Purpose of the anti-rubbery shielding system according to current application is to protect a clerk in a convenience store, liquor shop, and other small stores which open until late night and to drive out a rubber by scaring. The anti-rubbery shielding system is provided with alert mechanisms of police car siren, voice message of a policeman, visual effect, video record that are operatively associated with the one or more vertically popping-up panels. The anti-rubbery shielding system is activated when the clerk press a button on the floor beneath the cashier's desk by foot.

Abstract: A composite armor 10 and method for making it. The armor 10 has a honeycomb core 12 that is provided with polygonal openings 14 and oppositely facing sides 16, 18. Inserts 20 are placed within at least some of the openings. A pair of sheets 22, 24 are respectively secured to the oppositely facing sides of the honeycomb core to close the openings, thereby containing fracture debris after impact, and to provide reinforcement. One method of making the composite armor includes: providing a honeycomb core having polygonal openings; adhering a sheet to cover the polygonal openings that are located on one side of the honeycomb core; at least partially filling at least some of the openings with a resin; placing one or more inserts within at least some of the openings; and adhering a front sheet to the oppositely facing side of the honeycomb core. A preferred manufacturing practice involves resin infusion.

Abstract: A reactive armor structure having an outer layer and a reactive element adjacent to and integral with the outer layer is provided. The reactive element provides an amount of support to the outer layer effective to restrain movement of the outer layer and to delay fracture of the outer layer when the outer layer is impacted by a projectile.

Abstract: A security window having one or more vertically movable panels, suitably of a transparent, rigid plastic that is bullet-resistant. The security window is useful for a clerk in a convenience store. The security window is provided with a safety mechanism that is operatively associated with the one or more vertically movable panels, and prevents direct vertical manual movement thereof by a would-be robber.

Abstract: An automatic transaction machine storing apparatus for storing a plurality of automatic transaction machines. The apparatus includes a plurality of entrances for respectively carrying the automatic transaction machines therethrough into a customer room. The entrances are provided in front of set positions of the automatic transaction machines. A machine room defined behind the customer room has a space for maintenance of each automatic transaction machine or cash exchange. Furthermore, the apparatus further includes a plurality of security sensors provided on an outer panel of the apparatus to detect an external attack and a control unit for rotationally driving a rotating table on which each automatic transaction machine is mounted at a required angle according to information output from the security sensors, thereby orienting a security panel standing on the rotating table toward an attacked position to secure the automatic transaction machine against the external attack.

Abstract: To enhance or ensure personal security against an attack, threatened attack or believed attack, a flexible drop net, preferably made of ball chain elements (26, 30), connected at nodal points (28) is retained against and/or partly within a dropped or double-wall ceiling (2, 3). The drop net is held against the ceiling by a pull-up or raising chain, preferably also a ball chain (13), and pulled up by a lifting mechanism (18), for example rollers, engageable with a pull chain and operated by a motor, if desired. A triggering mechanism is coupled to a retention rail or plate (5) holding the drop net or at least a portion thereof within the double ceiling, against the drop rail or plate, or thereabove. Upon a triggering impulse being applied to an electromagnet (6), a linkage (7, 9) releases the drop rail or plate, thus dropping the flexible net over an attacker; any other persons, who are also within the range of the net, will likewise be trapped thereunder, without, however, causing injury.

Abstract: A reactive armour construction comprises a rigidly fixed outer layer and a relatively loosely fixed inner layer mounted on a structure to be protected in such a way that when a projectile penetrates at an oblique angle the outer layer and is incident upon the inner layer, the inner layer is allowed to move laterally relative to the outer layer thereby disrupting the line of attach of the projectile.

Abstract: A pass-through assembly includes a housing installable in a building wall structure as a finished complete unit. It has a sector-shaped shelf with upstanding transparent walls on the straight edges of the shelf and intersecting adjacent a vertical hinge. The walls cooperate with a part-cylindrical wall of the housing to provide doors on the assembly and preclude direct access from outside to the inside of the building wall. The housing and shelf are arranged for a normal closed position avoiding need for a sheltered location, but the unit is useful regardless of weather conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cylindrical housing mounted within a frame for rotation about its vertical, central, longitudinal axis. A chordal wall divides the cylinder into chordal segments and diametrically opposite access openings in the cylinder sidewall give access to each of the segments. A tray diametrically movable in one segment is controlled by a handle extending into the other segment. Sealing members prevent air leakage between the frame and the cylinder for all rotative positions of the cylinder within the frame.
