  • Patent number: 12144419
    Abstract: A flip-top table has a tabletop attached to a frame through a pivoting assembly. The tabletop is made from a ballistic resistant material and serves as a ballistic shield, rotating from its horizontal working position to a vertical shielding position. A front modesty panel is also ballistic-resistant and is mounted on the frame's front side with either a fixed connected to the frame or a hinged connection to the tabletop. A lift speed restrictor is connected between the tabletop and the frame, preventing the tabletop from being lifted too quickly and toppling the table, and it includes a biasing mechanism that provides a lifting force and helps to hold the tabletop in the shielding position. Visual markings on the table indicate to persons that the table can be used as a ballistic shield. Casters allow one or more tables to be quickly moved and repositioned into a defensive arrangement.

The tabletop is made from a ballistic-resistant material allowing it to be used as a ballistic shield when it rotates from its horizontal working position to a vertical shielding position. A front modesty panel is also ballistic-resistant and is mounted between the front legs of the frame. A lift speed restrictor is connected between the tabletop and the frame which prevents the user from lifting the tabletop too quickly which could topple the table, and it includes a biasing mechanism that provides a lifting force and helps to hold the tabletop in the shielding position. The table also includes visual indicators that readily indicate to persons around the table that the table can be converted into a ballistic shield. Casters allow one or more tables to be quickly moved and repositioned into a defensive arrangement.

  • Patent number: 10295311
    Abstract: The invention is a piece of furniture that can be converted into a ballistic shield wherein a surface of the furniture is pivotally attached to a frame and rotates between a traditional working position and a shield position. The piece of furniture has a front modesty panel mounted between the front legs where an edge of the pivoting tabletop overlaps the upper edge of the modesty screen when rotated into the shield position. Additionally, the pivoting mechanism comprises a lift speed restricting mechanism that prevents the user from lifting the surface too quickly and prevents toppling along with a biasing mechanism to help hold the surface in the shield position. The invention also has a unique color coded system to easily indicate to a user that the piece of furniture can be converted into a ballistic shield.
