  • Publication number: 20090145052
    Abstract: A suite of hardened high security steel & concrete modules for protection of people, pets and valuables during a tornado, hurricane, home intrusion or other emergency. A Modular Security Suite [MSS™] is an above ground set of two or more rooms whose steel plate walls extend deep down into a building's concrete or other material foundation and are primarily anchored by the foundation's steel reinforcement rods and the weight of building's concrete foundation. After construction and interior decoration a MSS unit disappears into the home or office floorplan. A MSS unit could include a full bathroom, kitchenette or pantry and a hallway module with built-in bunk beds. Its steel plate walls are filled with concrete and rerod to greatly increase its resistance to serve weather and debris. The design's hallway module and its two steel and concrete pocket doors protect its interior doorways from damage and provides two exits.

  • Publication number: 20080289548
    Abstract: A Modular Security Suite™ of rooms/modules is for the protection of families and/or valuable personal property during Earthquake related and other emergencies. The “Dual Use” space MSS model has two or more adjacent rooms or modules and an adjacent hallway module. One room could be a W.C. and the other module could be a kitchenette or pantry or walk-in high security storage room. Its steel walls and ceiling would be made with interior and exterior steel plates which are welded and/or otherwise fastened to its vertical and horizontal steel/stud pipes or I-beam/studs and then can be filled with concrete. Thusly, the Modular Security Suite becomes a steel and concrete monolithic extension of the building's foundation. Moreover, the design's ship like steel bow/superstructure should resist earthquake related emergencies, flying debris and/or most types of ammo should an intruder invade a private home, bank, school or other building.
