Abstract: A high security top element assembly for a security wall includes arcuate elements extending outwardly and downwardly from the top of a wall. The arcuate elements extend in both directions from the top of the wall. The arcuate elements terminate outwardly from the wall a sufficient distance to prevent a person climbing the wall from reaching out and contacting the arcuate elements and the arcuate elements are spaced apart a sufficient distance to prevent a person from passing between adjacent elements.

Abstract: Finger extensions for astronaut gloves for astronaut suits are disposed in sleeves on digits of the gloves. Different embodiments for the extensions are illustrated and discussed. The sleeves are secured to the tops of the digits. The extension elements include bases disposed in the sleeves and tips at outer ends of the bases. The tips may include pads which contact elements desired to be manipulated. The extensions are pivotal with the movement of the astronaut's digits in a glove. Only a slight movement of the astronaut's digits is required to provide the required dexterity for the astronaut user to grasp, pick up, move, etc., desired elements with the extensions. Inflexible rings about the extensions are fixed to the gloves prevent reverse bending of the extensions and maintain the extensions generally parallel to the users fingers. The extensions may be fixed or extendable and retractable, as desired.

Abstract: Bullet resistant apparatus includes a spring biased panel which extends out one end of the briefcase. The briefcase, with the extended panel, is then rotated ninety degrees to define a bullet resistant shield for a user. The apparatus is made of composite bullet resistant materials and utilizes a compression spring for deployment of a panel disposed within the briefcase. The compression spring is disposed in a pair of telescoping sleeves. The sleeves allow the spring to compress and then to extend to about double its compressed length.

Abstract: Removable bulletproof apparatus for a vehicle includes a flexible curtain secured to a door of the vehicle. The flexible curtain is secured to a frame below a window in the door. The curtain is bullet resistant. The curtain may be easily installed and easily removed from the door. The curtain is made of layers of fibrous material, such as woven cloth, preferably of an aramid fiber, such as a "Kevlar" cloth, or "SPECTRA SHIELD" material. A bullet resistant flap of the same material as the curtain pivots on the curtain.

Abstract: Bullet resistant curtain apparatus protects the rear of a vehicle. The curtain apparatus includes a curtain secured to the trunk lid of the vehicle and is deployed when the trunk lid is opened. The curtain apparatus includes a flexible curtain made of a plurality of bullet resistant cloth layers. The curtain folds as the trunk closes. A second embodiment includes a movable base with posts to which the curtain may be secured to comprise a portable shield. The base includes wheels for moving the portable shield. The curtain is removably secured to the trunk lid and is thus easily converted into the movable, portable shield.

Abstract: Support apparatus for supporting a transparent bullet resistant panel on a door having no frame for its window includes channel elements for holding the transparent panel and support elements including brackets secured to the channel elements and disposed against the inside of the door and support elements extending downwardly within the door. Different embodiments of brackets are disclosed.

Abstract: Removable bullet resistant apparatus for windshields and rear windows of a vehicle includes a transparent panel which is disposed against structural elements of a vehicle and a layered mat is secured to the bottom portion of the transparent panel and disposed on the dashboard deck in front of the transparent panel for the windshield embodiment, and behind the transparent panel and on the rear deck for the rear window embodiment. The transparent panels and the mats are bullet resistant. The layered mats are secured to the transparent panels in an overlapping relationship. The transparent panels and their mats may be easily installed and easily removed from the vehicle. The mats are made of layers of bullet resistant material, woven or nonwoven, or combinations of both woven and nonwoven materials.

Abstract: Removable bulletproof apparatus for the back of the front seat of a vehicle includes a transparent panel which is secured to or disposed adjacent to the front seat of the vehicle and a flexible curtain is secured to the bottom portion of the transparent panel. Both the transparent panel and the curtain are bulletproof. The curtain may be easily installed and easily removed from the transparent panel. The curtain is made of layers of fibrous material, such as woven cloth, preferably of an aramid fiber, such as a "Kevlar" cloth, or "SPECTRA SHIELD" material. Wing portions may be secured to the curtain and extended to door posts to provide additional protection for the occupants of the front seat from bullets fired from the rear of the vehicle or from rearwardly of the front door.

Abstract: Removable bullet resistant apparatus for a vehicle includes a transparent panel which is secured to or disposed adjacent to a vehicle window and a flexible curtain is secured to a bracket to which the bottom portion of the transparent panel is secured. Both the transparent panel and the curtain are bullet resistant. Both the panel and the curtain are easily installed and easily removed from their common bracket and from the vehicle. Depending on the particular design or structure of a vehicle in which the apparatus is installed, various top bracket structures may be used. The curtain is made of layers of fibrous material. In one embodiment, as for example, for use by law enforcement vehicles, the curtain includes a bottom flap or portion that may be pivoted down when the door is opened to provide an officer with essentially a full length bullet resistant shield. The full length shield includes both the transparent panel and the curtain and its flap.
