Barrier

摘要

A barrier formed from a plurality of identical modular units that have an essentially planar front panel and triangular shaped top and bottom plates extending rearward from the front panel. Adjacent units are interconnected to one another at their terminal vertices by a square tubular member. A square shaped opening is formed approximately centrally through each of the triangular shaped plates. In addition, elongated linkages may be provided at about the midpoint of each side edge for purposes of interconnecting units that are positioned adjacent to another unit so as to assist in the formation of the overall barrier. The linkages provide pivotal movement between adjacent barriers through a range of angles from about 90 degrees (to provide a corner arrangement) to 180 degrees (to provide a straight wall arrangement).

主权项

1. A modular ballistic barrier system, comprising:
a plurality of modular units positioned laterally and vertically adjacent to each other, wherein each unit includes a front panel defining a top edge, a bottom edge and two side edges, opposing top and bottom panels extending from said top and bottom edges of said front panel, respectively, and a tubular member spaced apart from said front panel and having a top portion associated with said top panel and bottom portion associated with said bottom panel; at least one linkage interconnecting the top panel of at least one of said modular units to the top panel of at least one of said laterally adjacent modular units; and at least one fastener interconnecting the top portion of said tubular member of at least one of said modular units to the bottom portion of a vertically adjacent modular unit.
