Patent number: 11761213Abstract: In one embodiment, a frame and stair system for engaging a wall includes multiple pad assemblies, a distal frame assembly, a lower proximal frame assembly, an upper proximal frame assembly, multiple stair assemblies, and multiple upper panel stair adapter brackets. A lower stair assembly is coupled with a left stair pad assembly, a right stair pad assembly, a left distal leveling pad, and a right distal leveling pad. A middle stair assembly is coupled with the distal frame assembly and the upper proximal frame assembly. An upper stair assembly is coupled with the upper proximal frame assembly. The upper proximal frame assembly is coupled with the lower proximal frame assembly. A left upper panel stair adapter bracket and a right upper panel stair adapter bracket are coupled with the upper stair assembly and are configured to engage an upper edge of the wall.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMYInventors: Omar Esquilin-Mangual, Catherine S Stephens, Omar G Flores, Andrew B Edwards, Nicholas R Boone

Publication number: 20220099412Abstract: Ready armor modular protective systems that can be rapidly deployed in an urban environment. Exemplary armor systems include a container, and a wall assembly that fits inside of the container when in a collapsed configuration. The wall assembly includes a first end section, a second end section, a constraint mechanism, and first and second locking mechanisms. The first end section has a first space frame unit, and the second end section has second and third space frame units. A locking mechanism prevent relative vertical displacement from occurring between adjacent second and third space frame units. The constraint mechanism keeps the first and third space frame units at a fixed distance from one another. The constraint mechanism, when coupled with the first and third space frame units, keeps the locking mechanism from being removed from the second end section.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Inventors: Omar Esquilin-Mangual, Catherine S.

Patent number: 10920442Abstract: A configuration, all components of which are man portable in some embodiments, for holding panels to protect assets against external force and impacts from airborne projectiles. An open box-like stackable frame module holds panels along a side of the frame. Multiple frames are connected to construct a protective barrier, such as a wall. Frames include provisions for connection in a vertical configuration so as to allow stacking of the frames to increase the height of the barrier. A method of installing is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: UNITED STATES of AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMYInventors: Genevieve L Pezzola, Catherine S Stephens, Omar Esquilin-Mangual, Andrew B Edwards

Patent number: 10775138Abstract: Ready armor modular protective systems that can be rapidly deployed in an urban environment. Exemplary armor systems include multiple space frame units. Adjacent space frame units can be coupled together with vertically adjustable coupling mechanisms. Coupling mechanisms (e.g. slot and pin connecting mechanisms) can facilitate relative displacement between adjacent space frame units when the units are connected. In this way, a wall of connected adjacent space frame units can be placed and/or moved along an uneven or irregular surface (e.g. having bumps or a grade) and the adjacent space frame units can remain in parallel and/or vertical orientation relative to one another. Suspension mechanisms can help to facilitate or enable rapid deployment of a ready armor modular protective system.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMYInventors: Omar Esquilin-Mangual, Catherine S Stephens, Omar G Flores, Andrew B Edwards, Erik M Chappell, Carey D Price
