Abstract: A ballistic shield convertible between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration is disclosed. The ballistic shield includes a first ballistic panel including a ballistic material, and a second ballistic panel including a ballistic material. A pivotable connection between the first ballistic panel and the second ballistic panel is disposed such that, when the ballistic shield is in the unfolded configuration, an overlapping area exists between a portion of the first ballistic panel and a portion of the second ballistic panel.

Abstract: A ballistic shield has a strike face and a body side and includes a ballistic panel and a viewport. Plies of ballistic material are formed together as the ballistic panel. A pocket in the ballistic panel is recessed into the strike face of the panel, and is at least partially defined by a pocket wall that is offset from a main body portion of the ballistic panel in a direction away from the strike face. The pocket wall has an opening forming a viewing area that is circumscribed by a frame section of the pocket wall. A viewport is secured in the pocket with a first section of the viewport overlying the frame section of the pocket wall and a second section of the viewport overlying the viewing area.

Abstract: A head-mounted display system includes a left lens for a user's left eye and a right lens for the user's right eye. The head-mounted display system also includes left and right display screens. The left display screen is coupled to the left lens to provide images to the user's left eye through the left lens. The right display screen is coupled to the right lens to provide images to the user's right eye through the right lens.

Abstract: A full ballistic shield that can be carried by hand by an individual to protect that individual from bullets and the like in both the bottom portion of the body and the upper portion of the body, including the head and shoulders. The upper portion of the shield is a clear, unframed plastic plate that enhances the field of view of the user and provides extra protection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bullet-proof glass pane, in particular for use in a motor vehicle, comprising a ballistic block comprising a plurality of panes of glass, ceramic or plastic material bonded to each other over their surfaces in a layered composite, and interposed bonding interlayers of plastic material, wherein at least one bullet-resistant strip is provided, having, in particular, an essentially rectangular cross-section and covering the ballistic block of the bullet-proof glass pane at its peripheral edge.

Abstract: Gun ports fitted to a wall of a building or vehicle each comprise an expandable aperture that accommodates penetration from within by a gun barrel having irregularly shaped attachments. The gun ports can provide protection against laser pointers used in training exercises, where lasers are used outside the gun ports by attackers against those protected behind the gun ports. Each implementation of a gun port can accommodate guns of different sizes and shapes. The gun ports can be configured as exchangeable cartridges or subassemblies that can readily replace regular non-expandable apertures otherwise used for defense against real ballistic weapons and explosives. Each expandable aperture expands and contracts as necessary to fit sizes and shapes of a gun barrel portion inserted through it. Of special importance is accommodation of a laser sensor module attached near the firing end of a gun. A window for sighting the gun is provided.

Abstract: An armored door panel includes a planar device having a layered arrangement including a protection layer comprised of a ballistic material and an outer surface layer arranged on the outer side of the protection layer. The planar device is affixed to an existing door to prevent ballistic projectile from penetrating the door.

Abstract: A blast screen system for a framed opening including a mounting mechanism secured to the framed opening; and a flexible mesh panel secured by the mounting mechanism to cover the framed opening. The mounting mechanism includes a plurality of spring biased brackets, each having a first portion and a second portion, the first and second portions being joined by a pivot pin.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to armoured structures such as armoured vehicles and fortifications from which an attack or defence can be launched. In particular, the invention relates to a gun port arrangement for an armoured structure and to an armoured structure including said gun port arrangement.

Abstract: A high-security enclosure includes a base, a cover and a lock system. The lock system includes a base portion and a cover portion. The lock system base portion includes one or more fixed lock bars. The lock system cover portion includes one or more movable lock bars. Each movable lock bar is generally perpendicular to, and arranged to engage, one of the fixed lock bars. The lock system cover portion further includes a lock bar retraction assembly coupled to the one or more movable lock bars for retracting the movable lock bar(s) substantially simultaneously out of engagement with the fixed lock bar(s). A security drive mechanism is coupled to the lock bar retraction assembly to drive the lock system.

Abstract: A safe which is attachable to a motor vehicle. The safe may have a door bearing a lock which is centered on the door so that access to the lock is equal from opposed sides of the safe. The safe may have a slide-out drawer which rides on a track, in which case the track and drawer are centered within the safe. The drawer may be locked by a lock which is centered within one face of the drawer. The safe may have a mounting flange bearing at least one hole for engaging a retention element such as threaded fasteners or a tether.

Abstract: A sheet is removably positionable adjacent to a window. The sheet has upper, lower and side edges. A plurality of braces is secured to the sheet. Each brace has a metal base plate and a pair of fixed housings. A vertical push rod is slidably supported in each fixed housing for axial reciprocation. A cam is rotatably secured in each fixed housing. A swivel rod is secured to the handle and both of the cams. A reciprocable housing has an open upper face and a lower face. The housing is secured to the push rods. A rubber bumper is secured to the upper face. The bumper is adapted to contact an adjacent surface when in the extended operative orientation during operation and use.

Abstract: A drop and slide escutcheon system where the escutcheon has rims with locking members that fit into locking grooves formed in the funnels on the safe body. The escutcheon is offset by a slight amount, allowing the locking members to slide down into openings that provide access to the locking grooves in the funnel as the escutcheon is inserted into position. The escutcheon is then moved laterally, sliding the locking members into the locking grooves provided.

Abstract: A portable lock-box for storing and safekeeping valuables including money and credit cards. The portable lock-box includes a hand-held container having a front wall, a back wall, side walls, and end walls with one of the end walls having a slot disposed therethrough and with an opening being disposed through the back wall for accessing any contents in the hand-held container; and also includes a cover removably and lockingly disposed over the opening for securing the contents contained in the hand-held container; and further includes a door assembly including a door member being biasedly and hingedly closed over the slot; and also includes a carrying assembly for carrying the hand-held container; and further includes a lock assembly for locking the cover over the opening in the back wall.

Abstract: The invention is a pry-proof gun port for shielding a gun whenever the gun port is in a closed position and for permitting the gun to be discharged through the gun port whenever the gun port is in an open position. The gun port includes a frame mountable to a support structure such as a currency transport vehicle, the frame including an exterior mount plate that defines a discharge port dimensioned to support a closure shield. A push rod has an exterior end secured to a peripheral region of the closure shield and an intermediate portion passing through a chamber of the frame. The push rod moves axially to position the closure shield out of the discharge port, and the push rod then rotates the closure shield away from the discharge port to place the gun port in the open position. A lock rod interacts between a shoulder of the chamber of the frame and a lock shaft coaxial with and within the push rod to restrict opening of the closure shield from the exterior mount plate.
