Description

PREAMBLE

Existing commercial and educational occupancies were built without safe rooms or spaces.

Our invention addresses the lack there of by offering a wall covering that is bullet proof and decorative. An assault on a school, public building or office would have a safe area or room by hanging our Wall Art Shield product on a wall behind which the space is then protected against shooting through the wall.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Drawing FIG. 1 shows the Bullet Resistant Wall Art assembly.

The standard size 4 foot×8 foot sheet bullet proof material* is covered with any canvas, thin Plexiglas or vinyl wall covering. The resulting composite is an artful decoration in a public place within a facility being protected against attack by an active shooter. The 4 feet wide sheets placed butt tight together will produce a shield 8 feet high by the desired length of the wall being protected against gun attack. *The bullet proof fiberglass selected must be at least 7/16 inch thick, and the UL 752 level 3 standard.

CLAIMS

The UL 752-3 fiberglass sheets will shield that covered wall area against hand & shotgun attack. The art work covering such material produces the decorative effect. The areas or rooms behind such art work decoration will be safe from direct assault.

Claims

ONE: I claim the triangular and rectangular wall composite panels, together, stacked and secured to a wall, are bullet resistant against hand gun and standard load rifles, UL standards levels II and III.

TWO: I claim any furniture composite, including the bullet resistant fiberglass material, covered with decorative material are bullet resistant to hand gun and rifles, UL standard levels II and III.
