over the ballistic tiles, wherein the armor panel is flexible enough to permit rolling of the armor panel into a rolled state. a first ballistic fabric; a plurality of ballistic tiles arranged on and attached to one side of the first ballistic fabric; and a lattice arrangement comprising ballistic fabric attached to faces of the ballistic tiles and located opposite to the one side, the lattice having openings over the ballistic tiles, wherein the armor panel is flexible enough to permit rolling of the armor panel into a rolled state.
