  • Shatter-resistant, optically-transparent panels and methods of use of the panels for on-site retrofitting and reinforcing of passageways
    Patent number: 9925742
    Abstract: The disclosure includes multi-layered panels (10, 60, 204) including exterior layers of glass (12, 44) and interior layers of urethane (20, 36) and at least one layer of polycarbonate (16) between the urethane layers (20, 36) that result in enhanced shatter resistance within panels (10, 60, 204) that weigh between about 4.1 and 4.6 pounds per square foot. The panels (10, 60, 204) include an insertion tab (23, 61, 23?) of the polycarbonate layer (16) that enhances performance of the panel (10). Reinforced passageways (70, 200, 300), such as doors and windows of schools, hospitals and other public and private buildings, are disclosed using the multi-layered panels (10, 60, 204) with the insertion tab (23, 61, 23?).
    Type: Grant

  • Shatter-resistant, optically-transparent panels and methods of use of the panels for on-site retrofitting and reinforcing of passageways
    Patent number: 9365015
    Abstract: The disclosure includes multi-layered panels (10) including exterior layers of glass (12, 44) and interior layers of urethane (20, 36) and at least one layer of polycarbonate (16) between the urethane layers (20, 36) that result in enhanced shatter resistance within panels that weigh between about 4.1 and 4.6 pounds per square foot. An insertion tab (23) of the polycarbonate layer (16) enhances performance of the panel (10). A method of on-site retrofitting and reinforcing of existing passageway (70) frames (72) without removal of the frames (72) from a building provides for low-cost, highly efficient improvement of intrusion resistance of passageways (70) such as doors and windows of schools, hospitals and other public and private buildings.
