Description:
MODULAR MOBILE BALLISTIC SHIELD SYSTEM

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a modular mobile ballistic shield system used to protect against possible threats located at road control points, building entrances and exits, security points and base areas.

In particular, the invention comprises panels that provide ballistic protection and are explosion-proof. In addition, these panels relate to the mobile ballistic shield system that includes guide pins and lock systems that create a protection wall by ensuring that they are mounted vertically to each other, as well as mounting arms that enable the panels to be connected and fixed at the desired angle and that is related to the floor installation mechanism that allows it to be installed on a certain level of sloping ground.

STATE OF THE ART

Soldiers and/or policemen waiting for control and security at road control points, building entrances and exits, security points and base areas should be protected from threats that may occur. Today, there are various systems to provide this protection.

In the state of the art, precautions are taken by means of sandbags, trenches surrounded by stones or trenches created by digging the land in order to be protected from dangers and to be able to shoot at the enemy without being a clear target. Trenches created with sandbags are not suitable in terms of portability. Since the fast and easy installation of trench materials such as sandbags, stone rocks, etc. cannot be made at security points such as the base area, personnel become an open target until the installation is completed. The trenches to be made of stones and rocks are not always a viable solution as they depend on the land conditions. It is necessary to spend time and effort to change the location of the trenches created with sandbags to change the angle of protection. It is not possible to create a covered trench using rocks, stones or sandbags. To create a trench with sandbags, long set-up time is required. Additionally, ballistic weakness occurs at the contact points (joints) of equipment such as sand, stone, rock, steel plate and concrete block with one another. It is not possible to provide the same level of standard protection at all points of the trenches.

Another method used in the state of the art is concrete trench. Machinery, crane, lifting equipment, etc. equipment is needed for concrete trench solution. The transportation and installation of these being very difficult, it also is impossible to use these applications in some land conditions.

In concrete and other conventional ballistic solutions used in the state of the art, the ground must be arranged (excavated, levelled, etc.) in accordance with these methods.

The geometric design of the panels that make up the main structure in another conventional system called "US10648780B2 (WO2017134563A1) - Ballistic Panel and Ballistic System" in the state of the art is similar to the geometric designs of the panels in our design. In said document, there is no mention of a connection of the product, whose installation is completed, to the ground. The protection of the system against tumbling is provided by panels supporting one another and the weight of the structure. Since interlocking connections (expressed as lock in the document) are used in the structure mentioned in said document, it can only be used on flat surfaces. There is no system for adjusting or fixing the angle between the panels in the structure designed to interlock with one another. In addition, when the structures that make up the panel are placed on top of one another, ballistic weakness occurs at the junction points. In said document, it is possible to increase the ballistic strength of the structure by changing the panel thicknesses (thicknesses vary from 20 mm to 100 mm). In said document, there is no space created to be able to observe the outside of the product used as a trench and to shoot in case of danger.

As a result, for the solution of the above-mentioned problems of the state of the art, the need for a new economical, convenient, and practical shield system and the inadequacy of the existing solutions have made it necessary to make a development in the relevant technical field.

THE AIM OF THE INVENTION

Another important aim of the invention is to have a high ballistic protection feature compared to all conventional structures such as steel, concrete, sandbags, etc.

Another important aim of the invention is that the main panel structure has the feature of protecting against high fragmentation threats. Another important purpose of the invention is to have an increased ballistic protection feature with the option of an additional protection panel for the points where the ballistic threat is high.

Another important aim of the invention is that the structure can be set up in different configurations according to the needs and the panels can be fixed in a stable/rigid manner at different angles and geometries.

Another important aim of the invention is to provide the possibility of moving and relocating the panels as a whole after they are combined.

Another important aim of the invention is to protect the joints of the panels ballistically.

Another important aim of the invention is to provide the possibility to use the system in a way that can protect personnel and sensitive equipment from environmental conditions by means of its modular structure after the installation of the system is completed.

Another important aim of the invention is that it can be installed and used in all kinds of land conditions (slope, rough, etc.).

Another important aim of the invention is to standardize the ballistic protection at the determined level throughout the entire system compared to conventional systems and to have no regional weakness.

Another important aim of the invention is that the system has a more stable use and protection against higher impacts by means of the panel mounting arms that connect the panels to one another and the floor connection feet that provide the connection to the floor. Another important aim of the invention is to provide the possibility to be installed on rough and inclined lands by means of the support leg, support leg carrier, panel carrier body and leg joint bearing elements.

Another important aim of the invention is to use the panels as hand shields by means of the hand shield handle and handle-panel connection parts that can be attached to the panels.

Another important aim of the invention is to eliminate the ballistic vulnerabilities of the system with overlapping blades with ballistic protection at the junction points.

Another important aim of the invention is to add panel mounting bars and ballistic protective panel overlap washers on the panels to increase the overall protection level of the system, without creating ballistic weakness.

Another important aim of the invention is to include a window that allows to watch the outside by means of the grating space and the grating movement channel elements and can be closed with a ballistic panel if desired.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, preferred embodiments of the modular mobile ballistic shield system are explained for the sake of better understanding only and without any limiting effect.

Figures 1-13 show the inventive modular mobile ballistic shield system and its details. Our invention is used for the purpose of protection against threats that may occur in the military field. In the invention, the panels (10) that provide ballistic protection and have explosion resistance are connected to one another by means of vertical guide pins (80) and the lock system (70). After that, by the horizontal projections (12) entering the gaps (11), they are connected to one another at the desired angle and fixed by means of mounting arms (50). Our invention, the assembly of which has been completed, is fixed to the field by means of the connecting feet (40) that connects to the to the panel (10) from one end, and to the ground from the other, and is prepared for use in a way that provides basic level ballistic protection for a more robust use. Here, the connection feet (40) serves to form a solid structure by transmitting the sudden shock effects that may occur on the panel (10) to the ground by connecting to the ground in different land conditions. In addition, the connection angle of the connecting feet (40) is adjusted according to the desired conditions, and after it is adjusted, it is locked and fixed, increasing the strength of the system. In order to increase the ballistic protection level of the system, an additional panel (90) is connected to the other end of the mounting rod (100), which is connected to the panel (10) from one end. Here, washers (110) are used to prevent ballistic weaknesses in the mounting holes on the additional panel (90). In addition, a ballistic protective blade (30) is used to eliminate the ballistic weakness at the junction points of the panels (10) placed on top of one another.

In our invention, by pulling the grating (20) moving in the grating channel (60) aside, the personnel inside the panel (10) are provided with the possibility to see the outside.

As can be seen in Figures 6 and 13, the support leg (120) enables the installation and height adjustment of the invention in inclined and rough land conditions. In the invention, the carrier body (140), which is connected to the panel (10) and balances the entire weight of the panel (10), transmits the weight to the support leg (120) via the carrier (130). The support leg (120) carries the weight and ensures that the invention is properly installed in inclined and rough land conditions. Here, the weight of the joint (150) enables the carrier (130) to turn left and right and enables the support leg (120) to be positioned at the desired location.

As can be seen in Figure 4, our invention can also be used as a personal protection shield. Here, the handle (160) is connected to the panel (10) by means of the connection piece (170).

In our invention, the desired number of panels (10) are brought together to provide a wide protection area. In addition, our invention can be used for dangers from above. The scope of protection of this application has been determined in the claims section and cannot be limited to what is explained above definitely for exemplary purposes. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can demonstrate the innovation set forth in the invention by using similar embodiments and/or can apply this embodiment to other similar purposes used in the related art. Therefore, it is obvious that such constructions will lack the criteria of innovation and especially going beyond the state of the art.
