SECURITY BARRIER SYSTEM

摘要

A deployable security barrier system (10, 10′, 110) is formed by deploying bullet-proof or bullet-resistant barrier fence sections (26, 26′, 28, 28′). A control system which enables rapid deployment of the sections to form across a hallway or other closed area a barrier fence (30, 130) which is high enough to prevent or at least greatly impede a person from passing through or over the fence. The barrier fence (30, 130) may extend from floor to ceiling or to a fixed barrier extending downwardly from the ceiling. The barrier fence may have at least one transparent section (26a, 28a) to enable law enforcement or security persons to observe the situation on the other side of the barrier fence. The controls also permit at least partial opening of the barrier fence to enable law enforcement or security personnel to pass through it as needed. Supplemental alarm and/or distracting and/or disabling agencies may be deployed in addition to the barrier fence (30, 130).

主权项

1. A security barrier system for closing a security area to passage therethrough by a person or persons, the barrier system comprising:
at least one deployable barrier fence; and a control system operatively connected to the barrier fence and capable of being activated to move the barrier fence between an undeployed position in which the security area is open to passage therethrough by a person or persons, and a fully deployed position in which the barrier fence closes the security area to any such passage therethrough; wherein the barrier fence is configured to enable, at a selected time after the barrier fence is in the fully deployed position, formation in the deployed barrier fence of a limited access opening to the security area.
