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.

US12553691 - Compact ballistic shield with offset spaced components for improved performance

A multi-piece ballistic shield is provided with a first shield having an outward face exposed to projectiles and an opposing inward face. The first shield having a first offset layer mechanically coupled to a first section of the outward face of the first shield and a second offset layer mechanically coupled to a second section of the outward face of the first shield. The multi-piece ballistic shield further includes a second shield having an outward face exposed to projectiles and an opposing inward face. The second shield is detachably coupled to the first shield such that the second offset layer overlaps a seam formed between the first and second shields. The multi-piece ballistic shield includes a harness coupled to a fastener to support a weight of the multi-piece ballistic shield.

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.
