US12571614 - Anti-ballistic barrier with extendable retention system

An anti-ballistic barrier system with a plurality of support mounts and an anti-ballistic shield configured to extend across a targeted area. The plurality of support mounts is configured to couple the shield to a support structure adjacent the targeted area. A plurality of extendable connectors extends between the anti-ballistic shield and the plurality of support mounts. A polyester shield cover may extend over the anti-ballistic shield. The plurality of extendable connectors may be positioned at regular intervals around a perimeter of the shield and may be formed of a material having an elongation percentage property of at least 100%. The anti-ballistic shield may be movable between a retracted position in which a majority of the targeted area is exposed and an extended position in which the anti-ballistic shield extends across a majority of the targeted area.

The patent describes an anti-ballistic barrier system featuring a flexible poly-aramid shield that can extend across a targeted area, supported by mounts and connected with extendable connectors. These connectors allow the shield to slide horizontally, enabling it to transition between a retracted and an extended position to cover the area effectively.

Claim 1

1 . An anti-ballistic barrier system comprising: an anti-ballistic shield formed of a flexible poly-aramid anti-ballistic material and configured to extend across a targeted area in the form of a curtain; at least a first support mount configured to couple with a support structure above to the targeted area; and at least a first extendable connector attached to the anti-ballistic shield, wherein the at least a first extendable connector is configured to extend between the anti-ballistic shield and the at least a first support mount and moveably couple the anti-ballistic shield to the at least one support mount, wherein the at least a first extendable connector is configured to move horizontally in relation to the at least a first support mount to enable the anti-ballistic shield to slide horizontally in relation to the at least a first extendable connector, and wherein each of the at least one extendable connector is formed of a material having an elongation percentage property of at least 50%. an anti-ballistic shield formed of a flexible poly-aramid anti-ballistic material and configured to extend across a targeted area in the form of a curtain; at least a first support mount configured to couple with a support structure above to the targeted area; and at least a first extendable connector attached to the anti-ballistic shield, wherein the at least a first extendable connector is configured to extend between the anti-ballistic shield and the at least a first support mount and moveably couple the anti-ballistic shield to the at least one support mount, wherein the at least a first extendable connector is configured to move horizontally in relation to the at least a first support mount to enable the anti-ballistic shield to slide horizontally in relation to the at least a first extendable connector, and wherein each of the at least one extendable connector is formed of a material having an elongation percentage property of at least 50%.
