Publication number: 20190376310Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a structure that comprises at least one layer of air beams that define an interior space of the structure wherein laterally adjacent air beams are configured to laterally abut each other. Optionally the structure comprises at least a first layer of a plurality of air beams and a second layer of a second plurality of air beams, wherein the second layer is positioned adjacent to and interior to the first layer for defining an interior space of the protective structure. A structure with laterally abutting air beams may better protect the occupants and contents within the structure from the effects of an explosion. Constructing a structure with at least two layers of air beams may provide a stiffer structure as compared to a structure that is constructed from a single layer of air beams.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2018Publication date: December 12, 2019Applicant: Dynamic Shelters Inc.Inventors: Harold A.

Patent number: 10400411Abstract: A resiliently deformable containment structure having an open bottom end and a raised center portion. A central hub, situated centrally in a textile containment sheet, is provided. A plurality of elongate inflatable beam members are arranged circumferentially around the central hub, each extending radially outwardly and in a downwardly-extending manner therefrom and each underlying or overlying the textile containment sheet to support, when inflated, the textile containment sheet in a downwardly-extending shape to form an enclosure having an open bottom end. Distal ends of the inflatable beam members are tethered to one or more anchor members situated below the open bottom end of the dome structure. The structure is suited for placement above and over a compromised sub-sea structure for collecting and recovering to surface fluids which may be leaking therefrom. A method for containing and recovering such fluids from a compromised sub-sea structure is further disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Dynamic Shelters Inc.Inventors: Harold Warner, Aaron Knape

Patent number: 8667741Abstract: Kits for assembling a protective building structure that is resistant to and protects occupants from overhead ordinance detonations, are provided. The kits comprise modular parts for assembling an overhead protective building structure that can be packaged for delivery and assembly in a field location. The kits have self-contained mechanisms for facilitating assembly of the kits with limited construction resources. A pivoting support frame permits the panel members to pivot from a vertical position for filling the panel members with fill material, to a horizontal position on the support frame, to thereby form the overhead cover. Self-raising means are also included in the kits to lift and vertically position the overhead cover along supporting stanchions positioned at each end of the support frame.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Dynamic Shelters Inc.Inventors: Harold Warner, Steve Parks
